Closing

When a surreality becomes reality........ I've been working on buying my first house. Today I got notice that it will be closing on Friday. Pretty amazing. On Saturday I'll have a place that is mine (well, mine and the banks......quiet roommate, though). The Title paperwork's first page had a moderately large figure circled on it that indicated what I owe up front. Thankfully I don't have to even write a check for that. The money will just be debited from my account. I think I might have trouble writing a check that big. While it's a lot of cash money up front, I am still really excited about my new place. I'm already planning the layout, the toys and the parties (sophisticated social gatherings, I mean)

Spillage

As I dine on this most delicious Marie Callender's pot pie I can't help but notice that as I lean forward my pants feel a little tighter. Granted I wear the same size waistband now that I did in high school......it just seems like the style back then was, perhaps, baggier. I'm not sure where that "baggy" went. Now I fill them out quite nicely. Okay, maybe there is a little bit extra coming over the top. Not when I'm standing, mind you. But sitting...........not so good. Soon I'm going to have to make a decision......go up in size or start working some of this Alaskan insulation off. I suppose it is summer time. Now where are those running shoes?

What a mess.......

I have a problem....... For the life of me, I can't seem to organize. I have one day a week when I do administrative things. Last week I spent the whole day cleaning my office. When I finally made it, the surface of my desk was very foreign. Unfortunately a few days of patients and various work things and I'm starting to lose sight of the desk again. I think the problem is that while I can put things away, I'm not quite sure how to control new things coming in. My boss gave me a book Getting Things Done. It's about that exact thing: organizing projects and prioritizing incoming things. I've had it for a month or two, and you know? I just can't seem to get it done. Seems interesting with a lot of good ideas, but sometimes I'd rather be checking out the internet news sites or reading something more interesting. My house is not much better. Right now I blame it on the space... my place is tiny, tiny. But I'm buying a new bigger house, so that will shortly cease to be an excuse. Sigh........guess I'll go start on the dishes
