Well, hello and happy spring! Sorry for the absenteeism but I felt the need to disappear for a bit. And it seems if others had the same idea- sad to see that while I was gone, a few of my favorites left too. I guess it’s nice to see things moving along for everyone though…
My house is doing fine! I guess it still hasn’t hit me that I have a house or maybe it never will because I was ready for it, so they’ll be no big realization that I owe a mortgage. We’re all settling in and find our “places”. We’re learning quickly (with the help of a constant stream of HGTV flowing through our cable wires) about the in’s and out’s of owning a home and we’re handling it quite well.
Of course, the unexpected does happen from time to time:
Water pipe burst in the front yard. Do not pass go and collect $200 but rather pay $2,600 for a shiny new pipe for your yard. Ouch! This will put us back a bit on doing any improvements to the house for a while. It will also put us back everywhere else too…eating out, housewares and especially CLOTHES!
Have no fear, as unpacking from the move, I discovered that I am a clothes hoarder. I have so many clothes that it kinda makes me sick (not to mention, most of them still have tags on them). In my line of work, I have to dress in business attire, which isn’t what I wear on a weekend – so , this leaves me to have a few different types of wardrobes all within one (tiny) closet.
I’ve decided that before I buy anything else-clothes wise, I need to donate (CHECK-DONE) and I need to stop buying! So, I won’t be buying any new clothes anytime soon and I wan to * try * to wear everything I have now, at least once in it's proper season.
It's good to be back but it was nice to be away. Sometimes things happen and all you can do is quit for a while and flop home from work every night and watch hours of The Big Bang Theory and 30 Rock. I don't blame myself for doing this but I'm ready to dust the snow off and go out into the spring and wake up a bit again...hibernation's over.
