We Interrupt This Blog

November 27th, 2008

Hi All,

Taking a short (any by short I mean long procrastinating) break from packing and moving to bring you this message from Clockwork.  Clockwork.  The company I work for.  Does anyone pay attention to what I blog about?  I thought so.

Please help me keep my job by visiting this site:  http://www.myfruitrollups.com/

Good News

October 2nd, 2008

The geekdarling clan is moving!  If all goes well we’ll be moved in on or before December 1st.


Pros: Cons:
It’s a house!

In a nice neighborhood.

Sunny living room with a bay window

4 bedrooms

Stainless steel gas stove

Finished basement

Huge yard

3-season porch

Wrap-around deck

2.5 car garage

Washer and dryer

It’s a rental but we may have an option to buy in the future.

Just outside our current school district

TEAL CARPET

4th bedroom is sketchy

Small kitchen

Wood paneling

Yard work

I knew this was going to happen because I just started hanging pictures on our walls.  The apartment was supposed to be temporary but after 2 years of living there temporarily…

I’m totally excited but did I mention the TEAL carpet?  It’s new and “high-end” so there’ll be no justifying tearing it up - at least while we’re renting.  Obviously the homeowners – or one of them – loves teal.  But me?  Not so much.

So, y’all can expect me to be preoccupied (READ: obsessed) with moving and all that entails.

I’m thinking of inviting all of our relatives for Christmas – is that insane?

What TRULY Matters

March 1st, 2008

I was going through one of my journals and found this list, obviously brainstorming for content for this blog and was probably written around the time my grandmother died:

On My Mind:

    Growing Older
    Death & Dying
    CHOCOLATE CAKE
