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.

Thank you, I now return you to the regularly scheduled, non-existent blogging.
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

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?

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:
