Why I Can't Wait to Move

We move in a week. I cannot wait. Everything is falling into place, and soon it will be time to pick up the moving truck and relocate to Noblesville.

There are so many things to look forward to:


  1. No more only getting to see each other for 36 hours on the weekends.
  2. No more text message good nights.
  3. The 45 minute drive to and from Atlanta every weekend.
  4. The washer and dryer are included in the apartment: NO MORE LAUNDROMAT
  5. I won't have to clean up the mess made by the birds while I was gone every Sunday night.
  6. The prospect of having a social life again.
  7. We will not have to drive far for all the concerts we are going to this summer.
  8. There will no longer be a loud guy living upstairs.
  9. The birds will have company on the weekends and every other week during the day.
  10. I will no longer be cooking (or grocery shopping) for just one person. 
  11. I love our new neighborhood. Everything I need is nearby.
  12. My new kitchen is actually big enough for 2 people.
  13. My new bathroom is bigger than a shoe box AND has actual counter space.
  14. 2 people to do housework as opposed to 1
  15. Screened in balcony
  16. As much as I love spending time with his family (I honestly do. They are awesome), the extra privacy will  be nice. 
  17. Having space that is "ours"
  18. Having a decent workout room on site.
  19. Having a comfortable couch.
  20. Having pretty much all matching furniture.
And there is so much more...

It has been an interesting ride over the past almost 32 years: I was a cute baby: I was an adorable toddler: I was a child with a bad perm: Police Radios were just a part of Christmas morning and family dinners : I had the "coolest car" I may have vandalized a friend's car with evidence tags and rubber gloves found in aforementioned cool car: I went to college: Moved Away and Made New Friends: I traveled: I even toured with a band: Bottom Line: No matter where I have gone, what

Best Laid Plans

I sat down and crafted a list of blog topics last night, and the plan was start working through that list tonight. It was going to be the start of a true reboot of this old thing. While I had planned on picking my stepdaughter up at the Boys and Girls Club after work I didn't plan on: 1) The amazon parrot needing me to make a food stop on the way home 2) My stepdaugher wanting me to watch her practice for color guard 3) That working on our budget would take nearly as long as it did. 4) Being this exhausted for no particular reason Now I sit here with a basset hound in my lap, and I am awkwardly trying to type on my laptop without disturbing him.
