The Final Countdown!

Today I started the final countdown at work with only ten days remaining. I am giddy in a borderline inappropriate way. On my drive in to work this morning I also became anxious and petrified that I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I wanted to throw up.

But that is silly, I have made colossal mistakes time and time again and none have made me near this excited. I still could throw up though.

I still can't believe in just a few months I will be somewhere else. I will be handing out my new zip code and area code. The next door neighbor won't know what to make of me and probably won't want to help me with my dead battery. Where will I get my fresh vegetables; my wine; my exercise. Will there be a dishwasher in my new place, God I hope so; I have always wanted one of those.

I have never been this settled before a major move. Most places I have lived in the past, I usually still had 3 good sized boxes I had never even unpacked. Here, I woke up last night in a panic that I will forget the holiday gear in the attic. I have Christmas yard art for crying out loud. Gone are the days of throwing the emergency Vegas wear in the car and moving. I am a grown up now. And I have a hell of a lot of books and albums and tee-shirts and cookware; and three bedrooms worth of furniture. I remember when I barely had enough furniture to fill a studio apartment and not look like a squatter.

I am thinking, yard sale! All I need where I am going is my dream; and maybe a good set of knives.

Oh Lord! Tomorrow there will only be nine work days left...and then I will shift my panic to being unemployed in these disastrous economic times. 

Recipes: The perfect avocado and garden fresh tomato with a little s&p! I love to just take my avocado boats and scoop away that creamy goodness then rotate with that beautiful tomato that just came from your neighbor's garden. YUM!

Road trips: seriously gonna have to research some u-hauls!

Renovations: it is OK to be terrified!
