Jason is back to work today, after almost two weeks off. His nose is healing well and it’s time to get back into our normal routine. This weekend we were able to do a lot of cleaning and I even started packing! I know I’m jumping the gun a bit, but I like doing it. It gives me a chance to really go through things and organize everything. I got rid of a bunch of stuff, too, which always feels good. The only thing I hate about 3 day weekends…you feel like you’re always struggling to catch up that week. Like, I already feel today that I’m behind for some reason. Sigh.

You should have seen the nast going on with my shirt today at the gym. Actually, you didn’t want to see it. I’ve never been that dripping wet before and I blame the new StairMasters! They are rotating real stairs that you have to climb over and over again without stopping. If you miss a step, you die. No, you just trip a little and have to catch up, but it’s still really hard! I did it for 20 minutes, after I had already done 50 minutes on the Eliptical. I was a hot mess. But you know, I kind of want to get up tomorrow morning and do it all again. It’s the best kind of torture.

I look around this house and just feel like getting rid of everything. I need to sell a bunch of stuff before we move, not only for the extra cash but just to get rid of all the crap! It’s sad, but I put a bunch of my yarn on eBay yesterday. I wouldn’t have been able to do that a few months ago, but now I’m in the zone where I’m not even attached. All I care about is getting our home and starting fresh! Anyway, guess what? It’s only been one day and I’m already making $50 on my auctions! And seriously, I’ve been carrying this yarn around in boxes for years. I just don’t have the time to do all the projects I want right now. (I did finish my felted squid, though!) Maybe someday, and then I’ll just go back to eBay and buy someone else’s yarn. :)

Here it is again…the first round of auditions on the hugely addicting show, So You Think You Can Dance?. It’s basically American Idol all over again. Only with dancers. Or people who just want to be on TV. Now that AI is over, I’ll definitely be tuning in. Unlike most people on AI, there are actually some very talented people, so the whole thing isn’t a complete joke. I mean, it’s still a joke. But not such a bad one. That’s kind of the most you can ask out of reality television, right?

And after the day we had today, I just want to get lost in a dumb show right now. We were up late last night pulling together another offer on a house. Today, after scrambling around and a million phone calls and emails, we found out it just wasn’t going to happen. It sold before we could even get our offer evaluated. Jason and I are just so emotionally drained right now. But we are pulling through and moving forward. We’re seeing another house tomorrow morning, so keep your fingers crossed for us!

I’m so excited about getting away this summer. I really can’t believe it is almost June, either. That’s crazy. Anyway, Seattle is going to be so fun. I love, love, love road trips! The best part is stopping at gas stations and raiding their little shopping marts, buying all sorts of crap for 99 cents, like trucker bandannas and keychains that say “I Love Jesus.”

Ah…vacation!
