I am sitting here surrounded by cut-out pattern pieces for various garments, a pile of ironing, and the vacuum cleaner which is sitting in the hallway to remind me to actually use it. While I was at Brian's mom I felt as though I was wasting time and wished I'd brought some knitting or sewing, now that I am back home I can't seem to get moving. Wasting time is what I've accomplished most.
Since the artificial Christmas tree doesn't post any real hazard the way the real ones did, I have a feeling it's going to be up for a while. Maybe we'll get to it this weekend. Un-decorating the house is just so boring. As is this post. Didn't I have something more interesting to write?
My 41st birthday approaches. Not nearly as exciting as my 40th. My 40th year turned out pretty well--we hosted a Japanese student, took our first vacation in years to Niagara Falls, I got a job. Not bad at all. So far my big goal for this year is to do something, anything with the back yard. I think we've gotten rather complacent settling into the new house and all the plans we had for improvements have been sadly neglected.
All right. I need to get something done.
