3. Kids doing well.  :D
4. Need a nap but adults don't take naps.
5. Need to watch Season 2 of Doctor Who.
6. Listen to Marc Anthony and dance salsa.
7. Hungry and in the mood for sushi.
8. I have several characters talking in my head and they won't leave me alone.  I guess I better write tonight.  :)

10. Have a great weekend!

False Start Friday: Moving

This is part of the False Start Friday from Subliminal Coffee.  I wrote a little drabble and then revised my old To Do List that never got finished.  


In approximately one month, my husband and I will venture on a new journey- homeownership.  Yes, we are purchasing our first home and I cannot be more excited.  However, packing is absolute hell.  You never realize how much crap you have until you have to move.  My living room looks like a storage facility with boxes stacked upon boxes.  There are always three piles, lying about, when sorting through all this stuff: purge, keep and donate.  The piles are lessening but the monumental task has not.  Thank goodness, we have approximately one month before closing.  Well, back to packing . . . *faints*
