For Sale

My old life.  Yep, I'm selling it.

I'm really good at getting rid of things.  There was a time when I was actually bad at getting rid of things.  I mean, I got really good at getting rid of things that we needed... which ended up being bad.  Things like tax returns, receipts, heirlooms, and so forth.  I guess those are important.  Go figure.  I even got rid of baby stuff after Zach - who was the FIRST child.  Duh!  Who does that?  Gearing up for #2 was just as expensive as #1 since I had to start from scratch.

But, being a quick study (22 years counts as "quick"),  I now only get rid of stuff I really know I won't want in the future. ...and my old life falls under that category.

I'm also selling my house.

Going south to freeze

I didn't want to do it.  I wanted to go south to get WARM!  But no.  The southern warmth gods were on vacation somewhere... and they forgot to leave the sun "on".

February is just NOT my month.  In fact, the only reason I even like Valentines Day is because it means the month is 1/2 over!  I can't get to March fast enough... and even when it comes, I'm yearning for April.  Ahhhh, even seeing the word "April" in print is like using an inhaler.  It just opens my lungs and helps me breath easier... for a few more weeks. 

I've been in St. George for 3 days now... and I've managed to put an offer on a home.  $231,000 to be exact.  Did I come down here with that in mind?  NO!  (Did I tell Richard I was planning on looking for a home down here?  Yes.... but really, I wasn't.  *snort*   Mean, huh?)   But I did!  And I sat down and signed my name on a REPC - for a house that I had seen only 3 hours earlier.

A Fluke.  It was a fluke.  But now I want that fluke to realize its potential in life and turn in to a reality!  I want that home.  I want a "yes" from Fannie Mae.  I want to buy a home all by my little selfy.  Not a refi... cuz I just did that 2 months ago.  Nope, I want to BUY a home.  All new and memoryless and only me as the owner.  Forever.  No one before me - 'cept maybe the bank, because it does happen to be a repo.  (Go figure the builder getting a model home repo-ed!  HA!) 

If I DO get a positive response from old Fannie, I think I'll name the house "fluke".

Fluke and Zippy.  House and car.  Mine and Mine.

I still need the heat one way or the other.  ....please shine down on me!

Ch-ch-ch-change!

I love change.  I always have.  Yes, I love change like quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies... but that AIN'T the kinda change I'm talkin 'bout.  I'm thinking about all the others; physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual.

Out of those five areas, I think physical change is the easiest.  Pack up, move down the road - Tada!  Change accomplished. 

Social change might be the next in line.  I mean, with all the social media avenues available lately, a person can change socially with a few strokes of the keyboard.  Those avenues allow us to be who ever we want to be... for better or for worse.

Intellectual comes next in my mind... ha ha, pun intended.  ;o)  Making the decision to change intellectually begins the intellectual change right there!  Deciding to read new genres, or taking a class that is out of a comfort zone, or even choosing a new blog to follow - those seem to be pretty simple ways to make intellectual changes.

I think emotional and spiritual kind of go together.  At least they seem to right now.  Those two areas would be the ones that have been with us the longest - I mean, we are born with those "identities" whereas the other three seem to be more choice oriented. 

Aren't we? 

Born with those? 

Does our emotional and spiritual "self" make up who we are from even before birth?

I know I'd like to debate this whole issue with myself - and I could probably do a good job.  However at 12:30 am, I can barely keep both eyes open, much less keep my fingers in the correct place on the keyboard!

Why am I writing in the first place?

Nobody follow me, ok?

;o)

I'm not having a good time.

Some days are good days... this was not one of them.

I have lots of things in my head, but I can't seem to get them out through my hands. Not just through my fingertips on the keyboard; I can't even get ideas - like say "cleaning" - done.  

I've never been bi-polar, but I think I can see both North and South at the same time lately.

Is that indicative of something???

Maybe it's a good thing.  Maybe it means I am good at seeing "both sides."
