I’m fine and how are you doin?

July 1st, 2009

Hey there stranger!… Looking GOOD!

Yeah Hi remember me?  I am Ashley and I used to post here once in a while…ya’ll remember that right?  I used to write here ALL the time.

Then the 007’s  got this great idea…we’ll call it let’s do a thousand home improvement projects and put our house on the market.  So I haven’t had much time for the internet OR my Tivo.  Which means I have a bunch of episodes of Kathy Griffin to watch, I haven’t written in forever, my inbox is overwhelming,  and my Google reader is FULL of blogs to read.  Blogs by actual bloggers who actually post content on their actual blog.

Wow what a concept.

It makes me feel a little out of sorts when I don’t write often.  But with all of our projects and cleaning and packing it’s been hard to find the time.

Soon I hope to be able to write more often.  Our house has a for sale sign in the front yard and tomorrow we will be officially on the market.

Now all I have to do is try to keep everything clean with an 8 yr old, a 21 month old, a 95 lb dog and 2 indoor/outdoor cats (one of which has kitty dreadlocks and likes to pull them out all over the house).

Ya’ll wish me luck on that.

We did pack up a TON of stuff and we rented a  storage unit.   Everything looks so nice and feels like everything has a place.

Why in the SAM HILL WORLD do I need all of that stuff?  If I can pack it up and live without it for 6 months or so then why do we keep it around?

It’s made me realize that during this move I want to simplify.  I have always been pretty good about cleaning out and getting rid of stuff but I still have needless crap in storage.  So when we move I am going to be really careful about getting rid of things we are holding onto for no good reason.

So that’s what’s going on here…and I am doing a pretty good job of  staying sane.  Staying up too late and drinking a quart of coffee every morning.  It’s all worth it.

    It’s really nice to have you back; I can’t tell you how nice it is. You are so wise to be thinking about simplifying. My life may never been the same after the big move…
