Mighty Who??

WOW!! Has it been this long since I've made an entry here?? Apparently so. Very wrapped up in other things.

The bulk of which has been house hunting. Found a place and have a contract pending. Expect to close this Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. It is a Townhouse close to my present location. Needs some work, mostly cosmetic, but otherwise in good shape. Kitchen needs some work too. Old color counter tops - a brown kinda orangey color. Very different. Two bedrooms, two story, 1.5 bath with a decent sized back yard - not huge, but enough to have a garden and entertain. Unfortunately, no garage or car cover, but I've lived without that for years. Common in this part of the town with many older homes in which, at that time, garages or even car ports for that matter where less common. Besides, it will keep me from collecting that much more crap. Best part . . . city park within spitting distance - Nice!

The mission now is to pack my current crap. All 11..12 years of it. At first glance - "Huh, not much. Shouldn't be too bad." Upon further analysis (like - getting started), "Man I got a lot of shit! Someone save me!" On the one hand, I need to get rid of a lot of stuff. But on the other hand, by the time I've driven somewhere to offload it, I could have taken it to my new place. Catch 22.

So I'm starting to pack even before I've closed. Good plan bad plan? I think good. At this point, everything is in place and I see no reason not to get it unless something really weird happens or the seller backs out at the last minute. Might as well get started. Even if the strange happens and the deal is called off between today and closing, moving is inevitable as I'll simply be looking at more places or select one of the other places I looked at if it is still available.

Man I got too much crap.

In other news . . . sorry, not much. Work, gym, looking for a date. Know anyone?? Female - 32..45 - single (yes, nothing funny here) - you know the drill. Desperate??? Nah, not even.

Saw the Bodies in Motion exhibit. It is in town for a few months. Came here a couple of years ago, but was unable to go. Very interesting! Amazing how they are able to preserve the body and do all the displays. Fascinating!

Have I mentioned I got too much crap? Need to start lining up a few friends to help me move. Oh!! I discovered Craig's List. Official moving boxes - FREE - Check. Appliances - Check. Furniture and other stuff to fix the new place up with - Cheap - Check. Just got to beat everyone else to it. As you can tell, I'm working against the American economy by buying used and not new. What the heck is wrong with me. I'm so unAmerican.

Take care.
