Overheard...

at the IHOP in Hillsboro on Friday night...

So, uh, do you have to take some special class to learn how to kiss ass?

Spring Cleaning

Well, I got this new cool job, I'm considering relocation to a new apartment and just plain starting from scratch with everything. (The GasPipe opening down the street from me jump started the process)
Loose ends seem to be tying up. With the new job, the email address for my blog was misplaced.
Okay, I didn't have the energy.
I finished school...finally. I'm almost finished with physical therapy, and was finally able to make a trip down to visit the family. A trip I needed more than I realized. I delayed returning until the latest possible time and had a hard time walking out the door.
Family is so refreshing sometimes. Observing my parents in their new "oldness". My dad pushing vitamin C on me and asking for a subscription to Nexus magazine, my mom pulling out strawberry cake from the freezer to celebrate my birthday and so she could indulge her sweet tooth. We sat around the little tub of tupperware with forks and had a giggly time. My brother and sister bickered the entire time. She seems to have good luck these days, he seems to be getting the yang of her good ying.
My nephews are getting older, the littlest is sporting a toothless smile these days and demonstrated great competency as a catcher on their baseball team. The twins are in it for the uniform, I think. Although there was discussion to groom Kyle to be a pitcher since he's been a shockingly accurate thrower since he could drool. Those are the best scholarships is what they were saying. Oh the pressure.
My Jeep is now running as it should and now I just need to give it a little more TLC to make it 100%.
So...no more school, no more physical therapy, no more car accident worries, no more missing the family as much... What kind of drama is there to look forward to?
Change the bathroom, get a new sofa...new dining set...new new new!! Clean sweep time!
My school reunion is in July, at least these are pleasant things to stress about.
