WHAT'S IN THE AIR?

Things are just a little off and uneasy right now.  I am not sure exactly what it is  but it isn't feeling quite right.  The kids had a pretty rough week last week, lots of "growing" which in the end is good, but in the short term is pretty hard.

I just weighed, with all my clothes on this time because its so cold in this house.  I was 253 which I think means I am back to losing weight..I can't remember.  My ankles and wrists and chins are looking a lot bonier though.  But that could be the cold.

I am slowly working my way through bookshelves, closets, and corners.  I am dragging a giant outdoor garbage can around with me and filling it up.  Man!  I love throwing crap out.  But Bill goes along behind and has a nervous nelly fit when he sees what I am getting rid of.  Honestly he can be so annoying.

 I hauled two huge boxes of purses, every purse I have bought in the last ten years, to get rid of them.  As I am going through them, I ended up keeping only one....an older coach purse that still looks new and I might use (for purse junk storage)  So as I emptied all the receipts, coinage, lipsticks, pencils, batteries, paper clips, old mints etc...from the bottom of all the other purses (and a 100 dollar bill from one....don't tell Bill cuz he would kill me) he decides that he is going to put on "the" facebook that we have all these old purses and would anyone like to have them or one.

  I had a fit.  Then for the next full five minutes I described to him the difficulty it would be to get these purses to all those people....not that anyone would ever want one.  And there they would sit until they were either all given away or a year from now when he would realize that, no, no one wants old ratty purses.

He is also being totally impractical about the old car.  We are buying a Scion next week.  So do we trade in the old one for 1500 or sell it for 2000?  Well didn't we go around the bend 400 times on that one.  Finally I just said, "you know what?  Do what you want.  I just know that next week I am getting the scion and you can deal with the car.  If you want to sell it go ahead, but I am not doing the craigslist thing, or buy and sell or auto trader...you can do that.  And you can take  all the phone calls and go for the test drives and mechanical inspections.  And you can take care of the transfer papers  etc...I will be out tooting around in my new car."  All you have to do is THINK!

Anyhoo...another day and its time to go make juice.  Off to Costco today for more veggies.  I am beginning to understand how addicts feel.....always having to keep track of the stash and replenishing it in time.  TTYL
