Listingly

Current mood: listless
I love making lists. Should come as no shock to those of you who know me well. Somehow, when things get crazy, list-making helps me make sense of it all. Not a lot of sense and a wealth of crazy in my life have driven me to my steno-pads...

My newest list follows:


1. I want to continue working out and not drop it like I did last year when I was working out at least six times a week. I have to make time for this. I have to make sure I do it. I feel better, I look better and at some point, I will live in the same state as my husband and he deserves me looking and feeling better.

2. I want to live in the same state as my husband. Sooner as opposed to later. My short-term goal is to be there by the seventeenth anniversary- February 22. And not for a visit.

3. I want to sell this freaking house. There is nothing wrong with it. I am willing to wheel and deal. I want it gone. This is what is keeping me from number two, and maybe even a little bit of a contributary factor in number one. It is hard to work out with a vacuum cleaner in one hand and a toilet brush in the other. I am sure some have mastered that art, but I ain't one of 'em.

4. I want to not go sit at wrestling all night. Every night. Yes, that's right, I said every night. Coach has been a little disappointed in the team's performance post-Chirstmas and has decided that the every day practices the kids had during the break were what made them do so well at the first tourney or two. Now, we are back at every day.

5. I want to be warm in the Combatives gym, where I will now be spending every weeknight. That is one cold place.

6. I want a bigger tax refund than I think we are going to get. It would be extremely helpful to have large amounts of cash in the coming months, for more than the obvious reasons.

7. I want to wake up next to Travis again. Every day. Sure, going to sleep with him at night has its perks too, but waking up with him is the proverbial icing on the cake. And, that says a lot since he IS a morning person and I am most certainly not.

8. I want someone else to clean this freakin' house which I don't want any more. Yes, the kids help me, but I am the one who does the vast majority of the things that keep it up and running and smelling nice and yummy. Oh, and I don't want to pay that someone else, unless I get that ginormous tax refund I am dreaming about.

9. I want my Realtor to prove to me that she is worth the money she might make off us. March 12 is the day the contract expires and trust me, if I haven't moved yet, there's gonna be some fireworks on March 12. FIREWORKS, I TELL YOU! Stay posted.

10. I want someone to buy this house. I know I already put that on this list, but that will help cure all the other ills I am experiencing. How much lower do I need to drop the price? It is 48 dang dollars a square foot. Seriously, homes are selling now (albeit slowly) and they are mostly going for more than $60-65 a foot. Even the bank foreclosures with no stove and stripped of all the fixtures are still pulling $60 a foot. I have a bid dang house. I have a cheap house. Anyone want a big cheap house? Closing costs? Sure. Carpet allowance? You bet, just buy the thing!

11. I don't want to take La Princessa to Physical Therapy any more. Blog to follow on that, but jeesh, enough already!

12. I want a haircut. I want to go visit Beth and get a tricked-out kick-ass haircut. I have to budget that in. Maybe when the tax refund comes?

13. I also want a pedicure. Sure, "Touch" does a nice enough job, but I want the deluxe pedi. You know the one where you propose marriage to the chick who does your pedi because you feel so awesome? Yeah, that one. Ding, ding-tax refund.

14. I want to not have two houses any more so I can get my hair and feeties done when I want and not when taxes come.

15. I want this killer dress I saw at the mall today. It is so made for my body-type and is the perfect blend of lady and ho and I really want it.

16. I also want these shoes they had at the new shoe store in the mall. They, too, are right up the alley I mentioned in number 15 and, they go with the dress perfectly. Yup, taxes.

17. I want to wear that dress and those shoes when I drive up to our new home in South Carolina after selling this stupid house and getting our tax refund when I kiss my husband as a resident of South Carolina for the first time.

18. Then I want to go to sleep in my new state and wake up the next morning next to Travis.
