I was whining the other day that I had nothing to think about or focus on. For a long time I had the pool of doom that commanded my attention. Once it was done, I briefly thought about landscaping, but decided I didn't want to go into debt again, so I dismissed those thoughts.
Sure I could think about how dirty the house is and what I could clean, but geesh.... that's even more depressing than not having anything to think about.
I refuse to think about my baby leaving for college. Hey, Denial works for me. I figure this plan will continue working for a few more days until I have to start writing checks and shopping for college supplies. College and ROTC isn't cheap. So, thinking about money issues.... well, I'll pass on that too.
Dates... hmm... Seems I get asked out by men that I find no initial attraction for. Who wants to think about boring dates? Ugh. pass.
So, as I said, I found myself with nothing to think about. Looking into the future wasn't a very fun place to go meandering.
And then.....
IT happened.
Something to think about. To focus on. To keep my mind busy and active.
Our office is moving. And I'm in charge of everything. Uh yeah. Everything from finding suitable/affordable new offices, to getting quotes for movers, to moving, to arranging the shift of phones, network, licenses, to ... well.... EVERYDAMNTHING....
AND... I have 2 months to accomplish this.
OMG, one day I will learn to keep my mouth shut ... ya think?!

Italy
I want to go to Italy.
I don't travel per se.... but for Italy, I'd hop a plane in an Italian minute.
By chance I saw an article about a travel agency that specialized in "ChickTrips." Trips for women with other women... a girls weekend of sorts stretched into 7 days. A girls week in Italy. Now THAT sounds like fun.
You stay in a villa, and a few delightful extras are included in the trip such as art lessons with an artist there, balloon trips, bicycle trips, etc.
I can't get it out of my mind...
Italy anyone?

Where in the World Is Sie
So ummm... what's new? Not a darn thing really.
Son #1 started college today at a local technical school. He's majoring in computer science. Very happy to have him back in school !!!!!!!!
Son #2 went to South America for a 7 week college trip. He's down there working in the clinics and hospitals, getting a feel for the medical major he's chosen. We'll see if he still wants to be a doctor after this.
His trip has gone smoothly with one small terrifying side note: On Sunday night, the house he was staying at was robbed while he was the only one there. He was in the shower when he heard someone ransacking the place. He got dressed, grabbed a pair of scissors that were in the bathroom, and made his way out the house and to a neighboring house for help. He had hidden all his papers in different places, so fortunately his passport was not stolen, but his bank card, drivers license and one of my charge cards was, so I spent time cancelling all those while battling the urge to call the airlines, hop a plane to Salta, South America and go hug my kid.
Son #3 was accepted to a few colleges and chose his favorite, North GA Military College. He will leave this fall. It's close to home, but he will be living on campus. My baby is leaving. I'm happy for him, but in denial that he will be gone soon. He's going to major in international affairs. Look out Blackwater here he comes.
And me. I've been......
a slug. :)
