It’s been too long since I posted. I know there are probably about 3 people out there in the world wondering what I am doing. Or, maybe I’m kidding myself and no one cares.
It’s 2010! I think everyone might have noticed that by now. Honestly, I’m not a big New Year person. I stopped making resolutions years ago and just don’t seem to place as much importance on the change in calendars as I see other people do. So, I’ll spare you the “this year I’m going to…” entry and talk about something else.
We have been in our new house for 2 full weeks now since returning from Virginia. I think the traveling is done and I hope to stay put in Austin for at least a couple of months. I have been feeling so out of sorts since we moved 2 months ago and I just want to stay in this house and nest. Almost the entire house is unpacked and this past weekend we ventured out in search of frames to start decorating. Hopefully, by the end of this week there will be pictures on the walls and it will feel more like home.
So far, I love Austin and our new life. Working from home has posed its challenges (our bed and a TV are literally 20 feet behind me all day) but the positive side of it is that I do not feel completely exhausted at the end of each day. I want to get up and go out of the house and into the world. We have been exploring a lot – mostly my eating out too often but we have also gone on some nice walks around town. We even took country dance lessons at the Broken Spoke down the street from our house. That was a riot! The first thing the lady said was that the man needs to be in charge and that the ladies need to not boss them around and zip their mouths closed. For those of you that know me, that was a difficult thing to swallow! I think we almost killed each other but hopefully we learned something from it and next time will be able to work better together.
One of my favorite parts of being back home so far has been the ability to see my parents in short intervals. We met my dad and stepmom for BBQ over the weekend and will meet up again this week for dinner. My mom and stepdad came over one night and I made dinner and we played card games. I haven’t had time like this with them in years. My visits were always short and rushed and nothing was this casual. By the end I was always itching to get away again. These short meetings are so wonderful! We talk for a couple of hours and then go our separate ways. Parents in short doses = a great idea.
