I haven't been doing it. Boo for me.
I have an excuse though! Two words: wedding invitations. They took over my life thanks to the possessed HP All-In-One at my parents' house. It wouldn't feed the lovely invitation paper I had chosen because it is not a smooth edge. After three weeks of driving an hour down to my parents' 1-3 times per week, I gave up and busted out my dinky little printer. PRESTO! Invitations printed! Needless to say, they are done, looked beautiful, and were sent off in the mail yesterday. My mother-in-law-to-be said that she got theirs today! Cleveland mail must be fast!
Now that wedding invitations are over I thought that I might have a little time to, oh unpack the office, since we HAVE been living here since MAY. But then I had my bridal shower this weekend. It was SO amazing. My aunt did a great job! Everything was cute and laid back and not too girly. And all of my friends and family were super generous. We are SO lucky! I was a good girl and got the thank you cards promptly done and now it is time to unpack and put away all the stuff we got! As JR says, "It's like Christmas!"
Then today in our door we get a notice that on Thursday (please note it is after 2pm on Tuesday), some state agency will be doing random inspections at our complex. Now we knew this was a possibility because it told us in the lease. There are two problems with this however. 1) The list of things to make sure we're NOT doing includes not having a lot of clutter around. Our office is currently stacked full of shower gifts, school boxes, and stuff that we have yet to unpack from the move. Guess what I'm spending my day off tomorrow doing? 2) They can come anytime from 9am-6pm and we don't have to be here, but I'm still a bit creeped out by people I don't know possibly coming in my house when I'm not home. Is that weird? However, I can't miss out on work for the day just to sit around for 9 hours because they MIGHT come. Ugh.
On top of all this, I am teaching a new course in the fall that I have not even BEGUN to write. I also need to reorganize things for my other classes. I wanted to get a lot done this summer, but wedding planning sort of took over. Now school is 25 days away and I have nothing done. I WAS going to go down to school tomorrow, but the possible inspection ruined that plan.
So much to do, so little time.
Speaking of... I should be putting more new dishes away so I can reload the dishwasher instead of blogging.
Buenos noches :)
