I figured out how to change the header image!
Also - I suck at html, so this is a big deal for me!
Yaaaaay!
So, after wasting far too much time on that, I'm going to go run around in the sun with my dog for a while now.

We close on the new house in 26 days, and I have yet to pack a single box. I know. I have set aside the last two weekends for the specific purpose of sorting through all the crap in the basement and getting a jump on the packing... but I haven't done a thing.
I keep deluding myself, imagining that I will somehow find time to get it all done in the time we have left before moving day, because I am pro at moving (this will be move number 40 after all!), and I am so practised at tucking all my worldly treasures into boxes and uprooting on a moments' notice, that this time will be no different... why would it?
But it is different... we have managed to fill this townhouse with so much stuff (mostly wedding presents - which we are super grateful for!), boxes of things, including appliances, which I have never before in my life owned... this move is going to be a big one...
Maybe I'm putting it off because in my mind, this is it... this is the one! Gone are the days of renting... gone are the days being able to pick up and disappear... no more nomadic criss-crossing of the province for me!
Not that it's a bad thing... not at all! I love our new house... I am super excited to finally be able to knock down a wall if I want to... and I am really looking forward to tearing into that ugly sage carpeting that the current owners have covered the entire upper floor in... but it's also daunting... because as of May 16th, I will officially have my first mortgage... I will be certified grown-up...
scary, no?
So I'm putting things off... I haven't sorted, I haven't packed, and I haven't hauled all the things off to goodwill for donating that I have been meaning to donate since the last time we moved... and I am no where near ready to move... I have let another weekend go by without accomplishing anything I meant to do... instead, here are the things I managed to do this weekend:
1. Take a 3 hour nap on Saturday
2. Convince the boy to order pizza for dinner, in lieu of my having to cook
3. Lay on the sofa, with my head on the boy's lap, watching re-runs of Supermarket Sweep from the 90's
4. Figure out how to insert a header image on here
5. Go to the dog park with Trevor and the boy on Sunday afternoon
6. Grocery shopping for the week
7. Scoop the litter box
8. Whine and complain about not having accomplished anything
Try again next weekend? Except, I have to go to a tupperware party on Saturday (oh, how it frightens me that I am becoming a person who attends tupperware parties and has a mortgage)...
*sigh*
