In the process of getting my place ready to go on the market next week, I threw out a whole bunch of newspaper & magazine articles & items that I had saved to write about but never found the time. It bummed me out, but I'm in an "everything has to go!" mode right now.
8 boxes of books to Half-Price Books
9 bags of trash
More than 10 bags of clothes, etc to the surplus store - not done yet...
The busyness of life is keeping me on my toes, but it's cool. My 20-year-old called with what she thought was a crisis today & was surprised I wasn't angry. I got over being angry at her screw-ups a long time ago! And she had actually solved it (mostly) before she called me, which was really cool. She's growing up! :)
Maybe things will slow down this summer...!

Everything's Amazing, Nobody's Happy...
You've seen this video by now, but here it is for posterity anyway. :)

Life is Taking Over...
I love thinking about and writing about the world - but I just don't have time these days. Real like is taking over! So my apologies to my friends who faithfully read this blog - I would like to be more interesting for you!
My current Facebook status bar:
Emily is starting spring break wondering what to do first tomorrow: housecleaning or dissertation or wedding invitations or just go to the office?
Housecleaning: I'm meeting with the realtor tomorrow afternoon, after which I expect to have a pretty significant to-do list with regard to getting the house ready to go on the market next week. The staging lady will help too, but it doesn't take brains to de-clutter - just time!
Dissertation: My literature review - prereq to oral prelims, which precede written prelims, all of which are supposed to be getting done this semester so I can get kicking on the dissertation in the fall... is running a little late.
Invitations: JP and I discovered yesterday that we have different ideas about when wedding invitations should be sent out - I always thought 2 months in advance, he was thinking 4-6 weeks. Bless him, he's on board with trying to get them out this week! (The reception's not until August, so those invitations can wait... :)
Office: Yes, my boss & I have two projects we've decided need to get tackled this week, even though it's spring break. Actually, that's the best time - no other distractions. But I think that's going to have to wait until about Wednesday...
I won't quit blogging completely - I still want to do a more thorough review of the Obama administration with regard to Gen X - but that's it for now.
