Oh February, where have you gone?  I’m admittedly new to blogging, but it seems like 13 days of radio silence is probably a no-no.  Though I’ve had a blast jumping from project to project, I’ve found that once I start to write about it,  much of what we’ve been doing the last two weeks seems so dull compared to the visions ahead.  I mean, we were geared up to write all about foreign foods, strange animals, breaking barriers.  Saturday we scrubbed trim.  Yesterday we cleaned out the pantry.  Tomorrow we’re getting new carpet.  The truth is that it’s been a lot of cleaning and reading, organizing and list making.  It’s all part of the process of preparing to sell this house, moving on from this stage of life, and it’s fair to warn you that taking the next step semi-gracefully (not running away) can be cumbersome.  I am all the more appreciative that I have fun with almost anything we do.
