T minus 15

Man, let me tell you, there is nothing like packing and unpacking everything you own a couple of times a year to make you seriously reconsider the value of all the stuff you have. Tim and I both are very tidy people, but we also have a tendency to put things in drawers, or in the attic, and once it's out of sight, it's completely out of mind. Our attic is a disaster. We'll get around to cleaning that out this winter, it's something like 5,000 degrees in an attic in central Texas in the spring/summer/fall, and well, fuck that. We are 15 days from the tenants move in date (counting today, because it's still morning-ish). It sank in a bit, last night, that soon I won't be going to bed here, which is sad... but it also sank in that soon I'll be going to bed in my trailer in the woods, which is fantastic. I'm trying to just focus on what needs to be done here, but I'm starting to get really excited! Havoc's birthday was on Friday the 13th this year. I made him pancakes for breakfast, extra syrup courtesy of Daddy and Tio. His buddy Miles came over for a play date. After nap time, we went and got sno-cones, and went to Gus Fruh on the green belt where Havoc threw lots of rocks into the creek and did some wading, while we caught up with an old friend of the guys' who just happened to be in town. Chili dogs for dinner! All in all, I think we worked out a basically perfect birthday for a 2 year old.

Last night was the annual craw fish boil, which was awesome as usual! The highlight of the evening, for me, though, wasn't the delicious mud bugs, or visiting with all our awesome friends (though y'all are pretty awesome!)... I had left my very most favorite cheap ass Target sunglasses at the green belt the other day, and Erik found them and rescued them for me! Hooray for friends who understand that cheap doesn't mean unloved! There is a hefty, uh, gentleman, walking up and down my street this morning carrying what appears to be a child's sized golf club. Good morning, East Austin!
