i'm curled up on the couch, enjoying my extra-strong (how'd that happen?) coffee, listening to the call of a rather persistent bird in the weeping cherry of my front yard. each call consists of five short, concise whistles, descending in pitch quickly. he knows what he wants to say, and so he speaks with confidence.
and i'm daydreaming about my garden, which i hope i will be able to plant this spring in my new ginormous backyard. i'm thinking raspberries and blueberries, plus tomatoes and zucchini for my first year. i know i could use all of them, especially in abundance. though, i'm not sure how we'll go about tilling and preparing the soil. and i'd want a little picket fence around the garden plot, with a little gate. oh well, details, details. that's why it's called "daydreaming".
on the reality side of things, i figured out yesterday that i was the bottleneck in the closing process, waiting on W-2s and the like. so we scrambled to get it all together, minus a couple of paystubs we're waiting on from matt's employer. if all the paperwork is in monday, it should be tight, but we'll stand a chance at closing on thursday. i'm just praying that we're the end of the bottleneck (and that his employer doesn't add to the trouble).
yesterday, i finished addressing our "new address" cards for friends and family. i started these the day before we made our first offer (though, i didn't print the address until just this last week). i knew that if i waited, it might never get done, what with all the boxes.
and today, i believe i will be making a big batch of thank you cards, so that as people help us clean, paint, move, etc, we can thank them in good time. later today, matt and i have to organize the music room, which has been used for storage since we were married, and i need to get our piano on craigslist, to make room for a family heirloom i'm receiving when we move in... want a piano?
