So, what if tomorrow really is the end of the world? What are you planning to do today, tonight? As much as I would love to take the end seriously, I don’t have time to call everyone I love and tell them how much they mean to me. Although, with the time difference, it could work. I am purging our house of stuff I don’t want to pack up and move back to California, and then taking my sons to the elementary school carnival this evening. I am selling spirit wear t-shirts and working the ticket sales booth. I’m really good at simple math.
This seems like a fine time to take stock of what’s important and what’s not. Beyond family and friends, there isn’t much else that I worry about leaving behind and since I can’t pack any living thing except the dog and cat, I am focusing on the actual stuff I need to deal with. I’ll spare you an ode to perfect wine glasses and rantings about the stinky odd-shaped bean bags I hate and limit it to these 10:
Important
1. Photos
2. Art
3. Expressions of love the boys have given me over the years including but not limited to: cards, paper flowers, macaroni necklaces
4. Keepsake jewelry
5. Excellent fitting clothes
Not Important
1. Floral delivery vases
2. Terrible books I was suckered into buying that I didn't read, nor ever will read
3. Wonderful books I have read but not wonderful enough to ever read again
4. Clothes that make me look fat
5. Clothes that make me look like a man
Well, if I burn up tomorrow, please know that I love you and appreciate that we shared this one final blog entry together.
Ummm, moving back to California????
