Well, I’ve had more than one person upset with me today for neglecting my blog. It’s a good problem to have, I suppose. But here’s the thing, y’all. I was trying to spare you all my surliness. I’ve been stressed out, impatient, snippy and basically walking around with “screw you” written across my forehead. And who wants to hear from that person?

This guy at work dared to commit one of my pet peeves today by walking by my cube and saying “Why aren’t you smiling?” Why aren’t I smiling? Do you sit and stare at your computer with a goofy grin on your face all day? Maybe I’m not smiling because people keep walking by and asking me lame questions. See? You haven’t missed much.

So why have I been such a ray of sunshine lately? I guess one of the biggest reasons is that we’ve finally finished the house and put it on the market. And we got an offer the same day. I should be happy, right? This is what I’ve wanted for three years.

I am happy. But now, a whole new set of questions come up. There’s another 9 months on the lease of this tiny apartment. Where am I going to put three bedrooms and two bathrooms worth of stuff? What about the dogs? Where do we go from here? I should know by now that God’s got all of that under control, but I have a short memory, I guess.

So until everything gets sorted out, I guess I’ll just try not to scowl so much and enjoy my summer
