The big move is coming closer and closer. Well, not the big move, I guess. The moderate move is coming closer. The moderate move, precursor to the big move. I am finding that buying a new TV is stressful. Not like before, before I would look at TVs, and delighted in taking my time, finding the best picture for the best price, enjoying the search. As soon as you tack a deadline on that, even if it is ~38 days, it takes the fun out of it. Now I can't wait for the perfect deal, I have to find a TV and I have to find it soon. Also concerning is the configuration of the new living room. Not incredibly conducive to a standard viewing setup, let alone a 5.1 system. I know I'll make it work, but it will take all my craft and wit, jammed into the next 38 days. I still haven't called Giovanni to see if they've laid the carpet yet, and, if they haven't, if I can lay some flat speaker wire before they do. The problem there is that I am still uncertain of where things will sit. I mean, I have an idea, but that may change, and then I am left with useless, expensive. flat speaker wire. Sigh!
Still very excited about the new place, too, so that helps. It's interesting to not be able to sleep because I am preoccupied with plans for the new desk, rather than not sleeping because I can't It's still no fun, but it's definitely interesting.
This is such a blog post.
What's happened to me?
Also, I'm fixated on the idea of learning the guitar. The problem with this being that I only really like the look of one guitar. The Gibson SG, king of all guitars. Now, I know I'm not getting a Gibson, because I have <$2000 to spend on a guitar. Epiphone, a Gibson sister company, makes gorgeous replica SGs that are actually affordable. I would still like to play the violin as well, and the piano. I wish I hadn't been such an idiot when I was younger, and pursued my musical training, rather than abandoning it. I want to appreciate the music I listen to for more than just the basic sound. I want to understand it, and to be a part of it, even if it's only for myself. I would also like to take a stab at songwriting. It's hard to sing and play a violin at the sang time. As well, I doubt my ability to sing well, believe it or not. Well, things will work themselves out in the end. they have a way of doing that.

you obsess over the smallest details, just RELAX!!!! Sometimes life cannot be planned down to the most minute detail. If you move again, how will you get all that speaker wire out? I know you're excited about the move and it is nice to have a plan, but believe me, after living with the King of Rearranging for 14 years, I've learned to just "go with it" and nothing is set in stone, they can always be changed and moved and altered. Get some sleep!
Or... you could watch HGTV and get lots of good ideas. Or... you could just "go with the flow" as Holly says...Or... you could just wait until you move in and let the place speak to you. I used to let my animals tell me their names. But then I started to get pre-named companions and that sort of simplified life.
