Resolution update

Today is Lunar New Year and my birthday is tomorrow.  I have school on Saturday and a Super Bowl shindig on Sunday.

My apartment is a mess again.  I just cleaned it last week. I hope the Lunar New Year gods don't smite me.

Where do I begin…These few weeks have been stressful again as we’re anticipating the closing of escrow (when we officially own the house and get keys) on Friday.  Small errors and ridiculous requirements set by the bank (the seller of the house) and the escrow company has delayed closing for almost a month.  I’m tired of talking the damn process already.

After spending an hour signing our lives away on Monday, we find out that the escrow company doesn’t like checks.  We will have to wire it.  Who does that? Isn’t that something from the movies? To offshore accounts? We’re sending it to LA only.

On to lighter brighter things!  Before this house thing took over my life, I made some resolutions.  Resolutions I have yet to start working on.  Well, I did try a few new things in the wardrobe area, but since I didn’t document it.  It doesn’t count.

Let's revisit.
  1. Yoga -My favorite yogi doesn't teach on Sundays any more.  The next most convenient time he teaches are on Thursdays, but it's during dinner time.  I know it's a bad excuse, but this watching our finances until the house closes thing I've been doing have kept me away.
  2. Crafts - I tied a bow on my narcissus plant to keep it from falling over.
  3. MPA -I logged in a total of 2 hours of project time, but still no topic.  Only have 98 more hours to go.
  4. Style - I bought heeled boots.  Still a little afraid to wear them.  Reconsidering this "jeggings" trend.
  5. Finance - I looked at a few sites.  I keep telling myself that I will look seriously into this category once the house closes and I regain some disposable income.
  6. Camera - Found out the BIL fried 4 of 5 batteries.  I'm waiting for R to buy me more.  And waiting for free time to come around so that he can teach me how to use it.
So there. I'm a big FAIL on my resolutions.
