Technology:1 Raych:0

Its about time for me to brush the dust off this poor, neglected blog.  It’s not my fault.  All my technological devices conspired against me.  
They must have known that Husband is out of town.  
I almost forgot how to use a computer since I haven’t had one to use in almost a month.  
Don’t worry, I’m not going to regale you with all the happenings of the last 3 weeks. (there isn’t much to tell, truth be told)
For your convenience, I have put the last few weeks of my life in bulleted form.  
You’re welcome.
Normal, sarcastic, picture laden blogging will resume tomorrow.
– Our house is now for lease.  Selling was making both of us crazy.  (mostly me) My impatience is at an all time high.  
– We’ve had 2 showings since the house has been for lease.
– I got insanely excited for each of those showings and convinced myself that we’d be in NYC by the end of the week.  
– I came home after each of those showings to find that someone had used our small bathroom.  I don’t know about you guys but that just weirds me out.  
– Then, I convinced myself that these people had used our bathroom because the second the lookie loos walked through our door they fell madly in love with our house and felt the need to mark their territory so to speak.  Or as my mom said, they were testing the plumbing.  
– Neither of those showings garnered a lease.  obvs. Cuz I’m still here. Wasting away in the God awful heat of Houston.
– I’ve sold 90% of our furniture.  I have the couch I’m sitting on, the bed I sleep in, the TV and the stand it sits on.  That’s about all that’s left.  Its really naked in here.  (can you say cart before the horse?)
– Husband has ordered an insane amount of electronics.  He bought me a tablet for blogging (blogger hates tablets fyi).  That tablet happened to be defective.  I didn’t notice this until I tried to upload pics and the tablet corrupted all but 14 of the pics.  After that little nightmare, Hubs found a nice point and shoot camera for hardly anything.  (hell hath frozen over I tell you).  Then, when the (new, non corrupt) tablet and blogger started hating each other again, Hubs found me this lovely refurbished mac book.  Now my technology dreams have come true. 
– I have watched You’ve Got Mail no less than a dozen times.  That movie is like self inflicted torture.  I watch the neighborhood I should be living in while drinking wine and eating cheese and chocolate only because I don’t want to  buy a ton of groceries.  God forbid I have extra food when our house leases (any minute now…)
– I went to Ikea and picked out all of our furniture for our (non-existent) NYC apt.  I know that I’m almost 30 and I should buy grown up furniture, but Ikea will deliver as much stuff as we want from their Brooklyn store to our new apt for $90.  I’m sorry but that’s all I need.  No heavy lifting for me = sold.  
I’m officially old.  Its 9:26 PM and I am falling asleep as I type this.  Apparently, this blogging thing is challenging my brain.  
I’m out of practice.
