year two of homeowner-ness: the lessons

Year two of being a homeowner didn't bring many new, profound lessons with it like my first year of homeownership did.

Tonight is the first night in weeks that I don't have any plans... no meetings, no road trips, no weddings.

And I am so excited! A night to myself to finally catch up on things. There's a ton I want/need to do and I want to do it all--but that's not realistic.

I definitely need groceries. I pride myself in being able to make a meal out of almost nothing... but my fridge hasn't been this empty since I moved in. Even I can't do much with soy milk, cheese, and salsa. First on the list: food.

I am actually looking forward (for once) to mowing my grass. The so-called "lawn" around my house is more like a jungle of dandelions that got out of control while I was away in Calgary and then California. It mocks me every time I pull into my driveway. Tonight I hope to tame it.
