1. Eric should close on his house today, unless something weird happens. I am not going to assume anything until it is his considering how long this has taken to happen. He started this process in October last year.

2. I am feeling the need to declutter. Last night I went through my old mail art box and pulled out all the stuff that I thought Jens could use for his class room. I have a lot of stickers, colored pencils and random supplies. I also pulled out a half finished knitting project and knit backwards for three rows to fix my mistake. If I could remember the pattern I would finish it off and get rid of the last of my needles. I am pretty sure a lot of this has to do with the fact that Eric is going to be packing up his stuff in a few months to move into his new place and I really don't know what I have.

3. Remember the couple that we went to Korea to see their wedding? Well, they are having a baby pretty soon and Jong-Hyeoun's mom is in town to help. My parents are having them over for dinner one day this week and it will be nice to see her.

4. I am trying to use up all my oatmeal and tea at work before I buy more. I figure this will take a couple weeks.

5. My mom bought me a TV stand at an Ikea sale last weekend. Now I really want Eric to move out so I can set it up. The only problem is then I would have to buy a tv.

6. I am on the fence about getting a new car. I don't think my car is clunky enough for the cash for clunkers bill and despite [livejournal.com profile] gwangi's fears I don't think it is in that bad of shape. I'll have the shop look at it with the next oil change and see what is wrong with it. I really like not having a car payment.

7. I NEED TO WORK ON MY BATHROOM SOON. I just need to get the motivation.

8. I also need to pack for Montana. This week is so busy!

I've been trying to use up our oatmeal, too, before Raymond and I move. Actually, I've been trying to eat up anything in the pantry, no matter how smooshed back on the shelf it is! I have candy-covered fennel seeds in there, for crying out loud. Here's the breakfast I've been making a lot lately...

Peachy-keen oatmeal:

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cardamom
1/4 tsp. ginger powder
1/2 Tb. butter
1-2 Tb. brown sugar
1/2 peach, diced into cubes
a few pecans

Cook the oats, remove the heat from the oats and stir in the seasonings, fruit and pecans. Tastiness!

I usually double it for my husband to have some, too (and to use a whole peach.)
