I swear, I’m not as worthless as I look!

I was telling Holly and some others yesterday – it’s hard not to feel like a bum right now. Yeah, I’m trying to be as productive as possible. My tackling of the “honey-do” lists each day has been amazing and a feat to behold. Still, it’s hard not to wake up every day and just look at myself as a bit of a bum. I know, I know, law school is starting any time now. Also, I’m actually still getting paid and still have insurance. Still, waking up and realizing I don’t have a job or school to rush off to, it just feels utterly weird.

This weekend saw the end to one of the longest hunts in history: the hunt for patio furniture is over. Yesterday, Holly and me went to Target and picked out four chairs, a loveseat, and an ottoman/table from the “Parisienne” collection. Seems harmless enough, right? This search has involved visits to every retail chain that “might” sell furniture in the Indianapolis area, my calling at least thirteen Targets in the state of Indiana and two in Illinois, and has caused at least two minor “disagreements” between myself and the Mrs. Needless to say, I am very relieved to have it done and over with. That being said, I did enjoy my coffee and Wall Street Journal out on the loveseat this morning.

Thoughts at the closing bell:

• The Tigers are one game up heading into the All-Star break and just swept the BoSox. That’s a nice place to be at the half-way point.
• “1776″ was an awesome book, and you truly get a sense of just how close we came to being swept right back into the fold of the kingdom.
• Holly is finished with her rotation through the NECU at Wishard. On to outpatient Peds (i.e. “Whining babies with ear aches”)
• Everyone over here seems to think the British are so unaccustomed to terrorisim and that they must be freaking out right about now. Hey, this is the nation that dealt with the IRA long before must of America had even thought about domestic terrorism. They’ll be ok.
• Cindy Sheehan is thinking of running for Pelosi’s spot unless she move to impeach the President. I’m glad Sheehan decided to “leave the spotlight” for so long. They say that the limelight is like a drug: once you’ve had a taste, it’s a hard habit to kick. Looks like her desire got the best of her. Pelosi’s had that seat since 1987, I don’t think she’s too worried.

That’s all for now kids, one love to you all. Holla.
