I'm sitting here eating a huge bowl of spaghetti for lunch. I made entirely too much, and I really should save at least half of it, but I'm hungry...so I'll probably eat it all.
It's mixed with lemon-infused olive oil, garlic, tuna, peas, dill, fresh pepper, and parmesan cheese. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. At least it's well-balanced pasta.
Too foggy to go out today. It's pretty nasty...at least as bad as it was a couple of days ago.
But that's okay. I've been mostly hermitic this week anyway. Lance gave me the task of going through one of the cabinets in the dining room today...this is pretty much our catch-all cabinet...with junk drawers and barbecue utensils and workout equipment. Stuff like that. So I'm tossing stuff in a big garbage bag right now. Some stuff, I'm not sure about, so I have to ask him when he gets home. He also wants me to make a price list of what we're going to sell. Although it seems we have a buyer for the big dresser/hutch thing that's in the guest room. One of Lance's co-workers is interested in buying it. Shoot, for $10 (plus free delivery), who wouldn't want to buy it? It's been great for storing our linens for the past few years (and guidebooks, because I used the hutch top like a bookshelf). Who cares if it's particle board? It functions just fine...and it's a good temporary piece to have (and has also been part of several households here in Germany...so we're just passing it on to the next one).
This co-worker is also sponsoring someone who is about to come into this area, so we should be able to unload some stuff that way too. Hooray! (And perhaps my car...*hope hope hope*).
Talked to our real estate agent last night...well, Lance did. I didn't. I haven't actually spoken with him yet. But he asked Lance several questions about me, so it's not really necessary for him to talk to me anyway. I'll see him in a couple weeks. Anyway, he said we're coming at a good time. There are lots of houses for sale, and nobody's buying. And that seems pretty obvious to us, because there have been pretty drastic price drops on some of these places...so houses that were once outside of the realm of possibility are now doable. Plus, we're pre-approved, so if there are multiple offers put on the table, ours is likely to be the one chosen. I'm so glad my husband is a financial whiz. ;) He is actually thinking about minoring in Finance. Although I think he should major in that instead and have IT as his minor...after all, he's already well-trained on computers.
Now...I'm trying to plan out meals for the next several weeks (minus the one we spend in Seattle) that requires as many pantry items as possible. After all, we cannot take food with us. Since I have some super expensive, amazing balsamic vinegar that needs using up, I am going to make this next week. I already have everything required in the recipe except the chicken. Lance hates vinegar though (although I think balsamic is a bit different from other vinegars), so I'll probably cut down on the amount of balsamic and use a bit of chicken broth. And I'm cooking it in the slow cooker. I've cooked with balsamic before and he didn't freak out about it, so it should be fine.
