Freaking Out Top Ten

Top Ten Reasons I am FREAKING Out:
10. Boxes everywhere! Seriously! All over the place! In my new house! Big boxes full of stuff I probably don’t REALLY need! And dust! Big boxes full of stuff and DUST! Dear LORD, the dust!
9. I am frantically putting the finishing touches on the PowerPoint I needed to post, like, last week, for the presentation I am giving in Cincinnati NEXT week. And, everyone knows–as Dwight Shrute once said–”PowerPoints are LAME.”
8. I will be leading a session at an industry Expo next week using said heretofore unfinished PowerPoint (see 9).
7. Despite several calls and frantic emails, I still have not been able to successfully register for my GovTrip account.
6. I do not have a travel itinerary for my business trip next week, mainly because I CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY REGISTER FOR GOVTRIP and therefore have not been able to buy my plane tickets.
5. I can’t find my favorite comfy jeans. Because there are BOXES ALL OVER MY HOUSE!
4. My allergies are out of control. Probably because of the dust. You know, in the boxes? All over my house?
3. I’m 99 percent sure I have a room reserved at the conference center in Cincinnati to which I may or may not have transportation. It’s that remaining 1 percent of uncertainty that has me by the short hairs.
2. Speaking of… my previously straightened hair is being completely ornery about all this humidity, and is like “Aw, hell no!” the minute I step out the door. Naturally, my flatiron is no where to be found. YOU know why. Honestly. Don’t MAKE me explain the “Boxes! Boxes Everywhere!” situation again.
1. New houses awesome! Physically moving, however? NOT awesome.
Congrats on the new house. I feel out of the loop not knowing you were moving.
Hey, I didn’t know you were moving either. Are you sticking around the area?
All I have to say is that when you are in Cincy you need to have Grater’s Ice Cream. It will solve all these problems. You may have to walk there and stay in a cardboard box down by the river … but the ice cream may in fact pack your boxes and dust your new house. Or at least after you eat this ice cream you might feel like tackling this issues. My fav flavor- toffee chip!
