1. our finances
we pay our bills on time. we sent our tax papers off already. so, we're not horrible when it comes to dealing with this stuff. in fact, it wasn't until dabney set foot in ann's life did a system come into existence, but the system could be better. we could finally convert from an excel spreadsheet to quicken. we could finally have a filing system for our bills, so that they no longer languish with the yet-to-be-recycled crate & barrel catalog from october '06.
2. our legal issues
thanks to a friend, mogo got off and running on a healthy legal foot. but beyond that, we haven't taken the steps needed to get our personal legal stuff in order. wills, health care proxy, blah, blah -- that's all on the agenda. today, we took our first step in that direction with the help of this man.
sure, he may look like a pirate, but when he's not in costume, he's an actual lawyer and essential to getting this part of our world in order.
3. our apartment
our apartment is comfortable enough to live in on a daily basis. if you came over for a dinner party, you wouldn't leave with ecoli. we're good at the "surface clean." sure, we could keep living here and theoretically be fine, but soon enough the stuff we cram into every drawer and every closet would eventually just burst. people would wonder why they hadn't seen us in days, week, months, but in reality, they'd just find us and the dog buried under a giant pile of clothes, mail, books and magazines.
being a longtime fan of the website, apartment therapy, ann recently purchased a copy of the same name. not what you'd think it would be, perhaps a coffee table picture book of oh-so-chic flats that just give you a case of envy beyond belief - instead, it's a self-help book of how to "heal" your home by giving it heart, mind, soul. sound new agey? well, we're about to tackle the eight-week "cure." stay tuned for posts on progress (or lack thereof).
