Titles

This is year of many new ones for me. By the end of the year, I will have many titles I have never had before.

  • Attorney at Law (technically I am an attorney now, just an unlicensed one).
  • Mom
  • Homeowner...and today I am officially this one!

Now that the house belongs to us, I really want to be in it NOW. I didn't realize I would feel so elated about it...I thought it would be no big deal to just wait the one extra month. But I guess I underestimated myself in a couple ways --

  1. I am possessive about stuff that belongs to me and sometimes don't like to share and
  2. I have no patience whatsoever and have zero capacity to wait for things or to let things come in stride.

People who don't have the 2 aforementioned characteristics are...Europeans. I mean, sure Norway rules in a lot of ways, but I could never live there. They all like sharing and don't mind waiting. Good thing the Lunds came over on the boat to the land of enough property for everyone and instant gratification.

In short, I am a homeowner now and I like this new title.
