Opening My Eyes

I've always considered myself to be a pretty observant person.  I don't notice everything, but I often notice things that others don't.  Then something happens that makes me realize how wrong I am.

I present to you exhibit A:

Do you see the little red circle?  This is my winter coat that I got in December.  That is a fairly large envelope holding the spare button hanging from the side seam.  Would you like to know when I found it?  Last week.  Crazy, right?  How could I not notice that?  Just wait, it gets worse.

I present to you exhibit B:

I have been wearing these pants for a year now.  The little tag-holder piece of plastic is much smaller, but I've been WEARING my pants for a YEAR!  I found this little friend about 3 days after I found my button envelope.

A normal person would have cut it right out.  But I didn't.  I'm not sure why.  It's like I am attached to my little pants friend who I just met.  Yeah, I probably need to get out more.

In other news, I'm packing.  Hod and I are moving in with my parents for a month.  We have to be out of our apartment on the 31st.  Hod is working basically 30 hours a week, and going to school full time.  And, can I just share, some of the teachers here are crazy!  Hod has one specific class, that is 2 credits.  Now in a normal world, that would mean from that class you could expect 4-6 hours of homework a week.  Nope.  This teacher expects you to devote 12 hours a week to their class.  This all means that Hod is crazy busy, and that Paily is doing all of the packing.  We have SO MUCH STUFF!!!!  When Hod and I got married and moved up here, we were super busy.  We didn't sort through all of our belongings, so we are doing it now.  Busy, busy Paily.
