The Cheesecake Factory

Had a nice lunch with a friend at the Cheesecake Factory today. Caught up on things with my friend, exchanged pictures, etc. Sophia and Alissa came along, and we walked around in the mall afterwards looking mostly at shoes. I love shoes, and I've passed this fascination along to my girls. Got a Ron Jon Surf Shop shirt for Alissa and a little tin sign we can hang in our new house that says 'Ron Jon Blvd'. I hope we won't miss the beach too much. I've lived in Florida my whole life, oh, and come to think of it, my kids are natives, too. I gotta say, though, the number of times I've been to the beach in the last five years could probably be counted on one hand. Stream of consciousness...OMIGOD-I DON'T HAVE A CLOSE DATE SET IN STONE YET FOR THE HOUSE WE ARE BUYING IN NY!! Our attorney, yes, attorney-closings of properties in NY are handled by attorneys, told me in an e-mail that he sees no problems with the close date being on July 11. I think the attorney is tired of me asking if the date is set yet. I slept poorly again last night. I really hate things being so unsettled. Hopefully all will go well and we will close on July 11 and two weeks from now I will be blogging from my home in NY, and I can just settle down. Spaz. Ok, better go now, gotta run to Publix and get some beer so we can have our neighbor over and we can talk and have a few too many and say our good-byes.
