Do you ever do something that you don't
want to do because you have to be a grown up? It's the kind of thing
you don't really like doing, but if you're going to be responsible,
you should do. Well, I did that last night. I went to an estate
planning seminar.
The seminar had been on the calendar
for over a month so I really couldn't ignore it even though I wanted
to. I scheduled another appointment before it secretly hoping that it
might run over and Ward would have to attend by himself. No such
luck. And even as much as I thought about dawdling on the way home
from my other appointment, I couldn't do that in good conscious. So I
went.
We spent 2 ½ hours learning about tax
laws, wills, trusts and probate among other things. It was an
informative presentation, however there were no breaks much to my
disappointment. And the even bigger disappointment was the fact that
there were no cookies for us—only water. :(
I'm proud of myself for doing the first
thing on the grown-up list that we have made. There are too many
things on it for me to look ahead much to see what else I have to do.
One thing at a time. In the meantime, I am going to make sure that I
have my own supply of cookies as a reward for the next thing I do.
Do you have a list of things that
you've been meaning to get to?
