I just watched my last shuttle launch from my back yard.  Of course, I was totally looking in the wrong direction when it started…….lol

I know, I know……….I’ve been horrible here. =( I just haven’t felt like writing with as busy as I have been.

Well, the house is nearly packed. It is crazy……all full of boxes. I’m here in the bedroom, I just had to get out of the office for a little while.

We had a corporate visit Wednesday. It went very well. I even got a hug from my district boss with an offer for any references or recommendations that I need. That was so cool.

I had friends over from work for a bbq last Thursday. Started later then I thought but it was fun. I had folks show up that I wasn’t sure would, so that just tickled me pink. Unfortunately, some of us got eaten up by bugs. My legs have bites all up and down them….icks.

After that day I was really able to start on some of the packing…..it is hard sometimes. I just look at it and want to scream…I don’t know where to begin sometimes. I really, really hate the disorganization of it. Drives me crazy. There is all these little things that need to be put together….then the clothes…icks! I keep trying to minimize and it just doesn’t work…..

I had a very cool encounter with a customer Friday. Found out that she was visiting from Alaska and that she knew my old orchestra teacher from 7-9th grade! Talk about a small world. I gave her my info so she can give it to him. That just tickled me pink………….grin

I’m the type that never really associates with people that work with me, much less for me outside of work. I’m always concern about crossing that line and inviting more issues. I’ve always been a loner even though I love spending time talking with people. But with me only have a couple of more days and I had stepped down over the month that I figured why not. =) So I went and meet a few co-workers for pool Saturday night. Of course, I sucked at it…….I’ve only played maybe 3 other times in my life. But it was cool.

Today proved that it was Monday…….ggrrrr I’ve been hearing noises from the front of my truck and Harold from the exhaust. I knew there was no way in hell that it was going to be cheap…..but it ended up a hell lot more then I expected………about $1000 more…….a total of $1903! What timing…..I can’t even spell out everything that needs to be done. The parts aren’t that much, but the labor…..

Well, it won’t be done until Wednesday…..just in time for Harold to take it to Portland Thursday. So we had to get the rental car a few days earlier. The good thing is that AAA membership gave us a discount so we didn’t have too much more. =)  Brooke was a sweetie and took me to the rental car place.  She was a life saver.  =)
I got some more packing done today, entered our receipts (less to carry later) and spent a ton of time on the phone getting utilities hooked up out in Oregon and unhooked here Florida. But I think I got everything, except the gas & cable/internet in Oregon. Those can wait until we actually get there.

My brain just died…………lol So I guess I can close.

ps……I want my football season to start!!!!
