We have a house warming here Madd, I'm not going anywhere. If everything goes right I will have an overlap of internet access between the old and the new place. Let's Party!! bounce bounce2

Thanks Ry and yes the project is wrapped up, at least the part that I'm not taking with me. I'm still doing support for my group when it comes to the program, that will never disappear. The new project has started but we are still in the development stage so there's really not a lot to do right now except talk.

Thanks Flame, it will get stressful but that really won't come until closer to moving time. I can't wait biggrin Oh new blankies are sooo good, at least this will distract him long enough for you to eat. wink

Oooh just coz! Those are the best Skully! hug hug

Latest news:

Can I rethink this? Maybe having Madd back isn't such a good idea. wink
I'm not sure I want to KNOW what's in the box.

Gidg runs to the door and pokes her head out into the hall.

Madd! What's in the box?

Flame!!!! hug hug

Actually I'm getting the keys on Friday the 27th so I get to move in the weekend before the first. biggrin

The other exciting news is that Moondoggie is home on leave for eight days. I haven't seen him since last October. *sigh*

Ooooh flags! flags!!! You must get it figured out because I want to see the new flags. I'm still at the drawing board for my new set but I figure that I'll be able to work on it after I move.

hug for you and everyone else.

Oh groan, agonninni. Why do I do things like this to myself? I should know better.

Two weeks, a little less really, to move out day. I made a mistake of looking at my calendar and all I have to say is just shoot me now and put me out of my misery.

What did I discover, way too much.

Let's see, I need to go to the weaving studio to finish my last project and to get on the computer and pull some patterns that I've been designing. All before the 24th when my membership runs out.

I have a baby shower this Saturday and I GET to make the cake. That's going to take Thursday and Friday evening for baking and decorating. Actually I need to make some frosting because the duckies need to dry which means that I really should make them tonight or tomorrow. But I'm going to the studio tonight *sigh*

Did I mention that I still need to move things around in the garage, so that I can get to the cupboards and pack my stuff.

Next Tuesday I HAVE to attend Poly class. Friday I'm taking off from work, picking up my keys at 10:00am, have to be at the apartment, with television and computer for cable connection, between noon and 2:00pm. Now this is where someone can tell me I'm completely out of my mind, because I complete forgot about a show on Friday evening that I'm doing ... 4 hours away! I need to be there by 8:00, if not before because there will be stage makeup and everything else to put on. I don't expect to be out of there until 10:30, at the earliest, which means that I won't be home until sometime around or after 2:00am.

Now have I mentioned that I still need to pack things?

THEN at 9:00am I go pick up the moving van, peeps come over to help me move at 10:00. After we move my stuff from the house to the apartment we go and pick up new furniture for my mom and myself. Unpack her new stuff, go to my apartment and unpack there. All this has to be done by 6:00pm, which is when I need to have the moving van back to the rental agency. Somewhere in there I've agreed to feed everyone that is helping me move.

I think I'm going to go nuts now and just save me the trip in two weeks. Anyone have a straightjacket available. I'll take any color but purple is preferable.

umm But then there was the guy that got in trouble because he tried to ship himself fedex.
