My own place

So I just signed my lease and have the keys in hand to my new apartment. Yeah! Now I can move all those boxes I have packed and since it's so convenient to work I can load up my van in the morning and take it down after work that day. I have pretty much everything I need except a couch so that's great! A friend of mine who's getting married in April is giving away some of her stuff so I'm getting a few things from her as well. And the great part is I live above the rental office/space that they use for show but the rental lady doesn't actually live there. So there won't be anyone below me at night which will nice for when I have people over.
And I have another interview tomorrow morning for the job I applied for so we'll see how that goes. Nothing like changing everything at once!
And just to let those of you who live in the area know...if I've helped you move previously I just might be calling on you to help me. :-)

Bears Superbowl Shuffle

Since I was only 7 when this happened I definitely don't remember it but I think they should do an updated one!! It had me rolling on the floor, especially McMahon with his sunglasses and hat!

And here's an interesting Wikipedia entry:

GO COLTS!

What a great game that was and now we're headed to to the big game! Weehaww!! :-)

Job search

So I just got back from interviewing with Human Resources about a position I applied for and I think it went really well. Of course, it was funny that the lady who interviewed me has only been at the University for a week... I also found it humorous that they wanted to test me on Word and Excel before I went in - uh, I've been here working in Finance for 4 years so I'm pretty sure I'm good on that! And needless to say I passed both tests just fine. :-) So now it's just waiting to see if I get called for a second round of interviews with the actual department.

This weekend I got a bunch of boxes so I think I"ll start packing books tonight since I've got to start sometime and books are the easiest.

I'm also a little tired today cause I didn't get to bed til midnight last night. I was babysitting but I didn't fall asleep this time after the kids went to bed because I brought a book to read instead.
Okay, back to the last 45 minutes of work today. Have a great evening or morning or afternoon- wherever you are!

Apartment search

So I think I've narrowed it down to 2 places from which I'll choose to live the next part of my life. Working in the accounting world as I do, after I was done looking I went home and made an Excel spreadsheet of all the pros and cons. :-) The amount of money I may spend on gas getting to work from one could even out the higher cost of rent at the other one. There aren't that many differences - the main thing would be location, of course. So I'm starting to collect boxes at work and will probably start with my books...gotta start somewhere. If you are in the area reading this and have access to boxes, I'll take them!
Oh, and in fun unexpected news, I apparently have a mouse upstairs in my bathroom - good times! Now to just find the little bugger!

Moving

So I'm moving sometime in February, out of my shared 3 BR, 2 Bath house to a 1 bedroom apartment. It's a ton of work looking at apts but I'm excited to finally live all by my lonesome - I've never truly lived by myself before so it should be a Grand Adventure, as A.A. Milne would say. I've looked at one place and have another appt. Saturday and might just take a day off work next week to look, since most places aren't open on the weekends. Finance wise I wasn't expecting this so soon but that's where my wonderful family comes in!!
And it's good I don't own much so the move should be pretty easy. The place will be quite sparsely furnished but so what? I'll still be having people over to eat at my cardboard table with me I'm sure. I might even put a tablecloth on if it's really important company...

Prosperity Gospel

My sister showed this to me and I was laughing so hard. I particularly liked "Escalade."

NFL Playoff options

So just in case your team doesn't make it through the playoffs here's a little fun to see on who's bandwagon you should jump. I did it twice and got good teams both times with different questions. Have fun, let me know who you get and go Colts!!
