MySpace - Update 7/3/07

Just wanted to write an update since I have kind of disappeared for the last few days.

Friday: Michelle took me to get my U-Haul truck (a mini-mover 10' truck that she called the 'itty bitty baby truck') and we loaded it about 1/3 full of everything that I had pre-packed. I spend the rest of that night breaking down my desk and packing anything else that I could.

Saturday: I woke up at 5:30 and kept packing and loading the truck, Michelle came back over at 9-ish and soon after Justin texted me that his plane had landed (a half hour early). Unfortunately their baggage check was taking a ridiculously long time so we ended up circling the airport for about an hour until his bag came out and we could leave. Michelle had to go get her mom (she just had major surgery and was being released to an assisted care facility for her rehab), so we said our goodbyes and Justin and I kept moving. Tigger was the last thing moved from the apartment to the truck after I had cleaned as much as I could, and we hit the road at 2:45pm. I had to stop and cancel my UPS Store mailbox and we ate before leaving to start the long, long drive. Tigger did really well this first day, meowing for only about 5 minutes before laying down and falling asleep (if you have ever moved a cat across the country before you know how rare this is). Long story short, we got into the hotel in Cameron, MO at about 9:30pm, went and got Taco Bell and brought it back to the room (where Tigger the fearless was bouncing around touching and smelling everything like a pro) and hit the hay.

Sunday: Slept in, got up around 8:00 and had some continental breakfast at the hotel. Turned in our keys and left again. Tigger wasn't too happy about a 2nd day of this silliness and he let me know it for about an hour and a half (until we were through Kansas City). We had to slow down for some rain that cleaned off the trucks but we apparently missed the really bad storms they were having down here. We only stopped once to break and put air in my leaky tire and made it the rest of the way, got here about 3pm Central. We unloaded my U-Haul, then my truck (the TVs, dishes and computer went in my truck) and Tigger the fearless was again at the task of smelling everything and letting us know about corners where the carpet was loose and the cable guy did a lousy install.

We've been unpacking since, had to go over to his old apt and get his big furniture and clean the place (although I'll admit that I slacked on the cleaning because I had to clean my own place!) We already have internet, he got that installed the day before coming up so this room was set up first, quickly followed by getting all of the dishes put away in the kitchen. Justin goes back to work today so I'm going to get as much done as possible in-between the few things that I have to venture out to do. Wish me luck!

I know most of them will never read this but I need to shout out thanks to Michelle for all of her emotional support and other help during the last few months, it's meant the world to me. Thanks to my mom and step-dad as well for financing my move! I couldn't have done it without them. Also thanks to Jenni for always responding to my texts about where we were! ;) I've missed her lately since she hasn't been at the computer much so it was nice to hear from her along the way. And of course, thanks to my lovely fiance for putting up with me (and Tigger) along the way and being my shoulder to lean on even when he was too exhausted to move.

That's it for now!! :)

MySpace - Update 5/12/07

Figured I would throw an update here while I'm stuck at work for another 2 hours.

My foot is healing, I'm going to keep it wrapped up at least until I go down to Springfield on the 23rd - and I'll probably keep it wrapped for the drive. I'm walking without the crutches, I've learned how to walk so as to not use the ouchy part. My left leg is getting pretty sick of overcompensating though, I've been drinking water like a fish to avoid a charlie horse. I'm still not sure how I hurt my foot and not my ankle, but I guess that will remain a mystery.

I started packing up last weekend, I'm going to try to keep going as my foot allows - not really much to pack. (That's a VERY good thing.) I need to get over to Jer's and get the last of my stuff (extra car mats, one piece of luggage.. that miscellaneous stuff. AND the last of my dishes!!). I am pretty positive that I'm not going to fill the U-Haul.. but I have to get one because of my huge mattress. The things we do for love! (The love of my mattress, of course.) I'm helping Michelle move this coming Friday so that will be a good practice run for me.

I'm going down to Springfield for a week over the holiday, to look at places to live and hopefully get one and I made an appt at the temp agency in town that got me my job here at Thomson. I am planning a productive trip this time, I swear!! We'll probably go see Spiderman 3 as well.

Ummmmm what else.

10 or so people have applied for my job, so I hope we can hire someone by the start of June so that I have enough time to train them. I have to get my documentation (notes) all finished too, I've been a slacker about that lately.

I went shopping with Michelle last weekend and bought some new clothes and now I'm jonesing for more. Evil shopping!

I got the DVD in my blog (Pirates of the Caribbean 2) with my Coke Rewards points!! AWESOME!! Kind of funny since I won the first movie in a Disney sweepstakes. I told Justin that I'm sure to get #3 for free as well but now I've probably jinxed it.

Gilmore Girls is ending! I CRY!! :( I will now be forced to just watch the DVD sets over and over like when Buffy and Angel ended. So sad. At least I have 'The Office', 'Bones', and 'Criminal Minds' to keep me busy until the executive jerks cancel those as well.

For my birthday I want new clothes and a flash drive. That's about it.

Peace out (as we used to say back in the day) and ttyl!

MySpace - Update 4/6/07

I'm bored. Epic-ly bored.

I'm going to see 'The Reaping' with Michelle tomorrow afternoon and then go out for dinner, that will be fun! We went out to Noodles & Co. for lunch and it was so nice to get out of here for a little while. We just have nothing going on this week and finishing most of my projects has left me sleepy and slack-ish.

I love my new phone. I switched to Cingular (ported my number - so that's the same) so that Justin & I would have free M2M. Plus they have rollover! Awesomeness. It's about the same price I was paying for half of the T-Mobile shared plan but I get like 200 free text/pic messages a month plus rollover minutes. AND I got a new phone. Which is the point of all this. It's a navy blue RAZR. I was || close to getting a new KRZR but the extra $80 in my pocket was more inviting. Ordered it from BB online, worked pretty well even though their support sucks butt.

Tigger's been scratching the heck out of me, I've currently got 2 big ones healing on my back and a big one across my wrist/hand. They're all accidents but it's making me think seriously about setting up regular appointments to have his claws trimmed and filed at a groomer. Used to seem a little too prissy (even for me), but I think it's going to have to happen if he's going to keep those things.

I have like 350 Coke Rewards Points that I don't know what to do with. I wonder when it ends.

Justin pulled/tore a muscle in his leg. Ouch. :( I wish he could come up here or I could go down there but it's just not the right time for me with work. Boo. I think I'm going to go nuts if I have to wait until Memorial Day.

I got a new power supply and DVD burner for my computer. They are awesome. (The exhaust fan had died in my other power supply)

I'm hooked on 'Heroes'. Back on April 23rd. Can't wait!! Also, 3 months until the new 'Harry Potter' movie. omgz!

I've been really bad about correspondance lately - with friends, family, pretty much everyone. Sorry about that. Don't know why it's happened but I blame my kitten's need to play every 10 minutes. And being poor.

It's cold again. Freaking cold. It needs to warm up so I can stop paying to heat my place. Not hot, because I don't have A/C... but I am sick of the cold and it needs to go away now. kk?

I had to renew my registration and my new tab stickers are blue. They match my license plate. I like them.

I need to go grocery shopping after work, I'm completely out of pretty much everything. Boo. Come with me.

WoW: We hit level 70 and I just got my Spellfire Tailoring quest done this morning. Super fun. Flying mounts are teh ubar. I really like the new expansion stuff and hope to get to start doing dungeons soon.

That's about it. Ttyl.

MySpace - Update 3/22/07

My weekend started on Friday morning at about 9:45 when I left work and started the 8 1/2 hour drive to Springfield. It was blowing snow and 30 degrees when I left for my fairly uneventful drive (except for rush hour in Kansas City - ick!) and about 60 degrees and sunny when I arrived in Springfield greeted with hugs and kisses.

We didn't do much - none of the big plans that we had actually came through except for eating birthday cake. (I made him a cake! And it was good!)

Our weekend was mostly spent sleeping, snuggling, watching movies, shopping, going to see '300', eating and a little bit on the computer. We added 22 movies to our growing collection due to Best Buy sales and the Wal-Mart 5.50 bin, reinstalled Windows on Justin's machine due to evil Chinese WoW hackers and had our share of fast food.

Not really much to say other than it was a needed time off from everyday life for the both of us.

Tigger missed me, but my co-worker Michelle checked in with him twice to make sure he had food, clean litter, and mousie toys and he loves his Auntie Shell. He was a snugglekins when I got home and just wanted to snuggle and play until crashing next to my pillow where he slept like a good boy until 1 am when it was time to touch my face and wake me up for kitty kisses. (This is when he gets ejected from the room.)

That is all, I am back at work struggling to get back on track and catch up. Agh! And paying bills, and I need to get groceries on my way home. Agh! It's a good thing that tomorrow is pay day.
