D-Day Closing in Fast

It's only three more days before I head to Atlanta once again. This time, it's to the airport to meet my English visitor and to help celebrate Little Bit's second birthday while there. If she and big sister are wide open as usual, I have to wonder what kind of impression we will make on a European visitor. Might want to change return date and take the next plane back! :)

Every time I go and have to return here, it's a big letdown but I am looking forward to a trip to Gulfport to visit our mutual friends. I know I will enjoy that and, if the fates are kind, my apartment will be available by then. "Just wishing and hoping and praying..."

Good Start

Had my first CASA interview today. Everything went well and I'm halfway to getting my appointment. Yea!! What a great way to start the week!

Thirty-something Milestone

Well, I just RSVPed for my 15 year high school reunion. We didn't have a five or ten year, so I haven't seen some of my former classmates in quite awhile. It's so strange to think of it having been that long since my big hair glory days :)

I wonder how much I'll have in common with some of them now, if we as a whole have become more compassionate and, I guess, better human beings, as we've gotten older and truly experienced life outside our small town (some of us, anyway), or if we'll just be older versions of our same old high school selves and will revert to those roles in the context of being together again.

Not Exactly

That's not exactly the type excitement I had in mind but I guess it beats nothing. Barely, though. :)

Sorry to Hear about your Dull Weekend

My sympathies for your uneventful weekend. Had you stayed here, you could not only have perhaps created (or participated in) another Olympic event, but chosen from the other fun-filled options: test driving new vehicles in exchange for $225 in gas while hauling two excited children in and out of the vehicles with the equally excited (??) salesperson; hauling a non-spotless, heavily protesting toddler out of a spotless (and expensive) convertible in the showroom; hauling said toddler away from row of candy machines at her eye level in the waiting room while waiting for minivan to have an oil change; having toddler parading around with stuffed frog in her shirt, looking like a miniature Dolly Parton and having the crowded waiting room giggling and pointing.

Another Less Than Wild Weekend

Back in the boonies since yesterday afternoon with another dull-looking weekend ahead. In retrospect, I should have stayed in my son's condo over the weekend or headed back to Thirtysomething's to see if the girls have dreamed up another new Olympic event.

Good and bad news though: The bad news is that the apartment I saw was not what I wanted (as well as being $300 more per month). The good news is that I paid a priority deposit so when one like I want becomes available, I will have first choice on it.

Still hard to comprehend that I've made that first major step towards leaving but if feels good. Just anxious to "get 'er done" now.

Step Out for a Minute...

Darn! I leave for a short time and miss the chance to participate in what might be the most watched Olympic venue in history (if it ever comes to fruition). Day late and dollar short as usual.
