Closing Day!


I know, I know. I didn't blog yesterday. Every room in our townhouse looks like the picture to the left. It was the first day that I haven't since I started this. I was hoping to, but the internet was down at home, and since I was packing yesterday and I had already wasted a half hour on the phone with some half-wit at AT&T, I hung up on him, packed the computers up, and kept packing.

Today's a big day. It's 10:12am and I've just completed the first of my two Final Exams today. The one I just finished was the stressful one... the one that quite frankly, decided my fate between passing and failing, and in turn graduating in 2007 or 2009. Quite the big deal.

I hit a HOME RUN on it. Seriously. Anything less than a 99% and I'm taking him to the woodshed. So, I have a HUGE weight off of my shoulders.

Next up, a second exam.. and go ahead and laugh. It's my voice class, and I have to perform "I Move On" from the musical Chicago, and "Danny Boy".. you know, that old song from England. Needless to say, it's going to be.. interesting. Once that's done, I go sign the paperwork, and get the keys to our house.. oh, and drop off a check for $16,000 or something to go with the $10,000 we've already written a check for. Stress.

So, keeping the blog on the topic of health, thank you VERY much to those of you who replied to the last one. I just checked for the first time in a while, and with a day like this, those replies were well received. They gave me a pick-me-up for the rest of the day. There's a ton of work, and the next few weeks are going to be fun and difficult all at the same time, but it's good to know that I've got you guys to get my back, and keep on me when I need the strength. It helped a ton today.

Ok, so off I go. I probably won't blog tonight, and depending on how the move goes and if the internet connection is actually up tomorrow like they said it will be at the new place, I may or may not blog tomorrow. But know that I'm busting my tail, and my head is back where it needs to be.

Thanks, folks. Catch you soon.

I laughed when you mentioned you hung up on the AT@T person. Good stuff.

Ok, so I could get on here and accuse you of slacking in the blogging department, however, I know how freakin' busy you and Erin are right now, so I'll lay off.
Sounds like the 1st final went well...good for you. As for the voice one? Hmmm...can't remember the last time I heard you sing. Thinking it was about a year ago during a karaoke event, but I am certain (only because I have pictures to remind me) that I was waaaaay to intoxicated to be able to determine if I should be laughing right now or not. So, I'll just say I hope it all went well!
And I have to tell you...."dropping off" a $16,000 (or something) check would be more than enough to send me straight into a stress-induced, chocolate eating frenzy. So good for you for taking it all in strides and moving forward! I'm sure you busted your ass today with moving and all.
Keep truckin' through all this, and know that even when you're not blogging, you've got a friend (actually many of them), thinking of you and cheering you on!
