Man, it's so loud in here...
I'm being naughty and breaking the "no internet at work!" rule. Shhhh. Don't tell.
Is it just me or is time flying faster than ever? It's already almost Easter. When did that happen?
Chicago news: still hate it. Although now that the move-date is coming faster, I'm starting to like it again in a "gosh, I'll miss my neighborhood hobo peeing on our dumpsters every morning," or "Oh, CTA, how I'll miss you always finding a way of making me 20min late for work on really important days," kinda way. You know, sentamental things like that. I also gave my resignation (finally) to iRi. They were not pleased. But, what can you do? It's not like I really did all that much while I lived here. Sheesh.
Indy news: Still waiting to hear back about my transfer status w/Omax. Getting way nervous now. I don't know if I have it in me to start looking for a job all over again in a strange place. Frank and I are going apartment hunting this weekend while I'm there. Looking for a two-bedroom, so we can have a game room/office area (between the two of us, we have 5 different game systems, and he wants to hook it all up into this massive entertainment thing. I said: whatever.). Between Indianapolis and Frankfort, probably, since we'll both have to commute. And hopefully we'll be able to get a puppy:)
Move news: Yeah, see, I've never moved across state before, and it's a little bit odd thinking about things like declaring myself a citizen of a different state than which I was born and raised. Having to get a new liscence. Although, really, Indiana is just like Illinois, only there's no gigantuan city sucking up the state's population. It's like Illinois Lite. Also, I've never really "moved" except from college to home to college to my apt. Which is not the same as moving from apt to apt in another place. Not quite sure how this is going to work. I've already started packing, though, and I went through and got rid of about half my wardrobe (is anyone else going WTF?) that I don't need, wear, or want anymore. Frank helped - he was more than happy to. He's a pretty minimal guy - a few t's, some jeans, and his work outfit and he's happy. Um. Me, not so much.
The worst/funniest/oddest part is that I still haven't told my parents.Not that I'm seeing anyone, not that I'm moving, and definetely not that I'm moving in with my other in another state. I don't think that conversation will go well. It's just a theory.
Am I dreaming? Am I asleep?
ETA: Oops, guess I typed too fast. My parents do know that I'm seeing someone (Frank), but they don't know I'm moving to Indiana to be with him. Sorry to give ya a heart attack, Vive ;)

You get to toss out stuff, clean stuff, see what you *have* and organize things. And then you get to find new places for your favorite old stuff!
You should compare with Frank about things like kitchen ware and such like. If you *both* have blenders, choose which is the nicest and give the other one to Goodwill or something, you know? That way you won't have tons of *things* just lying around, taking up space.
And label your boxes! At the very least put a 1, 2, 3 on them and then make a list in a notebook that 1 is - dishes, towels, cups - or whatever. So much easier to get to the essentials that way.
And good on you, weeding out the clothes! Less is more. Heh.
Good luck, bay-bee! You'll do fine, i just know it. And hey - new license means a chance to take a good picture! My license has a horrible picture, and it won't be renewed for like - six years.
Meep!

I belong to the school that suggests one present such events as faits accompli (?) to parents. Once you're there, moved in, have a new job...what are they gonna do? Try to talk you out of it. I agree with your decision to wait.
What kind of dog would y'all get?
