In the New Land!

Can you believe it dear readers? Two entries in less than two weeks - wow! All 3 or so of you should be shocked and amazed, hehe ;-p. So moving out of one place and into another a day later is complete! Yay! Well, I guess I shouldn't say complete, because I have tons of unpacking to do, but hey. And shame on my brother for tattling to our Pop that his daughter had been blogging away when she should have been packing, hehe.

So ya, moving out was a several hour process. My peeps arrived and my Dad immediately came down to ask if I had done anything. I showed him my car, which was just about filled to the BRIM, and he asked, "Was all of this stuff in your closet?!?!" Ummm...ya....hehe.....I am a stuff whore. I am seriously never allowed to buy anything AGAIN! But dude - I so have a stuff addiction! I just need to transfer it to only buying stuff for other people, hehe.....I'm just a consumer, I like to buy.

When all was said and done there were three cars, two with seats removed or set down, moving me out of my sublet. Ya, three. Seriously. And the only place I had stuff was pretty much in my room! But it was good - the roommate there was a really good guy =-). Yay for non-psycho strangers that you find online! So my Love Lobster was rocking shotgun in my car and the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile pillow was doing so in the car my pop was driving. Perfect.

And the next day we managed to whittle it down to only two cars, because this place is furnished. One of my coworkers came over today and was floored by how much crap I had.

The new place is NIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCEEEEE!! Hell ya baby boy!! I scored the Master Bedroom and have a huge fricking bathtub and a lovely and enormous closet - WOOHOO!!! Yay for big baths and big closets!! Hot damn! My one little Pirate Devil Rubber Duckie looks lonely in such a big space. And I LOVE the floorplan of the apt.! Each room is on opposite sides of the living/dining room areas, so if someone is up for hours listening to music, ain't no thang!! Woohoo! Ya baby!!

Speaking of music, I FINALLY found some of my Remy Zero, which I have been searching for for ages, and I am stoked because those boys rock! I hate it when groovy groups break up, but supposedly they are potentially reuniting....we shall see.

My roommate came in today and I think we are just going to have a great time together. She's awesome and so am I so we are a good match ;-p! Hehe.

Work today was okay....I have some assessments, but won't bore you with them. I'm looking forward to when I finally get to the point where I have the knowledge down and can appear all knowledgeable and spiffy and all that crud, and hopefully at least a smidgeon entertaining! I find being entertaining much more fulfilling than being knowledgeable, but somehow that's not what's in my job description - bummer, hehe. I don't lead anything these first couple weeks, and will probably be lame to start out with, but will hopefully rock before I'm done here!

Since I have a lot of unpacking to go I couldn't find my work appropriate belt today =-/. So my next closest one has a studded star in the belt buckle, but I figured that was a much better choice than any of the three with the skull belt buckles, hehe.

This area is pretty. I went to the store yesterday evening and was blown away by the beauty from the parking lot. Standing there on top of a hill looking out as the sun was setting....it seemed like more of a scenic viewpoint off a highway, or a makeout lookout (not that I would know anything about those ;-P) than a grocery store parking lot. Wow. I love finding beauty in unexpected places. And this is the second time I have been blown away by the view from a grocery store parking lot! Back in 2005 I was prancing into a store when living in Tacoma and just stopped in my tracks when I realized that was Mt. Ranier above the store top. You just don't get views like that in my hometown! And tonight when my roommate and I were coming home from where we had been, I had to break for Deer!! Two of them!

So I think this place will be scenically stimulating for sure, and I have some really groovy coworkers (along with ones who aren't, hehe) at my fingertips, and a fabulous mall! Not that I am ever allowed to buy anything again, hehe =-).

So I'm sitting here typing away with my dollar-sign bling ring (because that's how I roll, yo!), and before I started typing this I made sure to test out how fun it was to bounce on this bed. I figured that was an appropriate way to celebrate my first day out of the cast. But ya, ankle wasn't really completely happy today, so I was bouncing more on the other foot.....kind of flamingo style if they ever took a lot of uppers or really had to pee and were waiting in line, hehe.

But now I must off, off and away. Things are good right now! And I wanted to give a special shout out to my amazing parents who are headed abroad for the first time ever tomorrow!!! Yay! And they better not be reading this tonight because neither of them had packed yet (gee, maybe that's where I get it from, hehe). It's awesome when you are able to be a part of making something amazing happen for people who are so unbelievable and deserving =-). And I'm not just saying that to get a fantastic souvenir, hehe.

I'm in a good mood - I hope you are too =-)!
