All the News That's Fit to Print (I mean, Post!)

Life is just moving along at break-neck speed. I must first apologise to Kara for the delay in pix- I have installed the software to download my photos, but it just doesn't seem to want to complete the process. Stupid electronics! CURSE YOU, YOU TRANSISTORIZED TORMENTOR! I assure you the pictures are well worth the wait, but apologise for the wait, nonetheless.

Moving on...

Court is not until May-the-fricking 23rd, the day I wanted to have my moving/garage sale. Fark! A far cry from the ten days my lawyer promised. Oh, well, what does he know? The only sticking point seems to be the retirement, so we'll let the judge sort it out. Other than that, I plan to be gone by June 1st, and not a minute too soon. This past week-end, Steve and I moved enough furniture into the duplex to keep him comfy til I get there along with anything non-essential I could pack, and made a day of it. One house down there are three boys about the same ages as JA, JJ, and JE (they were playing basketball in the rain- go figure!) and across the street are some little girls about Baby G's age. Perfect.

And the icing on my Happy-Cake? Steve's head-hunter, Mr. P, called him last week and told him his new employer is THRILLED to have him with the company and would like to know if he could recommend someone for another position coming open??? Steve immediately thought of my friend Lori's hubby, Mike (since Lori grew up in S--field and has made no secret of the fact that she would love to move back.) A few phone calls later (to ascertain Mike's education level and experience) and Mr. P was begging the guy for a resume and references. Here's hoping! This would make my move complete!!! (And Lori is a great networker; she is social and fun, and the two of us could be dangerously happy living in the same town. And our kids are great friends!)

And, to top off my Happy-Cake: gov't rebate money should start being deposited today by ss#; Troy's ss# will be one of the first to get the $. Can you say CHA-CHING? (I feel a shopping spree coming on- household items, of course... and mama needs a new pair of shoes!)

Later...
