Found a new leak in the apartment this morning. After ripping a hole in the ceiling of my bathroom AGAIN, the maintenance guy says it's the sink drain from upstairs this time. We won't need large work crews again.

Sister-in-law's gettin married on Sat so we're going up to PA tomorrow. Hopefully, I will get some calls about interviews and I'll be able to make...

Oh, well the apartment is back together now. It's just a huge mess. It doesn't help that I end up spending every weekend in PA either. This coming weekend won't be any different either, sister-in-law is getting married so that's a whole weekend event. Should be fun.

On a side note, I saw robots with my 11 year old cousin. It was ok. There were...

Oh bother....Last week we found a spot on the carpet which was bubbled upward and made a squishy sound when stepped on. So I called the apartment manager and told her that there was a problem. So one of the maintenance people comes and looks around. She pulls up the carpet and the parquet floor underneath is all waterlogged. So then she leaves and says...

Holy cow! I have a friend! Will wonders never cease? Maybe I'll even get a job now!

Hmm, I suppose that now I'll have to start updating my journal in case my friend gets bored enough to come and read it.

I know that nobody reads this, but on the off chance you come across it and wonder why I haven't updated this, or posted anything recently I'll tell you. I quit my job, sold my house and I'm going to be backpacking in Europe from September to December. I don't know if I'll be back on SG anytime soon, but if you are curious about...

I'm an awful parent. I left my poor puppy at my inlaw's place this week because I didn't feel like driving out there to get her for the 4 days I'll be in town before I have to fly back out to AZ.

I'm sure she's just fine there, but shouldn't I have gotten her?

Sitting here at 1 AM in a hotel in Columbia, MD. Nice little town. Not much to do though. Have to head to Baltimore or DC or maybe the beach. Daytime TV sucks and there isn't much else to do. Thank god there's free wi-fi here.

On the road again.....
Note to self: it was NOT a good idea driving cross country in a u-haul towing a car with my dog!

Stopped here in rainy Springfield, MO for the night. I am thrilled that Best Western has free high-speed internet in every room. AND a fridge! My snickers was melted.....

I have the worst crick in my neck too.

And to...

I really suck at this whole journal thing. I log onto the site all the time, but I fall victem to my sesame street induced ADD and spend vast chunks of time reading all of the incredibly interesting things that everyone else has to say. I don't know why but I find everyone and everything else to be more interesting then myself. I suppose that...

Gee, so much going on. Got a new metal bedframe. It has much potential I think. It's very sturdy. Haven't slept (or done anything else) in it much though since just after we got it and painted the walls we went to PA for a couple days. The weather there sucked (cold and rainy) but at least I got to see most of my family...
