I can breathe a little easier now...

Note to self: send Michael to his mother's in Dallas when I arrive in Tennessee.

Things to do:

1. Clean the house
2. Return the cable boxes
3. Get my car serviced (which Michael was supposed to do before he left -- I'm lucky he fixed the tire that kept losing air)
4. Load up my little sporty Spectra (try to get everything to fit)
5. Ship out 5 boxes (so far) of stuff that Michael left behind, which could have gone in the Jimmy with him.
6. Plan my trip (it helps to know where I'm stopping the first night -- the second (and maybe third) night will be with a friend in Oklahoma)
7. Finish Christmas shopping
8. Pack up the writing center for the new "work stations" (because we can't call it furniture) :-/
9. Christmas party with the tutors.
10. Friend/fellow tutor's birthday party.
11. Maybe get tattooed (again) with Mary (no matchy-matchy thing)
12. Try to go to Vegas to see a friend
13. Leave for Tennessee

Whew! *collapses into chair*

I'll still be available online. Visit the blog (visit my blog -- wow that looks conceited), email me, and I'll probably keep my websites up, and keep working on them...especially the ARCADE. I see potential for developing a thesis...perhaps. I could be wrong, but I see it, dammit, and that's what counts. O.o

I will miss all of the fabulous people I met in 658 (and 609). I'll miss all the fabulous people I work with. (I won't miss the desert).

I must find a way to take the scent of the creosote with me, and take it out when it rains in TN.

So stay in touch, try to keep me posted on how your graduate studies go, and your theses.

CONGRATULATIONS again Freddie!

Hope to see you both somewhere in cyberspace.
