THE NEW PLACE: With my superior intellect, I have decided to move out of the wonderful apartment that I have inhabited since moving out from under my parents wing. Yes, I know, its not really a big thing, but I AM moving into my OWN place. I bought a condo. A condo is the best way for me to go. I don’t have to worry about keeping the yard cleaned-up or anything. The whole thing is getting into it. Its being built to my specs and trying to get things done correctly, the way I want them, as well as trying to get the mortgage, utilities, and volunteer movers…. Its killing me. My mortgage broker has not called me for 3 weeks, I’m closing in a week, and I don’t know what he needs to get his part done! I also checked on the progress of the construction last Sunday, and there is holes in the walls (where they are not supposed to be)! I am just starting to work with the utilities, I can’t wait see what is going to happen with that. Sometimes, it amazes me how some of these companies stay in business, most of the time it’s because of a lack of options.

PAYING THE BILLS: So when do you realize that you like your job, but it sucks at the same time? That’s just human nature; we have to have the opportunity to complain about something. At least it makes these blog things fun. I'll write more about what I'm doing later. Its kinda boring and I have better things to write.

SO ANYWAY, I WOKE-UP THIS MORNING WITH A…: I just had a few miscellaneous things to say and I didn’t know how to title it. Played poker tonight with the boys for the first time in 3 months and I didn’t do to bad. I think a couple more weeks like that and I’ll be able to pay off my condo (just kid’n). My boss talked to me the other day, he was asking when I was going to start Grad-school. I’ll be starting next Spring or Fall (depends which school I apply, UofI Springfield or Bradley). UofI Springfield has classes every other weekend on Friday and Saturday nights for 2 years, then you have your degree. Bradley is like every other grad-school (except more expensive). Good news! I found out that girl’s name from last weekend, it’s Jami. I guess she was talking to her friend about me, to find out more information, he decided to tease me about it (which tipped me off of what her name was). I guess she’s a lawyer and I promised my friend that would not make her lose points. Checked out my condo again today, the tile is down in the bathrooms (looks great!!!). I can’t wait for New Year’s, I’m hosting so mark your calendar’s and come up (or down) to Peoria! I know it will be a great time! Another plus, my parking lot is shoveled automatically (really I pay for it but its not much). The condo is awesome, if you want to see it just let me know when you’ll be here, I’ll schedule you in! ;-)
