So this is it so far, I have most of these things, but there are a few things I still need to get. I am still waiting for my staging kit... and getting very excited.. because then I know I can quit my job.... FREEDOM!!!!!! 35 days left ladies and gents.

So it's been a while

So yeah, its been a while, a very long while. I'll admit it, I'm a bad blogger, I hope I can do better while I am away. So lets see, whats new, OH YEAH still hating my job, sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours and doing the same thing over and over and over. Don't fret my pets, as I shall wash my hands clean of said work environment as of April 18th ::::and the crowd cheers::: Also I am having a graduation slash going away party on the 19th of April. If it is half as great as my high school graduation party, that would mean not only half as many people would be arrested, but many more memories for the future... aaand Im kidding.

Well, the snows seems to FINALLY be melting after like 100 years of cold weather!! That is one thing I don't think I am going to miss; well maybe those days where it's 120 in the shade. As of right now, it still hasn't kicked in yet that I am leaving soon, 52 days!! I know it will either kick in when I receive the staging kit, or the moment that the plane lifts off out of Minneapolis on my 2.5 year journey. Sooner or later it'll kick in I guess. The last week or so, I have been making a mental lists of all the things I want to bring with me. I think it's good to start early, because then you have that much more time to talk yourself out of bringing unneeded things. I am mostly worried about the weight restrictions, and I recently read that airlines ::ahemm US Airways::: will be charging people to check a second and third bag. Do they not realize that some of their customers are leaving their homes and moving across the world, and are not the weekend travelers? Oh well, I'm done complaining..about that.


Another thing I am thinking about: a thrift sale!!!! Now sure if people have thrift sales in April in Wisconsin. I guess I'll have to wait and see!!

So until next time people, Help control the pet population; have your pet spayed or neutered!!
