countdown: EIGHT DAZE!

Okay so i am about RM560 poorer, but i've sent off 3 boxes of books and one box of other miscellaneous stuff; they should arrive in Chicago in 2 months or so.

And i'm getting MY butt over there in about 8 days. Well, i *leave* in about 8 days, my butt and the rest of me will get to chicago about 24hrs after that. Sunday, noon-ish. Whoohooo!

Have no idea of any loose ends to tie up this time around before leaving. Maybe that's good, considering ...
  • Am going out with Baby Angel and KS tonight.
  • Saturday night is a potluck dinner with a bunch of ex-colleagues from Als' side of the work
  • Sunday afternoon is tea with a small bunch of St Marians - a farewell for both me and Allie (she's off to Oz).

On another note: thought I'd share something i totally burst out laughing at while reading Jim Butcher's Dead Beat (the 7th Harry Dresden book).
"Hey, are your feet wet? Do you see the pyramids??"
"Why?"
"Looks to me you're knee deep in de Nile!"
nvm... u had to be there. Or you had to read there? yeah. whatever.

okay, i gotta go nap .. and figure out the plan for tonight too!

ciao!

 ... hi again. This return to blogging is really not working out, is it? Actually, I am writing, three pages of mind vomit and affirmations ...
