i did it (not for kid-o's)

i really did it. i quit the running shoe job. i told them the end of the month would be my last day. that is two days longer than i wanted to work, but the boy looked like he was going to cry. really. upon giving him my two weeks, he put his hand to his forehead and stared at the floor. he told me how disappointed he was that i was only there one month because he had a lot of good applicants, and now i was leaving. blah blah blah. it is all emotional blackmail. but it totally worked. fortunately, they are letting me finish out my weeks there (for now at least) because we are lined up to live in a four bedroom house. so i know the little extra money will come in handy. i just hope now that the manix's will let us borrow one of their projectors so we can have all night rock band parties in one of the rooms we won't be using. :) so i guess now, everything that had to be done here is done. i should feel better, but i have stressed myself into a headache today. i just feel a little bad. i will get over it, though. it is hot here so i will put on a skirt and go play with dust tonight. maybe i 'll make him get me a drink. not so bad. i feel like i earned it. i hope they never know how i played them (the work that is--not the drinks--but i'll play them, too, i guess.)
overall, i am happy. i have everything i ever wanted. really i do. good shoes, a nice pocketbook, a honey i love, two kitties, and now a home in vt. (those are in no particular order!!) what more could a girl want? i'm sure i'll find it--what more a girl could want. and when i do, i will tell you all so we can all want it. :)
i am glad to hear that papa j gets home tonight. i don't like that allison being left alone with those boys for a whole week. she is probably the strongest lady i know. so i know those boys won't kill her, but i just want her to have her honey back. that is important. and he better bring back a super souvenir for everyone. maybe a baby monkey. that would be coooool!
and start planning the welcome home parties. we get home the same time claudia does. and then rob will be home. so i think you vermonter's only have a few weeks. no worries. when i get there, i will help with the planning, and we can do it at our place. get ready for a rocking summer!! and if we really get the house karen is finalizing for us, get ready to rock until the wee hours. and potential horsicopter fans, if you feel like making the journey to vermont, this summer is the time. we'll have room in the mcmansion for you.

****just an interesting side note@@@@@i did the spell check. for "mcmansion" the spell checker recommends "micronesian" so we will be living in a micronesian this summer.
