So these past few months have flown by at warp speed but this week is taking FOREVER to go by! I can't wait for my folks and Dane to come to town! But, having said that, we have so much to do this weekend. Check it:
Thursday - visit Pike Market for fresh produce for the weekend, pick up D from the aero-puerto, watch Stardust.
Friday - clean garage, sort sale stuff from keep stuff, errands, Alki beach with friends for a beach sunset and beach bonfire smores.
Saturday - graduation and dinner at Pink Door.
Sunday - more packing and sorting, take D to the aero-puerto, watch Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Monday - rest, relax, whatever.
Tuesday - folks go home, back to work and studying.
It's going to be a fun weekend. I can't wait to have both my folks in town.
Things are still progressing forward with the house. The contract is with the lender and we are ironing out the final inspection details. The Bellevue house was served with a Notice of Default this morning. I guess our landlord hasn't made payments since January 09!! Scary. We took it as another sign that it is time to move on.
Work is going well. Looking for a job is going well too, but it is a bit soon to really get any bites. I've sent a few resumes out, so far nothing. I hope to work with Robert Half in Denver, they already list an auditor position with an emphasis on nonprofit - that's exactly what I'm looking for. But I'm not going to stress about my job situation too much. I feel like the right job will come along in the right time and I'll know it when I see it. Dane is much more freaked out and trying to rain that stress down on me but I'm not having it. All this is happening in it's own time. Besides, it really is too early to be looking. And then when I should really heighten the search, I'll be in Europe for crying out loud! I'm thinking of asking a friend to watch the market for me and send my resume out. Or maybe I'll just have Robert Half do that while I'm out of town. We'll see. All in due time.
CPA stuff is going well. I should find out in the next few days what my score is for AUD. I'm almost done with my last set of classes for Regulation. I've been pretty bored - taxes can only be so exciting. I'm slightly behind on my studying but hope to catch up over the next few weeks. It's going to be tough trying to juggle getting the house ready for a garage sale, packing, studying, and preparing for a month in Europe all at once. I can do it though.
My diet has been on the fritz since April. BUT I haven't gained any weight either, so that's good. My body is not budging from its current weight but again, I haven't done much to deserve a loss. Summertime is always hard. Parties, beer, BBQ. I figure once I get to CO and the cold settles in, I'll be back in the gym and dieting hardcore again. It will be so nice having a gym less than a quarter mile from my front doorstep AND not having a ton of homework and studying to do. I can't imagine what I'll do with all my free time! Course, if I am an auditor, I'll be working 40 - 60 hours a week, so there goes any free time I might have banked on. I can only dream to be so lucky.
You should see our new house. It is so beautiful. Part of what makes it so beautiful is the furniture though, which doesn't stay with the house but hopefully we can find some nice equivilent furniture to fill the place up with. We are only supposed to have 2 cats though, so we are smuggling 2. Hopefully the HOA won't find out. That would be bad. We won't move out or get rid of any cats.
That's all for now. I'm sure I'll post soon with the results of my AUD exam and my parent's visit.
