Man, you'd think that 2 weeks before I'm moving to the DR I would have something to update about, right? But I don't really feel like I have too much to say. I'm back at my parents' house now after a week in Ohio and five days in Florida. Ohio was nice and relaxing. It was good to see relatives and that town is so freaking cute that it makes me want to settle down and buy a house and start crapping out babies. I had about 5 days in between Ohio and Florida and I managed to sell my car in that time; the whole thing went very smoothly, so that was nice. I also got to go to the aquarium with Justin and spend his whole birthday with him; I felt very special that I got to have a monopoly on his birthday :-). Then on Friday we went to Florida. We spent some time in Jacksonville with Jason's sister, then went to Orlando to go to SeaWorld, and then to Tampa to go to Busch Gardens. It was all awesome, especially given that I really didn't feel like going on vacation any more. I just wanted to sit around in my pajamas and watch TV. But SeaWorld was really cool (we almost got to pet dolphins) and Jason surprised me at Busch Gardens with one of those "safari" tours where they take you out on a truck and let you see all the animals. We got to feed and pet giraffes! It was freakin' awesome. The little tour also includes beer, which made it more fun--and I don't even like beer!
Anyway, so that's about the month of August so far for me. I now have about 2 weeks before I leave, and quite a few things to do in that time. I also have no car, which really sucks given that many of the things I have to do consist of visiting people (only a few of whom live in Duluth). So anybody who really loves me will work with me to make arrangements to hang out with me ;-). Or at least they will not be all offended if we can't and will still love me and write me letters while I'm gone :-D.
Things to do (that I can remember):
*Order a new debit card (check!)
*Put mom on bank account
*Take old mp3 player to shop to see if it can be fixed
*Sell my rolly backpack
*Clean off computer
*Sell computer
*Hang out with people: Jason, Becky, Katie, Justin, Karl, Colleen, Jonathan, Melanie, Jon, family, Natalie? (and everyone else!)
*Go to this "going away party" my mom is having for me
*Get Jason's birthday present together
*See movies: Idlewild, Little Miss Sunshine, Wickerman, Snakes on a Plane?
*Watch the end of the 4400
*Get House Season 2
*Finish crocheting my afghan
*Clean out my stuff that I'm going to store
*PACK!
*Fill out staging forms
*Do power of attorney forms
*Write a will
*Contact IRS for power of attorney info.
*Pay of credit card
*Cancel cell phone
*Get 3 months worth of prescriptions
*Write letters
*Hang with my kitties to make sure they remember me :-(
And for now, sleep!
P.S. It still doesn't seem real.
