Some changes are a happin'!

Let's start with big news first.
I still work at the Waukesha Court House but instead of working at 8:30 to 5:30, it's 7:30 to 4:30. This is just in time for summer. It's going to be great getting home early to be with my babies and drinking in all the warm air.

Second piece of great news: I'll be moving at the end of June or early July. I can hardly wait. I'll be emailing folks (guys mostly) about this to keep it in the back of their mind. As the actual date gets closer I'll email everyone with the details. As per usual - pizza/food and beer will be provided once all is done. It shouldn't be all that bad since my plan involves getting most everything there and only having the big/heavy stuff for the actual moving day. If all fails it will turn from a no more than 2 hour move to a 4 hour move. I don't have too much stuff that would make it an all day move.

New place is cute. I think so anyway. It has a bit of that eastside charm, mixed with old building/house structure to it. Mostly hardwood floors everywhere. The bedroom has carpeting. Kitchen is small, only one cabinet but it's really long (the length of the apartment). It has a door coming into the kitchen and a window at the end of the room. Hence the reason that it's like the eastside to me. Grandfolks find it odd but know it's an older building. They'll be going to estate sales to look for a hutch. Now they have a little project to keep them busy. Grandpop likes that stuff.

There a "dining" room area but I think I'll keep that as the puter room with exercise machine. Right now I use my dining room table as a craft table so I'll just keep it that way. If I remember right, there are like 3 windows just for this little area. It doesn't have any really long walls to close it off so it will be great to do something in there and still be able to watch TV or hear the stereo.

Living room area has about 5 to 6 windows to it, two long walls - one that is on the opposite side of the bedroom and the second has the hallway on the opposite side. I would think the entertainment center could rest on the second wall and have the couch up against the windows. That would leave quite a distance between the two largest objects in the room. Best part is that my view will be 60th street - oh yeah I'm in the building on the corner of 60th and Washington Blvd. I don't think it's high traffic but then again I did get used to airplanes flying over; so I can really get used to cars slowing down for the stop sign. It's going to be so nice to have so many trees around for my little babies.

On with the description of the place. The next thing I remember is the little bathroom. It's are wide as the tub but is long enough to get a sink and toliet into it. hehe It's a bathroom! What more can one say?

Bedroom is huge!! It's bigger than the one I have now - not like anyone that reads now how big of a bedroom I have now. I can tell you that it will fit my huge king size bed, the dresser, and the little chest I have too. I'll have room for so much of something else. Heck if I know what tho.

Well that is all that I can think of for now and I'm sure this is a long post. Have a great time is all this lovely warm weather.

Here's a shout out to the folks in Rockledge that I miss terribly from time to time. Hey I have to sleep at some point. :) Take care you two!
