psyche291. WOW, I've missed rather a lot. Work keeps me swamped, unfortunately. I miss you all.
2. On the work front - I am still unbelievably bogged down with stuff to do, but the last few days have made it seem like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. You know that time early in the morning when no one is awake and you're unsure whether the world is still turning because all you can see, all you can hear is the nothingness of silence and sleep? And then just there, far off in the distance, you realize there's this faint glow spreading along the horizon, the one that isn't really rays of light and can't even accurately be described as light. But there's that faintest ghost of a shimmer, and you know the sun will be absolutely glorious this morning - that's the kind of feeling I've had the last couple days. And I'm a little lighter for it.
3. My youngest sister, Amanda, has decided she'd rather live with us than with her best friend's parents. So on Saturday, we took her to the apartment place to apply, since she's over 18. And they were having an open house, so she (we, actually) didn't have to pay an application fee, which was extremely nice. And if she's approved - which shouldn't be a problem - she'll be entered into a drawing to win a $500 visa gift card and another to win an iPod.
4. We've decided mostly that we're going to let her and Mikey have the bigger bedroom, which isn't too big a sacrifice because both the rooms just seem huge to us. But this way, they'll be able to have two twin beds instead of bunk beds, which is good because Mikey HATES climbing up into that thing, and Amanda sure won't climb up every night. And I can't really blame either of them for it - I was never a top-bunk kind of girl.
5. We'll be moving bits and pieces here and there beginning next Wednesday, when we get the keys, but the big exodus will be mostly over Easter weekend. I have that Friday off and more people seem to be available for then. Anyone nearby who is willing to help is more than welcome.
6. Apparently, I am turning 31 on Sunday. Surely that can't be right...where does the time go?
7. I have made no progress on my list of books, except to add a few to it. *rolls eyes* I can't wait for all my various days off, I am going to lock myself away for a while and just read. Voraciously.
8. I've been wanting to write lately, too, but there's that time commodity problem, like with the reading list. I just try to sneak in whatever I can, but I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms.
9. Speaking of writing...ANGEL. Should I have gotten anything from you yet besides the outline you originally sent? I haven't seen anything, and I'm not sure if you just haven't sent it or if I didn't get it. Let me know. :)
10. Day offtomorrow today. *sighs and grins, relaxing into pillows*
11. Song meme swiped from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coonassblondie. List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Journal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. You know me, I rarely tag. Do it if you wanna. XD.
My seven, in no particular order:
1. Little Wonders - Rob Thomas
2. In Time - Robbie Robb
3. Love Like This - Natasha Bedingfield ft. Sean Kingston
4. Gotta Be Somebody - Nickelback
5. The Rainbow Connection - Dixie Chicks
6. Hot N Cold - Katy Perry
7. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Date: 2009-03-27 01:51 pm (UTC)4. I am SO a top bunk girl. The bottom always made me feel claustrophobic.
5. I don't know what we are doing for Easter yet, but I am sure we will be able to help carry stuff up when you get here!! Let me know the dates and times. We may be going to Red Wing for the holiday though :(
6. OMG! BIRTHDAY!!!!
7. Things will settle down after you have moved.

Date: 2009-03-28 12:40 am (UTC)4. If we ever go someplace with bunk beds, you can have the top. *hehe*
5. I have Good Friday off, so we'll get done what we can then. No worries if you're off in Red Wing, just whenever you can help is fine. Matt's birthday is actually on Easter Sunday this year, so we're doing double-duty anyway. *hehe*
7. Thank God. I was in Barnes & Noble ogling books and got one from my list and one not from my list, which I have yet to go add. ANYWAY, I was in the science fiction/fantasy section and saw those Dresden books, and felt them up for a while before deciding against them. For now... God, I should stop reading your book discussions, they make me want to keep adding stuff.

Date: 2009-03-28 04:55 pm (UTC)4. Rock.On! LOL
5. Oh we might be around that day! We probably wouldn't go to RW until Saturday. So when you find out the times let us know :) Hopefully it will be a nice day for you :)
7. XD The Dresden books are awesome, but they aren't for everyone. You should try them out someday when you have time :D
