I just wanted to give a quick update.  I'm all moved in at my new apartment, but I have sooooooooo much work to do, lol.  I have a lot of boxes to unpack.  I took some pictures, but I have to get my docking station from my Mom, then I'll post them here.
 
OK I'm off to make some dinner, then unpack.  I went grocery shopping today (thanks Mom for the help, I really appreciate it), then came home, made lunch and watched some of the race while I dozed.  Now that I'm rested, I can get some more boxes done.
 
Have a good week all at work and as soon as I get the docking station, I'll post my before pictures. It will be weeks before I post the after pictures, lmao!

Just wanted to give a quick update.  Packing sucks!!!!!  Multitasker I am though ... I was able to pack, do laundry, visit with friends, clean, take a phone call and watch/listen to the race at the same time.  Damn I'm good.
 
I'm trying to get as much done today as I can, work this week will be very busy.  I say I'm about 2/3 of the way packed which isn't bad at all.  Most of what is left is the breakables and I'm waiting to pack those last.  
 
We got Brian, Candice and the kids all moved in their house this weekend, so I was able to get some boxes from her.  Jenn and Ben stopped by today to drop off some of their boxes, they moved last weekend.  I have quite a few duffel bags I will use too, so hopefully I won't have to find too many more boxes.
 
OK well I'm off to pack, I'm limiting myself on my breaks today.  I do need to get my bed cleaned off so I can sleep there tonight.
 
Congrats to Kyle Busch on his win today in the Sprint Cup Series and congrats to Tony for finishing 2nd.  They are teammates so it was nice to see them 1&2 today.  They gave Toyota their first ever Cup win and that's awesome!  On to Bristol next Sunday, my favorite track!

Subject: Movin' On Up ...

Mood:  Ecstatic



OK I'm gonna try to get you all caught up on what's been going on, but there has been so much.  First let me start off with the really great news.
 
I'M MOVING!!!!!
 
Woo hoo, I will be going next week to sign my lease and then on March 14th, I will officially begin to move into my new apartment.  I'm so very excited.  Actually there will be a lot of moving going on this month.  My friend Jennifer and her husband Ben, along with Jennifer's son Kolby are moving as I type this.  They are moving into a 3 bedroom apartment.  Ben's little girl is over there too.  They wanted a 3 bedroom so she would have her own room when she came to visit on the weekends.
 
My brother and sister-in-law found a house to rent and they will be moving next weekend.  It's a 3/2 with a 2 car garage.  For those of you in FL, it's out in the shores.  It's a brand new house, never lived in and they are renting it for $850.00 a month. 
 
My friend Tiffany and her husband, Jerry are waiting to hear back about a 3/2 house they found and hopefully the will be moving by March 21st.
 
OK and now a little more about my apartment.  It's a duplex, a 2/1 going for $550.00 a month.  I'm damn excited that I got a 2 bedroom, everyone knows I need it.  It's about 5 minutes away from work on foot and <SPANCLASS=CORRECTION id="">Walgreens is right up the road too.  I'm about a 10 minute walk to Downtown Ocala, which means Starbucks is right there, lol.  Also the bus stop is one street up and I can catch that if I really have to go anywhere. 
 
I have been making lists of things I will have to buy and wow, I never realized how much crap you need when you move.  I have a grocery list, a supplies list and a list of things I need but not right now, list.  It's a good thing my Birthday is coming up soon, I can tell everyone to get me gift cards so I can furnish my apartment.
 
So if you guys think of things I might need, please feel free to comment and I can check to see if I have it on my lists.  My friend Chris pointed out a few things to me last night that I had forgotten. She said it's from past experiences, lol!
 
OK I think I'm gonna stop here and go back to bed, lol.  I've had a few early mornings this past week, today is my only day off this week and I need the energy to pack later.

OK everyone, if you've never done this before, you need too.  Thanks Miss Emily for posting this on your journal, this was fun.

Music:  WWE Raw in the background!



I know, I know ... I haven't had a real update in here since Christmas Eve.  I'm sorry, I just haven't felt up to writing in here.  I'm gonna try to remember everything that has gone on the past month.
 
I had a very nice Christmas.  I got so much stuff, everything from Tony stuff, cherries, Tigger and a lot of Pirates of the Caribbean stuff too!  I was so happy when I opened my one gift that my sister-in-law got me, she got me the POTC Life board game.  I have wanted that game and every time I went shopping I either didn't have the extra money for it (ya know with all the Christmas goodies I had to buy) or they were sold out.  I think the whole family had a great time too.  Christmas is my favorite time of year and I honestly sit here and count down the months/days till it comes.  There is just something so special about that time of year.  Even though I get slammed at work, I love to come home with a nice cup of coffee or hot chocolate and sit in front of the tree and just relax. 
 
My family and friends are so busy through out the year, yet when the holidays come around, it's like magic.  It's hard to explain, but I can't wait for the holidays.
 
Tiffany and I went and saw Sweeney Todd on December 29th.  The movie was a little much for her, but I LOVED IT!  That was a really good movie and I loved all the singing and the blood looked so real.  If you don't like musicals, you won't enjoy this movie at all, even if you like the bloody movies.  You have to like musicals or don't go see it or buy it when it comes out.
 
Let's see, work has slowed down with a few busy days here and there.  It's nice, not to be so tired and so rushed now.  I do enjoy the down time, it let's me get my work done here and the little stuff I've put off, even though I haven't started the little stuff yet.  I've been enjoying be lazy very much, thank you!  :)
 
Well as most of you all know, that my Dad and I usually go to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck race at Daytona every year.  Well the past couple years we haven't been able to make it with him working.  So this year looked really good that we were going.  Dad, Brian and Mom had a out of town job scheduled for February 8th - February 10th.  Well she got a call from my Dad on January 15th saying the dates are changed for the job, they are now February 15th - February 17th.  Well that is the day (the 15th) of the truck race, so I was upset when she told me (I was having a bad day at work too).  Well Dad felt so bad that I was upset that we couldn't go to the races again, he decided to give me a present.  (Spoiled, I know).  He had ordered this present for this coming Christmas (ya know Ebay, get it now or it's gone).  Well he tells me to close my eyes and hold out my hands.  As soon as he puts it in my hands, I knew what is was, and I started crying all over again.  It's a very limited edition, never worn, but authentic Tony Stewart racing helmet, AUTOGRAPHED!!!!!  OMG I freaked out ... he had told me about this being on Ebay, but he said he lost the bid.  He paid over $300.00 for this helmet and it so made up for not going to the races.
 
Then the very next day, I get home from work and saw an email from my favorite (local) radio station.  93.7 K Country emailed me and told me I had just won 2 tickets to see George Strait on Saturday, January 19th.  Between the helmet and the tickets, I'm very much over not going to the race.  I called Joanne up and told her we were going and she was excited. 
 
Sarah Johns was the opening act and she did a great job.  Her first single is called "The One In The Middle" and her newest single is "He Hates Me".  After she sang, then Little Big Town came out and they blew me away.  I really like them and they sound so much better in person.
 
Then the man came out and OMG he's so cute and GREAT live.  I had a very good time.  We got a little wet walking up to the arena because this is FL and it rains when it wants too.  I was a little cold since the concert was in the hockey arena and it's still hockey season, so it was on top of the ice, but all in all a very good time.
 
Well that is all, I'm off to watch WWE now that John Cena is back!  Love ya all!

Heath Ledger is Dead

Heath Ledger TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding prescription pills were found near his body.

The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams -- they separated in September, 2007. He plays The Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight."

According to NYPD a masseuse arrived at Ledger's apartment and was let in by a housekeeper. When he didn't answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened it and found him unconscious. They attempted to wake him, and when they couldn't they called 911.

We're told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ledger may be best known for his groundbreaking role as Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain."

This is just so sad, I am speechless.  Just so very tragic.

I'm off to spend the night at Tiffany's house, then we are getting up early to go stand in line at Target.  We plan to get there around 4 a.m. and wait till they open at 6 a.m.  I don't know how much sleep we will get with just her and I hanging out and watching movies.  Her husband is currently standing in line at Target with his friend.  They drove by earlier and saw there were about 4 people in line already and he saw his friend, so he decided to go wait with him and we will catch up to them later.  Target has a lot of great movies on sale, along with a bunch of other stuff, but we are only after the movies, lol.
 
Tiffany and I had so much fun last year, that we decided to do it again.  I don't mind the crowds actually.  It's funny to watch everyone else run around like crazy and fight over stuff, lol.  OK well I gotta get ready to leave, so I'll make sure to update you all tomorrow after my nap.

OK I don't know if you all watch Dancing With The Stars, but it really pissed me off tonight.  Sabrina (the Cheetah girl) got sent home.  She is one of the best dancers on there.  This really was a shock to the fans there, the judges, the hosts and the rest of the dancers.  This was so messed up, they kept Jane and Marie around, who stumble each week, yet send one of the best home.  I'm so pissed off!
