Taking a Plunge...

Hmm... So I was checking the local newspaper for Phoenix and came across this article that concerns the apartment complex I will be moving to in Glendale...  go figure!  Click on the post title above to read the article.

Loading up the car...

Well I have been busy over the last week with packing and trying to figure out how to fit my entire life into a Toyota Prius...   It is like playing a life-size version of Tetris in which the colorful little blocks have been replaced by boxes and Space-Saver vacuum bags...  This is what my car looked like a few days ago as I reached the halfway point in packing up my car:

Success!

Believe it or not, I finally managed to acquire the elusive Wii...  I was at Meijer at 5:30 AM and stood in the long line in the toy department for over a half hour to get the second-to-last Wii in the store.  Persistence has finally paid off.  Yet now that I have a Wii I have yet to take it out of the box... I figure If I do that I will just have to try to repack it when I move so why bother... It will be a new toy for when I move into my beautiful new apartment in Arizona.

Wii Quest

Ok, So my stepmother Hallie called me today to tell me that the Meijer Ads for this week featured the Nintendo Wii... yes, the almighty and mysterious entertainment device that has managed to elude my shopping and purchasing prowess since December 27th, 2007 when I first experienced the unimaginable joy of Wii-ness at my brother's house in Kentucky... Six long months later the Wii is nearly within my grasp.... so Im going to be at Meijer right at 6AM and get one of those 30 Wii Consoles at the Bowling Green Meijer store...  If I can't get one today my life will become completely meaningless... other than the whole packing and moving to Arizona and starting a new job and new life in a new city thing that is...  Now there is only two and one-half hours till 6AM...  I wonder how many more episodes of Family Guy there are to watch on TBS On Demand at 3:30 in the morning?

The countdown has begun!

Well this is my first attempt at a 'blog' post...  I am down to 28 days until I leave Bowling Green for the last time ever.  Then it is on to Glendale, Arizona to begin my teaching career.  As I have begun the packing process I am truly amazed at how much stuff I have... even after throwing 70% of my junk away 10 months ago when I moved from my old apartment downtown to my current apartment on the north end of B.G.  

But now I have to consolidate everything that I am taking with me on my 2000 mile drive to Phoenix to fit inside of my Toyota Prius... While the Prius is much roomier than the VW Beetle I used to drive, it is still way too small to fit my entire life into and I am baffled as to how I will manage to fit everything I plan to take with me in it... So much junk, so little space!
