WTF is wrong with this world?
Former Morgue Attendant Indicted On Corpse Abuse Charge
New form of torture…
As I sit here typing this I am being tortured by the animal’s that live above us. I swear to GOD it’s like a freaking ZOO up there. It starts at 8:00AM in the morning and last night went on until past mid-night. WTF is wrong with these people. I mean I know you know we live under you, so stop walking around like a God Damn elephant.
Batman… Take Two…
IMAX style!
Please Hire Me!!!
As happy as I am to be leaving my current job and position, I absolutely HATE the other end of things. Why can’t people just find me and want to hire me? Why do I have to go through this hell of a process to find a job… Ehhhh
Now that the cat is out…
of the bag at work I can keep my peeps updated. And to do so, I will be borrowing SRR’s post…
It’s been grasping for air the past couple of weeks. So it’s time to let the cat out of the bag. I know all of the readers of SRR.com have been dying to know, “What’s the big change going on in your life?”. Well it’s time to tell you…tomorrow…maybe.
Just messing with you. Alev and I are putting our house on the market. During our vacation we talked about getting back to Austin and do whatever it takes to sell the house. Since being back we have gotten the outside of the house painted (puuurtty), running things to storage, and met with an awesome realtor. Everything has been going at a faster pace than I’m used too. You know those people that are ALWAYS busy? That’s not me. I avoid having too much too due. If I have to do anything, I don’t want it to be night after night. Anyway. We tried selling last year with not too much success. The market kind of fell apart last summer and it’s near impossible to sell a house in our neighborhood. Why? Cause we live…in the Ghettooooe. Plus I don’t think we were too serious. We listed with a friend and if it sold, it sold. If not, ehhh no biggie.
This time is different! We have priced to sell. What does that mean? It means we’re going to eat a big crap sandwich.
Whoa Rob! That’s nasty.
Yes it is. Even if we get the current asking price, we are going to be paying to get out of the house. Paying a lot of money. This is how serious we are about getting out of the house.
That’s cool, Rob. But that doesn’t seem like that huge of a change.
That is very true. There is a little more to the BIG change. Shortly after the house sells, Alev and I will be packing up and moving from Austin, Texas to Raleigh, North Carolina. Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnnn. Even the thought of it puts my stomach in knots. It’s something we really want to do but it’s kind of scary. Ack seriously I have that nervous pukey feeling right now.
Moving to Raleigh has been something we have been talking about for 4-5 years. In the past we would talk about it, then tell everyone we’re moving to Raleigh. We would always end up doing nothing to work towards doing it. This time around, we wanted to keep things on the DL and get the ball rolling. The ball be a rolling now. Rolling really effin fast too. We broke the news to our friends on Friday and I thought I would share on SRR.com. How tacky would it have been for friends to find out on a website. Kind of messed up. So that is our big change. Maybe not big to everyone but for us, it’s going to be HUGE.
I got some more stuff about this I want to write about. It will have to wait till later. I’m supposed to be working.
Peace out!
It’s Done…
and the papers are signed. We are no longer Home Owners (aka 125K in debt). We met with the Title Company this morning to sign all papers and conclude the closing process. We turned in our keys and a HUGE check and walked out no longer home owners. I find it bitter sweet, but I did not cry (I know I know I was surprised as well), but that does not mean that the tears may not come later. Even though we disliked a lot about the house since the moment we moved in, it was still our Home.
I will miss you 1215 Garden Path.. be good to your new owners…
Love
Your Happy to be out past owners!

Dark Night…
Ohhhh was it ever sweet!!!
Rob was able to get us tickets through IBM to see it on Friday and it was everything I thought it would be and then some. The whole IBM set up was a little weird. It was $7 per ticket or $10 with food (choice of Pizza or Hot Dog) and community drink/community pop corn. Well good thing I was hungry and we stopped at Fresh Choice before the movie, cause the choices were looking rough. The community popcorn consisted of a small (and I mean) think dixie cup small cup of popcorn and a dixie size cup of drink (but no Diet drinks). So I took my sweet butt to the consession stand and purchased my must have large popcorn and 2 large Diet Cokes.
bringing The Joker to life. It was nice to have Maggie Gyllenhaal play Rachel Dawes, because Katie Holmes just was not doing it for me. And of course I must give thumbs up to Christian Bale as he was HOT as Bruce Wayne and even better as Batman.
Are we done yet?
We have moved in to our temporary home as of yesterday, but still have some little moving to do from the house and lots of cleaning to complete. The final walk through of the house is on Monday and the closing should be taking place on Tuesday.
How am I doing in the middle of all this… well not as good as I would like to be doing. I feel physically and emotionally exhausted. I feel like I just want to put my head down on a pillow and sleep for 2 days, no dreams and no interruptions.
