Comments on the Tonys will be here, because there are some things I will probably say that shouldn't be said in a more public social media forum

For starters, who is this twerpy child who has been to every show, and to the Tonys twice, yet 17 years in the business and I'm shafted again?

Resurfacing on LJ at Becker's request.

He left me a message just now; he's checked himself into the hospital to have his gallbladder removed. I know he's been trying to manage the issues with diet for quite some time, but I guess it was time for medical intervention.

He'll be MIA for a few days, and I'm sure he'd appreciate your good wishes, vibes, etc...

pootrootbeer & I got a delivery slip at home, for a package from Amazon. Yay, presents!

So Saturday morning we hike down to the post office to collect our box, open it up... it's Scattergories! Off the wishlist! Hooray!!

Only problem? The packing slip is for a case of Snuggle Wild Orchid & Vanilla Kiss fabric softener sheets. Ordered by someone I've never heard of from a tire company in Alberta, Canada, and shipped to someone I've never heard of in Schaumburg, IL. I called Amazon, but the customer service rep was both thoroughly confused and thoroughly unhelpful. Apparently, without the order number, they can't tell me who sent this to us!

So, if it's anyone on my FList- THANK YOU!! We'd love to thank you properly for the very thoughtful housewarming gift, but... we don't know who you are!!

So, about 3 weeks from today, I'll be moving into my & pootrootbeer's new home. Excitement, fear, giddiness, all that stuff...

But what I really need are some mover recommendations. Anyone have a mover in the tri-state area they really like? Mike & I will be doing individual moves to make things a little easier and cost- and time-effective. So we're each moving the contents of one 1-bedroom apartment about 4 miles.

Suggestions? Recommendations?

Thanks!

Happy birthday wishes to 2 of my favorite Houston ladies, moppety & pegster.

As I will be celebrating with Ms. Peg this evening with yummy beer and delicious fried cheese curds, I will raise my glass (and curd) to you, Ms. Moppety-moo!

Today I did something I have never done before and do not plan to do again for many years: I signed contracts to buy an apartment!!!

My lawyer called me at 10am, telling me that after all these weeks of setbacks and drawbacks, and general bumps in the road, the seller was planning to leave town for a week and a half tomorrow afternoon, and pootrootbeer & I should come in at 12:30 to sign contracts, or this was going to drag on.

And so we did. Signed our names a dozen times each. And wrote great big checks. And have to start getting a million other things in place (mortgage commitment letter, Co-Op Board package, homeowners insurance).

Holy Crap! I'm going to be a homeowner! Together with pootrootbeer! Holy crap!

Once again, I'm Westward Ho!

I have booked flights and everything.

I arrive 10pm-ish on Sunday 7/15 and leave 3pm-ish Sunday 7/22.
