I thought this was interesting

I think I mentioned earlier that I will be moving in May. Tonight we went to visit the condo where I'll be living, and took a bunch of pictures, and measurements, etc..

I thought this picture was kind of interesting with the way the sunlight came in and cast it's shadows, etc...

I've never really lived on my own before, even when I was at University I always had roommates, so this is going to be an interesting experience. I really can't see that there could be anything bad about the situation. Aside from the occasional bout of lonliness, but if that happens, I'll just go out, or make a phone call or something.

Actually, I'm really looking forward to it.

I am busy!

There's a lot going on right now.

I am moving stores next week, leaving behind the store that I've been in for almost 4 years to go to another one. I'm not sure how that is going to go, but I'm hoping that it will go well and result in a promotion in the not too distant future. I believe I made it perfectly clear to my RM that I am interested in moving up the food chain, when he suggested it to me, so we'll see what happens. At the very least, it will be an interesting experience, because I'm sure not everyone runs their store the way my manager does.

There is a shower for my best friend Sam on the 18th of April. Having never thrown a wedding shower before I'm hoping that it goes well. This reminds me that I need to phone the mother of another of the bridesmaids and report her duties to her (the other bridesmaid lives out of town and cannot make it so therefore her mother is pitching in to do her share of the work). I wish I knew her email address...hmm....

My brother is getting married. This really isn't news, but it's quickly approaching. And every time I talk to them I discover there there are more things for me to do. Which, I suppose is fine, but I'm hoping that eventually the jobs will stop coming. I just sort of want to go and watch and not have to do too much. But time will tell I guess. Also, I have to go alone which is going to suck since nobody else will be there alone. So, blah. Oh well. I guess I'll deal.

Then I have to move. On the 19th of May the people who bought this house are coming to take over. Which I guess is good, except that the timing couldn't be worse for me. I'm going to see what I can arrange with my new manager, but really it's fairly crappy. I have no idea where I'm moving either. I have no idea how we're going to find a house with a closing date of a month. Please keep your fingers crossed for me on that, I really don't want to have to move twice. And in fact, I don't know where I'd go in the meantime!

So then two days later I am going to New York for a long weekend. Hooray! I'm actually really looking forward to this since I've never been to New York City before. I've been to other places in the state but never to the big city. So, I'm hoping that will be a lot of fun. I'll also get to meet some really cool online friends, so that's a bonus as well. Hooray! Actually, that's the reason for the trip, seeing the city, etc.. is the added bonus :)

Then, after that? My Best Friends Wedding! No, I have no interest in breaking the bride and groom up, and sadly I do NOT have Rupert Everett to fly in and pretend to be my fiancee, or save me from an evening of sitting at a table being a wallflower. Thankfully, I also do not have to wear a lavendar gown. It should be a fun day though, and I'm looking forward to it. Except for the part where I have to make a speech...well, officially I don't know that I have to make a speech, I'm just assuming that I do. I hope that eventually they'll let me know.

And after that, I think I may actually have a relatively normal life. Hooray! Actually, in there somewhere I also have a birthday. So hopefully there will be some sort of celebration for that. Last year I don't think I had a party of any kind because I was waiting to have surgery a few days after that, and couldn't eat, drink, or generally do anything without feeling remarkable amounts of pain. So maybe this year I'll do it up real good :)
