I'm Movin' On...

So clearly I've moved my blog. Mainly because xanga is blocked on our church computers. Which is funny. It's blocked for "mature and adult content." Please. There is nothing adult or mature about my blog. Or my life for that matter....


I'm also moving. As in a change of residence. My house is offically 'breaking up.' Kind of sad, yes. I'm moving to Joliet. With my brother. And his dog.

Here are some things I'm looking forward to:

• paying dirt cheap rent... which makes me one step closer to being able to one day call myself a homeowner (it's my American Dream - a house and a dog)
• hopefully getting to hang out with my bro more, even though we have completely opposite schedules
• living with his dog. Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with Noel. She's the greatest.
• Being forced to downsize on the things that I own. It's about time.
• Earning some extra cash flow on all of the furniture that I'm selling. That's a major bonus, really.
• Being WAY closer to St Francis, which means that I don't have to leave the house anymore at 5:00am for a 6:00 practice. Yahoo!!!!
• Not feeling obligated to do so much anymore - it happens around here.
• Having a live-in sports watching buddy. You don't get that much living in a house full of girls.

Some things I'm not looking forward to:

• Not being able to wear fleece anymore (see above statement about living with dog). Which stinks. Because I really love my fleece pants. All 4 pairs of them...
• Living much farther away from my friends in Naperthrill (a rather obvious one)
• Living with my brother. Let's be honest. Sometimes it's just not as fun than living with a bunch of friends.

Moving on... (get the theme here?)

I would personally like to thank the Vs. tv network, which up until last week I had never heard of. They broadcasted 8 days - that's right folks, 8 days - of track and field coverage from the recent World Championships. And you better believe that I've tivo'ed and watched (well, I'm almost done) every episode. It's really been a treat.

Notre Dame Football. Oh wait, I really don't want to talk about that.

Michigan Football - ha! they got beat by a 1-AA team. I'll just focus on that and not the Notre Dame loss.

Joni Kay's family has been staying with us for what seems like forever. 3 of her sisters and her brother-in-law have been here since Thursday. They just left today. It's kind of nice to have our house back. Except it's a complete mess. Enough about that...
