Off to Orlando We Go!!!

I... once again have ignored you, LJ! I am so sorry. So much has been going on at work and at home, and we're getting ready to move my daughter to grad school in Orlando. She has to be there before she can move into her housing (wth) but thank the stars my friend Karen and her husband, who used to live here but now live a mere 15 minutes from UCF, will put us up until she can move in. YAY!!!! I am so excited!

Now though I am hoping to find a place for us to stay the night of the 11th of August. Any of my flist live between here (Fort Worth, Texas) and Orlando, by any chance? We can share a bed...

I am watching clips from the US Olympic Gymnastics trials. I am so excited for the Olympics!

Work is going FABULOUSLY. I am very happy despite being so incredibly ridiculously and amazingly busy. Yesterday I ran into peoples from Snark aka the law firm where I had worked at and got my killer legal assistant skillz back into gear. Ed, my beloved not-boss I would've loved to work for, was there and gave me a big hug. They know my boss and are glad I am doing so well. LOL.

A new book contract is on its way.... YAY!!!!!!!!!

And, I am still pondering the sci fi story. I nearly rewrote it to m/m but my beloved [livejournal.com profile] eurydice72 sat me down and said, "What do you think you are DOING?" LOL. Varmint.

Grumble.

So, back to the original plan to rewrite and fully expand the story. It is put up for the moment, until I get IMBM revised.

Everything else is going great. I've joined a new adult activities group via MeetUp and it could be good. I also, sigh, made my pseudonym join Facebook. I KNOW I KNOW....

Nick will be here soooon!! Just a few more months, he's getting his ticket this weekend YAY YAY YAY!!!!!

I am very happy right now. Once I get my daughter safely in Orlando, and back home again, my son and I will attack the house really hard, with plans to get the entire house into its best shape. There is a dumpster in our future, that is for sure!

Where does one go to access one's lj photos directly? There are a bunch I want to pull off. I'm in the process of finally getting my photo database together using Picasa. There are photos her on lj i don't have anymore anywhere else.

To find your photos on LJ, go to your User Info page and look for the Profile menu item just below the page header. Hold your cursor over that item to display the Profile menu, and then select Scrapbook. If you're like most people, you probably only have one Album, called Unsorted, with no preview image showing. Just click that Album to see all your uploaded photos.

Hooray for all your other good news! I hope the college-bound road trip and moving process goes smoothly and well, with few tears (I figure some are inevitable) and no crushed toes. :)

No crushed toes! The nicething about her apartment is it is furnished. She is taking the minimum. Whew!

OKAy thank you very much! YAY! There are some wonderful pics on there, I don't want to lose. Allll these years of trips, since 2006, and I am just now getting them all together.

I may cry a little but I am just ready to get her on her way, out of my house, SO I CAN CLEAN IT. LOL. She HAS lived at home longer than most kids (23).

My home is always open to you however, you'd have to go about two states out your way to get to me and that trip's long enough without going north just for a bed. :D

Please move your house for me. Thank you. LOL.

It's so disappointing that I don't have a moving castle like Howl. You've no idea. :(
