Whoo hoo!
Took the day off yesterday to sign paper work closing on my new home!
A smaller, more modest little spot I can call my own.. my first home, ever.
It isn’t a mansion, true, but I prefer older homes anyway. It’s a prairie style home with a long, concrete front porch. A large wooden swing ambles in the wind at the end of the porch on the left. There is brown tile in the entry way, hardwood floors in every room, spanish tile in the kitchen, a huge 2 car garage, a nice wooden deck, a white iron gate encircling the entire property for the safety and security of all and an enormous two story tree house in the back yard for the kids.
I couldn’t be happier. It would’ve gone smoother if the selling realtor hadn’t been a dick, but I refuse to let that get me down. Now to move!
O, goody!
I just thought I’d share the bit of happy news I have to spare. It’s part of my “eventual good news will not be left out” commitment.
Whoo hoo.. I’m a home owner!

State Rep. Kelly Lewis has done it again:
“Lewis Announces Mountain Laurel Center Labor Day Concert Series“.
Of course I knew about it. It’s one of many surprises and changes we’ve got coming down the the pike for the ailing entertainment/tourist industry of the Poconos.
A lot of water and bad blood (and wasted money) has gone under the bridge since last year’s historic opening with Tom Ridge, and the disaster it slowly became.
It was run (to the ground) by morons.

Actually they rounded up some work for me to fritter away at this week!
Neat, huh?
Not to mention I wasn’t too eager to rain on Eric’s birthday parade with my senseless, ceaseless whining. (Hey he’s a great guy, but even I’m starting to get tired of my mewling!)
So we’re all still doing the big, fat wait and see routine. Looks like since I’m occupational instead of getting a termination package (what I wanted so I can focus on school and move onto another, better career) I’m going to be forced INTO a worse job, (so nice to be just a number to be pushed around)
It works like this:

Pardon me while I burst…
I’m going to go out on a limb here. I hope I do not offend, but I just have to get this off my chest.
It drives me mad when people say, “Everything happens for a reason”
No. It. Does. Not.
Look, I wanna believe in the tooth fairy and jolly green giant too, but that’s just wishful thinking. The fates are not attending anybody’s birth; one pulling the thread of your life, one measuring and another cutting.

I seem to be getting hit by a lot of referrals for Jim McGreevey jokes.
I mean what… The Rude Pundit wasn’t brutal enough?
Well, I haven’t heard any yet, but I can certainly blow (no pun intended) the dust off of some old jokes…
In the maternity ward, a supervisor noticed all of the babies crying.
All except one, little Jim McGreevey.
One by one they all were silenced as the nurse popped a pacifier in their mouths.
All except one, little Jim McGreevey.
Supervisor: Look at how wonderfully behaved the McGreevey child is… he never cried and you never had to pop a pacifier in his mouth.
Nurse: If I pull his pacifier out of his ass, he’ll cry just like the rest of them. Trust me.
