Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do, MFN. They sent me a bunch of things to fill out, so I'll send those back later this evening, and ask her to send me more info on the other stuff (including, for example, when this two week training IS, exactly!). She suggested a start date of 4/7.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

TCG just talked to our landlady. She won't consider a partial month lease. I kind of hate the idea of signing up for another year here, but I might hate the idea of moving again more. My other worry is that when next year rolls around and we're say a month or two away on signing on a house, then what are we going to do? I'd prefer it if we were working with someone more flexible at the time.

I'm sorry about the added stress, sj, and I know that you hate moving. You seem to really dislike where you are, too, though. Do you have time to look at all before you have to tell her?

So my latest fun is tackling the remaining loose ends from the divorce. Yes, I know it has been almost three years since we separated and almost two since the divorce was final, but I swear to God these things take forever. You'd think all the legal mumbo-jumbo for the settlement would be enough, but nooooo.
DexH and I bought into the Disney Vacation Club (a timeshare-ish thingy) back in 2000 when we got married. He didn't want it, so I took it over during the divorce. I also took over the remaining mini-mortgage payments. The mini-mortgage was for ten years, so it will be entirely paid off mid-2010. Unfortunately, in order to finalize the ownership transfer, the mortgage has to be entirely paid off now and a new deed drawn up. There's still around $3500 left to pay. I really don't have that, especially given all the insane expenses in my life over the last few weeks.
I know I need to get this sorted out, it's time. But man is it going to be a PITA to deal with and pay for a real estate lawyer or financial consultant to make sure this is all done correctly since DexH lives 3000 miles away and is on the road all of the time.

Dear Pseudo-Big Brother,
Calling to tell me that a) you're at Disneyland, and b) you're wandering around a store full of Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise is just mean. Bring me back a spooky trinket, or I will make you suffer.
With exasperated fondness, Your Little Pseudo-Sister.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You're looking at places tomorrow, sj? I hope one of them is super fantastic and worth the hassle of moving so the decision is easy.

Gah. I am suddenly starving, have nothing ready to eat in the house, and have people coming over in 20 minutes. I did not plan this well at all.

Job for meara = good
People taking pics of Jilli without asking first = immature
Nuts in salad = nummy
Good news from my doctors appointment = I'm down 20 lbs from my previous (pre-preggo) weight!
Bad news from my doctors appointment = I do in fact have The Monster Ick and a sinus infection on top of it, and can probably look forward to another week of feeling like crap, maybe two.
