Finally some quiet

I am lying on my bed, dead tired from a very long day. I worked at Souper Jenny this morning, got an oil change and then drove up to Lawrenceville to pick up some moving blankets and then topped it off with ushering for Camelot at Aurora Theatre.

Souper Jenny was uber slow today. That gave me plenty of time to schmooze the customers and fax my application and credit report to the management company of my Davis rental. Yes, indeed Mama's got a place to live! It is very exciting news and much weight is lifted from my shoulders. I am not sure which unit at 212 University I will be living, but Kate Miller will be sending photos on Monday and I believe Dave has some more.

Since I am not able to borrow or rent moving blankets, I found a great deal on craigslist and combined my trip up to Lawrenceville/Snellville to also see the first show in Aurora's new space. I met this dude Vernon at a storage unit and called Erin and Suehyla just so someone knew where I was. Just as I thought, this guy showed up in a big van and I thought for sure that it was going to turn out badly. He told me to drive in first and of course, the area was completely deserted. Um, Suehyla!

Anyway, the guy buys companies and then sells their remains. So I bought a dozen blankets for $36! He asked me if I wanted anything else from his THREE storage units. Um, no thanks. Mama's trying to UNLOAD!

The drive to downtown Lawrenceville was just 5 minutes away and after a few trip around the one-way square, I found the parking deck attached to the theatre. I changed my clothes in the car (big surprise!) and then took a little jaunt around the cute square. My thermometer read 98 so I quickly ducked into a little coffee shop and sat with my iced coffee and read skirt! magazine.

I left to report for usher duty and ran into AC and Tony. We then ran into Nevin and Lily in the parking lot and we all got a grand tour of the beautiful new space. It really is lovely with lots of natural light and remnants from the original church.

While ushering I realized that I am such a good people person. Not to toot my own horn, but I really go out of my way to make people feel welcome and for lack of a better word, educated. I wonder what that means for my future (or continued?) career. We'll just tuck that away for future use.

Anyway, all plans are now set and after lots of change in the last few days, here's where we stand:

6/25 - Big pack day with Angela and Suehyla
6/27 - Relocube is delivered
6/28 - Movers come to load my crap, Move into Jennifer's
6/29 - Closing
6/30 - Yard sale with Michele and Erin
7/15 - Going away party
7/28 - Car gets picked-up for cross country shipping
7/30 - Final day at Souper Jenny
7/31 - Final day at CCCS
8/1 - Meet mom at ATL airport and travel with cats to SAC
8/2 - Relocube arrives, Movers unload crap, mom works magic with organization (oh, Erin!)
8/3 - Dad arrives and I'm sure we'll go out for sushi
8/6 - Start to teach the young'uns how to act (Hopefully!)

Whew! That makes me tired just typing it.
