Moving and Stuff

Friday was my last day as a law clerk and then Saturday we moved to Lawrenceville. Ryan is still living out of our barren apartment in Montclair on an air mattress, because the furniture is in Lawrenceville, for the remainder of his clerkship which lasts until tomorrow. Last night I stayed in Montclair with him, on a foam mattress I brought, so he wouldn't be too lonely. (Aren't I the sweetest fiance, ever?)

This weekend I went to Olivebridge NY with my mom and grandparents where my mom is renting a house. I LOVE it there. I would definitely (next time I move) packed it up and move to Ulster county. That might be in the cards for Phase III (whatever that means).

I will be without internet for a while because the previous owner of our house failed to cancel her cable so we can't set up our cable and therefore we don't have internet access at our new house yet. Free cable = inconvenient. I will be starting that textbook soon though so we will have to have the internet up and running by then because I will be working from home.

I think that I'm going to start a few hobbies and make a few resolutions. I think in my "old age" I am becoming... judgmental... Isn't that terrible?

Changes Like CRAZY

Tomorrow is my very last motion day at my job! Woah Nelly! I can't even believe it. I just have 6 more days left.

We are closing on our very first house ever on Thursday and we're moving on Saturday!

And... I will probably be working as a consultant writing a legal textbook on government procurement from home for a few months. Sooo... things are pretty cool.

UPDATE!!!!

The bird is OKAY!!! Animal control went to pick up the bird and called my mom to let her know and tell her that the bird is in GOOD SHAPE!!! YAY KESTREL!

Weekend Update

This weekend Ryan and I went to the wedding of my long-time friend, Madeline. It was at the Richmond County Country Club and was absolutely lovely. She looked beautiful and the wedding was really fun!

This morning my mom, Louise, Marty, Ryan, and I went to Century 21 to do a little shopping but when we pulled into the parking lot, we saw an immature American Ketrel.

.

It was not able to fly. We were really worried and we gently put in it a box with a towel covering the top and put water in the box and a little chicken. And we called Animal Control and let the manager of the store know and the parking lot attendant ... but that's the best we could do. I think my mom is going to follow-up later to make sure they came to get it.

Tonight we got Chinese food and I'm sitting bum-style on the couch. Maybe we'll go on a walk.

No Long-term memory = My own best friend

There may already be a post just like this one on my blog. It may even be identical to this one. And that's because I have a sluggish long-term memory. It is very selective and will not retain useless information, i.e. information not used daily. This results in my inability to remember new ideas of mine and past blog postings. When I reread my blog (which I do on occasion), I laugh out loud as if my blog was written by someone with my exact sense of humor and who understands me implicitly. So, in a way, I'm like my own best friend.

In other news, I have only 14 days left of my clerkship... but I do not have a job for afterwards. I interviewed for ONE job and I just got the REJECTION letter. "Unfortunately, we do not have a position to offer you at this time." Hmmmm... It looks like I'm going to have some QUALITY gym time getting myself in "bride shape."
