The Day Before the Move

This is my last day our offices in the old building. I've only been in them 4 1/2 years, but it seems just as strange to be going for the last day to sit at my current desk. I guess I'm just too sentimental. I should have taken a photo of my desk area before I started packing it up.

Here is a photo of the building where we will be moving to tomorrow (thanks to my cell phone camera). The circle is approximately where my desk will be on the third floor , although not near the outside window which is a bummer.

I'm anxious to be able to sit on the balacony on the top floor (at the top of that red brick in the middle of the building that you see). I've peeked from their once and it is an awesome view of the city. It might be a great reason for me to pack a lunch one day just to sit out there.

Can you believe it? I live less than a mile from work now, but I have to go through three stoplights to get there. Once we move, I will be even closer to home (maybe a half mile) and have no stoplights to travel through. Do you think I can get to work on time? Okay, stop laughing at me.

Last night I got my haircut. The youngest son wanted his cut (yeah, who wants to work on an Eagle scout project?), so I decided to get mine done too since the last lady who did it did a horrible job. So, it's been three months since I last had a haircut instead of four. Am I the only crazy person who waits four months between haircuts just because I do not want to pay for them?

Of course, you cannot let me go to JCPenney's without me sneaking over to the ladies clothing section. It is where I buy most of my clothes. I found a pair of pants on sale for half price ($19) and could not resist buying them, especially with the cold weather coming on. Cold weather and skirts just are not pleasant together.

And then, of course, I spotted my first Christmas gift purchase. This is why I do not go to stores, I just see things I want to buy. Keeping a busy life is a good thing for me. Just because my son suggestioned he needed a haircut, I've gone now and spent all that money I did not intend to spend. Sigh.

Tonight is a football game and I am picking up my Little Sis to go with me. As always, I only go to football games to watch the marching band. Okay, ocassionally I do look at the football team, but only when everyone starts shouting.
