"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." -- "Ellen DeGeneres":http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Ellen_DeGeneres

All this hoop-jumping to get the mortgage squared away is getting to be annoying at this point. I'll just be happy when it's over. Apparently my cable modem service is already turned on(!), so I'll be starting same day we get the keys, next Friday. After that it's just going to be lots of moving of boxes at lunch and in the evening, and then when Kim's lease is up at the end of the month we'll rent a truck and do all the furniture moving in one day and get that done. Then it's going to be renovation time! Woo!
