First Week... now what??

Bienvenidos from Papillion!

Well, it's been a solid week since I got back to the big O, so I thought I'd update the ol' blog...

The job is going fine... it's mostly orientation, but I'm hopeful that I'll actually start becoming useful here pretty soon. Of course, it's great working with my old buddy Blake, and the other guy is pretty cool too - although, he's already planning on moving down to Florida in the next couple of months, so that kinda sucks.

Now, it's just a matter of waiting on my other house to sell (sound familiar??). Once it does, Suzanne and the boys will get packed up and make their way down.

We're talking about having one of the rotten boys come and stay with me, but that's not concrete as yet. I figure Chase is the easiest kid to handle as a single parent since he's really skinny and doesn't take up a lot of room.

Otherwise, this area is pretty nice, but not really much different from when I left. Of course, the new shopping center is fantastic, and there's plenty of coffee shops and restaurants that are cool. I'm really looking forward to hitting the Borders and the Best Buy this weekend and spending some loot.

Speaking of loot, I looked at a couple of 1 bedroom apartments today. The cheapest set ($525 a month) also has the longest damn lease (1 year). They're a little grungy, but not unbearable.

The second place I looked at is perfect, but a little pricey (about $700 a month). On the plus side, the shortest lease is only 5 months, so we can swing it for a while. I'm going to look at a couple more tomorrow over lunch. Hopefully, I'll find one kind of in between.

I don't think Chase will care where we stay as long as his computer works and he can play runescape and WoW (now that the Lich King is out).

That's about it for this installment - more as things develop.

Now for something completely different: Go buy my house!
