Update
by Kelly Lee on February 12, 2008
I haven't posted in a while.
Scott and I successfully made it to Florida, thanks to all my friends who are the only reason we were able to get the van loaded. Thank you so much, all! If we didn't have you, no doubt we would still be loading the damned thing even now. It took two days, and we left just as a big ice thunder storm was hitting. We got it here, to his apartment and managed to stuff all my crap into a rented garage at his apartment complex. Now to figure out where some of my clothing is so I don't wear the same two things over and over again until we move to a house in April.
And, to gloat once more, if I haven't done so to yet personally, it's currently 76 degrees outside. The weather is wonderful here, it's t-shirts with no jacket weather.
Jobwise, I'm looking at a therapeutic school in Sarasota, it looks to be in line with what Streamwood was like, Middle School to High School behavior kids. Now just to work up the courage to make the phone call and see if they need Teacher's Aides. I have my Every Child Left Behind Letter, from Illinois, I wonder if I will have to update it? All that I know is I have no interest in changing diapers on teenagers again, ever.
Amtgard here is cool, it's in Tampa, about 45 minutes away, not as cool as Springfield. I admit, but I hope thats only because I don't know anyone there yet, really. I hope to make better friends with them. Unlike Springfield, where I was already friends with everyone there when I moved in, hell, it's only because of my friends in Springfield in Amtgard that I moved there in the first place.
I'm bored here. To be honest. I need to find a job quick, cause Sweetie Pie, Scott's cat, keeps winning at staring contests with me. I should get some work done on the million websites I should have done, but I don't have my computer online yet. We bought a router, but Scott and I have FAIL written all over our ability to get it to work. I'll find out if I can install the programs to write webpages and hook up my external HD to his computer so I can get some work done.
Note: Sweetie ignores me when she is sleeping on the cat bed next to the computer. I can poke her and she won't even move. Then I open the treats pouch and it's like I put smelling salts under her nose. Ka Pow!
I do enjoy cooking here, which I never really got the chance to in Springfield, cause why should I make fancy foods for just myself?
I'm finally on verge of finishing my leather quiver, and I hope to start working on a new belt soon, I have the basic design for it now, I just have to acquire the leather and tools and dye of it.

I hate my job
Today I got kicked in the face, spit on three times, twice it landed in my mouth, plus various kicks, scratches, pinches, attempted bites and more swearing at than I can count. I've been doing this sort of thing, working with behavior kids, for 6 years now. I just can't stand it anymore. Go »First Post
Hey look, I made a post. More to come when I feel like writing. And less like sleeping. Go »Super secret award
But who cares on this blog, cause no one I know in amtgard reads it. This is my latest creation...took me all day, except for the worky parts. Go »Speaking of the past
I had a card battle with Matt, which reminds me of..oh...high school. And I spent some time tonight looking through old pics I had of everyone from high school....and Go »Introductions
Hey, so some of you know me, some of you don't. So I suppose I should make introductions. Hi, I'm Kelly. Go »

Pardon me if I don't know you well enough to say this, but...
Screw you, Kelly!!!
(And see Tony's last post, along with my reply.)
I WANT MY FLORIDA!!!
(I would tell you to wait 'til July/August when you can't breathe... but it seems to only be a few (less than 10) degrees difference here then -- ridiculous humidity and all! -- and no frickin' central A/C on top... this climate sucks!!!
