Toys :)

Well talk about managed expectations. Apple stated that it takes 2 weeks before the iPod would ship and the estimated date would be January 11, which gives a delivery date of 5 business days later on January 18.I got an e-mail today that said it shipped TODAY. That means it will be here by January 6, just in time to go to Vermont for Cate's birthday....

The estimated ship date of...

Such a wonderful day

I'm not sure why but I'm in an incredible mood today.

I'm not altogether worried about it given that I practically tell my mother everything as it is, and having this blog up means that anyone and everyone can read it.The only real area of concern is that my target audience thus far...

An Irish toast to you both:"May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future."[BTW, this is what I didn't mention on 11/30 for those...

Countdown to home

Well, I got told Tuesday that my Condo very well may be ready for closing the 3rd week of January, a whole 3 weeks earlier than expected. With that being the target date I'll likely try to close on February 1 to make everything nice and easy for moving out of Elliot's, bills, mortgage etc.Its exciting and scary to have this get so close to being real....
