The realtor and I are back on good terms now. She gave me the skinny on why the houses in the area where my kid's potential school is are so expensive. Oh, and Stace ( :hi: Stace) was of enormous help, too. :) We agreed to look at five of the lesser expensive homes and she would just spend some time showing me the different neighborhoods in the area.

Seriously, though, it will mostly depend on where the school's bus services go. That will determine where we can live. It's not like Princ...

Today I am going to the gym, but it is just cardio today, no weights. I'm hoping to get under that magical 300 lb mark this morning as it is check in day.

The properties that the realtor sent to us were insane. It was a very sad day for me. My future employer said property prices are a lot less in San Antonio.

I cancelled the interview with the shoe guy this morning. I have to call the HR dept. of the new company to make sure I understand all the company policies and what-not before I verbally accept the offer. I wasn't really happy with the stipulations of the relocation reimbursement, but I will clarify that today. It looks like they will not pay for labor, just the truck and supplies...sheesh. The most expensive part of moving is the labor. They put a $ cap on what they will pay. If they are ...

I feel like a rebel today. I know that is a completely ridiculous thought, though. I have always respected my work environment enough to dress appropriately for business, even though this environment is decidedly casual. Well, today I am wearing the tennies, jean capri's a tank top and a fun outer-shirt. I usually reserve the casual look for the weekends and personal time. I look like I am headed off to the beach. I want to be at the beach. I don't want to be here. :evil:

I should hear b...
