New design for a new time

We have exactly 2 weeks before lift-off and things are hectic.  3....2......1.....1.....1....feels like we're stuck...1....1....??  Can we lift off yet?

First, our friend Chris is visiting starting tomorrow and we thought he was lost in Japan but it turned out he had told us the wrong day he'd be travelling, and everybody we contacted either knew not his flight info, hadn't heard of him, couldn't give out his information, or couldn't speak English.  Go figure.  Moral: give your itinerary to all your family and friends when you travel!!!

Second, I've been interviewing left and right...and...well...in my PJs.  I'm hoping to hear some good news soon...all of the jobs I'm applying for are in WA and mostly Western WA in the Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia-Everett areas.

Third, my computer freaked out and I had to pay somebody to reformat it and then I spent hours on end reloading everything and getting it back up to speed.  And now apparently my DVD drive and I are playing a game of "tag, you're it".

Fourth, we are trying to sell our stuff (http://sites.google.com/site/rotagaragesale) and then holding a live garage sale this next weekend.  I just sold my guitar, but will play it until the day we leave (thank Buddha!).

Fifth, the school year is winding down and everything is either seeming to get hectic or moving slow-mo, actually it's both those all at the same time.  My seniors are gone and my other students are just practicing for their speaking test and presenting their PowerPoints and I'm ad libbing during the unexpected free time when someone "forgets" their presentation and can't go.

Sixth, we're going to be in Thailand in two weeks and still need to figure some stuff out and EMAIL OUR TRAVEL INFO TO OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY so they don't get worried LOL.
