Countdowns are on

Fifteen minutes to write this post.

Probably the last day I have this update to Facebook as notes.

Two days to my brother getting here.

32 minutes until my transformations done

Three days to graduation Pre-party.

Four days to graduations.

Six days to fill the PODS container.

Seven days until closing.

Twenty days before we start work in Texas.

Sixteen before I want to be in Chicago.

Six months before I start paying on my student loans.

About 95 days before we start moving to CA.

Just a few things on my mind.  Most pressing is the experiments I need to do before I leave, getting the house ready for the party, and getting the house ready to move.  And getting out of here (work) tonight, with an eye to helping my wife who's packing our kitchen right now.  (Good bye Tupperware!  I'll see you in Texas!)  I might miss my tongs most of all.  Other things not directly on that countdown include getting new tires for the car.  Oi.  We also don't know exactly how many people are coming down for our graduation.  There is some flux in the system.  So, we just ordered food for 25 from Sonny's BBQ, and the grand plan is to shut down the kitchen before this week is over, and eat Sonny's leftovers for three days.  Pulled pork.  Yum!  By the way, if anyone reading this wants to buy some of our stuff, talk to us about it.  We've got a book case, end tables, entertainment center, a great gas grill all still out there for purchase.

If anyone in Athens is reading this, your welcome for the rain.  I watered my herbs this morning.  Of course the meant it was going to rain.  It helps that the Weather Channel also predicted rain for us, but I'm still taking credit.

Does anyone else watch the weather channel religiously like us?  I wonder what they do during the commercial breaks.  Do the ever talk about California?  It seems like the forecasters are fixated on the east coast.  Granted, that's where the cool weather happens, hurricanes and such.

But still.  I have a theory.  When they cut to comercial, they go to west coast coverage.  Then when my commercial is over, they switch back to east coast.  It may have something to do with it being 3 am in CA as to why they don't talk about LA in the forecast though.
