SOLD!

It's official! The buyers signed the final paperwork this afternoon and I have never been happier to be homeless! From what I hear, the new owners are "good people" and they already know the neighbors across the street. It's nice to know that there's finally someone living there who can give a great house the love and care it deserves. This old girl tried her best, but I knew when I was beat. I wonder when the rest of the hood is going to let them know they have to host the Halloween Part this year.



To add icing to the cake, apparently I passed the WorkKeys assessment I took last week (the lovely 3 hour test) because today's mail contained my certificate. That magical piece of paper was the last thing I needed before I can start stalking the HR department for the #1 job on my list.



It's been a great end to a fantastic week. My Census training finished up yesterday and I had my first go at actual solo fieldwork today. Luckily I got an area close to the house so I didn't get lost . . . finding all of my houses was a different story! Lets hope practice make perfect in regard to my navigational skills. My trainer and classmates were awesome and I got a promotion after only 4 days. Most of the time I will just be one of the annoying people who interrupts your morning coffee to probe for your personal information, but on the days my Crew Leader is tied up, I get to be her and liaison with the rest of the crew. Works for me.



K had four "green" days at school this week and her behavior chart had more smiley faces than X's this week. It just doesn't get much better than that . . . now if I can just find a good job, a good house and a good man, life would be perfect.

We also had a great day (in addition to an awesome week). After K did her chores and homework we headed up to the Kishbaughs to help Ang get ready for Ryan's 9th birthday party tomorrow. K loves to play with all the other kids and I am an official member of the Veggie Slicing Crew. The evening ended with me going to collect K only to find her curled up on one side of the couch with the birthday boy curled up on the other. It was so darn cute I could have kicked myself for leaving the camera in K's soccer bag. Lucking Ang captured the Kodak moment, now one of us just has to remember to e-mail it to me.

Tomorrow is soccer and the birthday party . . . can't wait!
