As of this morning, I’m living as a bachelor again.  Shannon left town at 8 AM with three friends–it’s a girls’ road trip.

Where?  They’re headed to Dallas, Texas.

Why?  There’s a big Let’s Start Talking (affectionately known as LST) weekend down there.

Huh?  No, Shannon doesn’t work for LST, but her friend Andrea does.  Throw in friends named Amy and Crystal, a week of free time… and a road trip was born.

So that’s the word on my Monday.  I’m yawning, thinking I should clean the house up a bit before bed, wanting to have a shower, feeling like I SHOULD have read tonight instead of turning on the TV, and excited to lay in bed tonight.

Blog closed.  Over and out.

We just handed over the biggest cheque of our lives today.

Along with the signing of a lot of lawyer papers and the purchasing of fire insurance, we are now officially poised to take ownership of our new home on October 7… just in time to host Mick, Keith, and the rest of the stoned geriatrics.
