First day of school for teachers. I am exhausted.

First graders don't take naps, anymore - and neither do their teachers. Lame.

The unpacking is nearly finished. School (meaning work) starts on Monday for me, and the 25th for the students. This has felt like a long summer, in part because I didn't work. This is the first summer I haven't had a job in more than 10 years. Crazy. I meant to get a job, but my normal job wasn't hiring graduates (undergrads get paid less),...

What the hell happened to the newswire? I remember when it was filled with interesting, non-SG specific wonderfulness.

FeartheReaper is gone.

Wil Wheaton posts sparingly.

Many articles are about SG, which is not a bad thing in itself, but I liked that the newswire was mostly national/international news. Like a sexy newspaper. The last article was posted on July 31st. Fo realz - where has...

They probably can't afford to pay the columnists anymore. Still, any member can submit newswire stories, so hopefully a few folks will pick up the slack.

It's not like there is a lack of news. I'm mean, someone has gotta be opening their mouth right now at FOXNews saying something unbelievably retarted ...well I guess thats not news ....

We have finally moved all of our stuff in. I am so good at it, now, that I even helped a friend move today. Hooray! Now we just need to unpack and get settled, which will happen pretty quickly, I think.

It already feels like home. It feels permanent, or at least not temporary. It feels comfortable and happy.

I napped on a couch today....

Hey, SG land. Sorry I didn't update earlier. Moving is taking up ALL my time.

I did not make tryouts on Saturday, but I'm apparently THIS |--| close. SO, I'm still busting my ass at practice, and will tryout again in October. And make it. Because I am a badass motherfucker.

The new place is amazing, though there are some minor faults. I'm happy, regardless....

Off to visit the in-laws shortly. As usual, we meant to leave about 2 hours ago. Hahaha!

So much going on right now. I need to borrow money from somewhere to help with moving costs... hopefully I can borrow some from my bank. *sigh* I just want to come back after this weekend to have my stuff magically sorted, sold, and moved. Still waiting to...

Must get my own sweet tea recipe! Though we did discover that apparently Arizona makes a pretty decent southern style sweet tea and they sell it right down the street, so hooray!

Sweet! Good luck on the skates.

Yikes! I feel like I clicked on the large print edition of SG by accident.

GIRLS!! PICS!!! VIDEOS!!! INTERVIEWS!!! NEWS!!! SHOP!!!

(Clearly they meant to put exclamation points, but instead just made the font bigger.)

Anyway, I'm glad that they seem to be making smaller changes instead of overhauling everything at once. Hooray, SG web developers!

Anyway, I just came to get my dose of...
