the shriek heard 'round the world

[verbicide]

They're out! They're out! They're out!!!!!!

I just got a call from my agent. The tenants have vacated, the cleaners are working in there right now, and she's going to meet me tonight to give me the key and I am going to run around the empty, clean place shrieking and leaping and no doubt endearing myself to my new neighbors.

I can't believe it. I feel like the weight of the world has just lifted off my shoulders. I'm dying to see it without all their stuff and to start taping and be able to bring some of the stuff we'll need over early.

And they hired cleaners. I love these people. I had all matter of concerns about how dusty it might be, etc. I'm a bit of a germaphobe (despite how messy my car is, yes, so shut up, Jeff).

OMG I just need to not be at work anymore. Though I had a really nice moment earlier. Steph, our fantastic office coordinator who is just one of the coolest people I know, just became a grandmother on Tuesday. So I made my first baby booties. I really wish I'd had a chance to snap a photo of them. They were blue and white with blue satin ribbon and Steph got goosebumps and cried when she saw them! She's so excited because she gets to see her first grandson on Saturday--her son lives in California so she hasn't seen the baby yet and is about to die from giddy anticipation!

I can't believe I'm going to go to my new place tonight. *runs around*

I really do have to keep an eye on him. He came home once with a whole roast, followed by a very angry family with pitchforks and torches.

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

And then he just swings up into the trees out of pitchforking way, leaving you to deal with the angry mob, eh?

[archaica.livejournal.com]

That's all right, Chauncey here's got my back. Nothing better than a stuffed moose head to scare the folks off.

Oooh, tell me about it!!

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

You crack me up *grin*

[archaica.livejournal.com]

[some_other_dave]

Congrats! Now you get to do a lot of fun stuff. And spend a lot of money... Sigh!

[verbicide.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And you're so right. As I wandered around, I kept noticing things and this annoying cha-ching! was playing in the back of my head...
