Carjacked! (Well, almost...)

Yesterday, I was following my boss through Charlotte when we got stuck at a red light. Next thing I know, I see a guy on the sidewalk near me trying to look at my car without looking like he was looking at my car (are ya still with me?) I'm wearing sunglasses, so I keep my eye on him, thinking *great, I hate coming all the way down here and now this guy is gonna go and do something STUPID*. Sure enough, he walks in front of my car and up to my door and I'm thinking I'm about to floor it, hop the curb onto the sidewalk to my right and cut beside my boss to make a way illegal turn. Just then, the light turns green, my boss guns it and I'm right there behind her. Not a second later she's on the phone going *OH MY GOD, I SAW EVERYTHING, THAT WAS SOOOO SCARY* and I'm all like *OH MY GOD, I THINK I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK*. So, needless to say, I hate Charlotte. The rest of the drive back up to the office I kept hearing the new report stating that all crime rates have dropped in the QC except vehicle theft & break-ins. Yeah, duh, I figured that one out first hand. Needless to say, this weekend I'm getting a gun and enrolling in the class to get my concealed weapons permit...

On the Move

In about a month or two, Steve and I will be moving to North Carolina, where a fabulous job at a company called Weinig awaits. We've contacted a buyers' agent, and hopefully they will help us find the home of our dreams, with a two car garage, gas stove, garden bathtubs, and a fenced in yard for the puppies. Steve's a little stressed over the change, but I am excited enough for the both of us. I hate living in apartments, and can't wait.
I will be closer to my sister-in-law who is getting very pregnant, and I know when my brother-in-law leaves for Iraq she'll need help with my nephew, who is starting his terrible two's. I thought I would be a little closer to Suzanne, but it turns out to be three minutes farther away (Charlotte to Knoxville, vs. Atlanta to Knoxville on Google Maps) so that sucks. Small price to pay to move into my own house though.
Well, almost midnight, guess I should get some rest. If anyone wants to help with packing or moving, you know how to contact me :)
