This weekend's forcast.....SNOW
Supposed to be clear during the day, then start snowing at night. All day on Sunday, more snow, finishing off with flurries on Monday morning. I am glad I am off to enjoy it. Tomorrow I am going to the lake front and see what that is all about, I plan to take some pictures and if I can figure out how to, I will upload them to blogger tomorrow. On Sunday I may just play in the snow. I am going to head downtown maybe. Pretty broke, so no "fun-funds" to play with. Until then folks, have a good weekend.

Work Week
Here are some photos. Okay, not yet, but they will be coming soon, whenever I get a little more familiarity with Iphoto and the apple way of doing things, I will be ready for you.
The adjustment to Chicago life is made a lot easier because I have the same job, so at least there is something very familiar 5 days a week for 9-10 hours. I have only worked two days, but I like the people a lot and I enjoy the store. I actually went out last night with two co-workers to watch the OSU v. Florida game at a pub in Irving Park. It was fun. I close the next three days and I am off on Saturday!
The one thing I cannot get used to is the "prime time" because everything starts an hour earlier. I like it because my favorite programs used to start at 9 or 10pm, now it is 8 or 9, so I can go to bed earlier. I also like having 10 oclock news. I do however always feel like i am running an hour late, which I didn't think it would take this long to adjust but oh well. Next door to the little coffee shop is a subway, I have been abusing the $2.49 lunch speacial. I had a tuna sub on Saturday, if you know me, you know that is kinda shocking considering I haven't eaten tuna since I was a kid. I am broadening my horizons further and putting some green crap on top of the sandwich, along with vinegar and oil. Growing up changes what you'll order, but for my money there is still nothing better than turkey on white with american cheese and lots of brown mustard.... no decorations needed on that little gem.
I am trying to hold off on buying cable and internet for the apartment, besides being an extra $100, I have to go 2 blocks to the coffee shop to get internet access, but it makes me walk and get some exercise, also, I can meet and be around other people instead of couped up, It was 28 degrees today when I walked over here and who knows how cold when I leave, so that part kind of sucks. The good news is that it might snow this weekend, kinda why I moved here!
Thanks to everyone who called me and gave me encouragement the last few days!

Brothers K Coffee House
I am broadcasting live looking over Hinman Avenue at the corner with Main Street in gorgeous South Downtown Evanston Illinois. I survived the unusually warm tempretures (about 47 degrees) to bring you this breaking news update.
The local media is reporting that newcomer Jon to the neighborhood has just bought his first cup of COFFEE- FLAVORED-COFFEE. Until recently, this Charlotte transplant did not even know the existance of such a drink. He has had caramel coffee, chocolate coffee, hazelnut coffee and something know as a Mochachino. Being a history major, Mr. Bradshaw had heard that this drink existed once but only for reasons of colonialism and to show the Brits that we "don't need no stinking tea!"
Well day three and all is well. I have made more progress with the unpacking, a more arduous task than I had first imagined. I thought that two days to unpack what took a mere three hours to pack would be a sinch. I have learned that quite often, I am wrong! I am down to a remaining three boxes fully packed and two that are open and in progress. All of my clothes have been put away as I look forward to the task of laundry day tomorrow, new towels and washcloths included. The laundry "facilities" are downstairs in the basement, which includes going out my back door, then down stairs, out of one gate, into another, sounds like a lot, but it is all of 20 vertical steps and about 20 horizontal steps, should not be too tough. You will certainly get an update on this tomorrow. I expect that walking 3 blocks for internet and 4 flights of steps for laundry, these pounds should be shedding at a quick rate.
I did not want to use this blog to discuss my love Amanda and talk about how much I miss her, but I don't want anyone to assume that the omission of such a statement means that I don't miss her... I do.
I have never been more ready to go to work in my life, since December 15th I have only worked 4 days, and my head was so gone it did not even feel like I worked during those days!
That is all I have for you fine folks now, hunkey dorey here!

Hello loved ones, I am broadcasting live from the Panera Bread in Wilmette, IL, this blog entry is brought to you buy my kick-ass MacBook!!! It took forever to get going this morning, mainly because it was the first night I have spent in our bed since December 12th. It felt so comfy to be back in my own bed. It also did not help that it was overcast and raining all day today. After getting out of bed, I had to find clean towels and soap so I could grab a shower. After my shower, I worked on unpacking all day today. Just moving stuff around and trying to find a place to put everything, we have so much crap it is unbelieveable.
I must admit yesterday was a scary day for me. I was changing my life forever, I can not return, no do-overs, nothing. I have all of my comforts, things I love, all my experience behind me now. I broke down and cried at one point because it was the only thing I knew to do. I must admit, I felt better, and I moved on. Tuesday was much harder than Wednesday, all I could think of was reasons that I should not be moving, on Wednesday it was easier to think of why I wanted to move. I felt good when I arrived, like I had made a good decision. This morning, the sound in my apartment was deafening, I was a little overwhelmed with the task of unpacking everything I owned and deciding where it would all go. As the day progress, I felt better again.
Here I am now, at Panera Bread, after finishing my first day of living here, I know I will be fine. I don't know how life will unfold for me, but I know I will be fine.
Thank you to everyone who has called and prayed for me the past couple of days. I love my family and friends, very very much.

Relocation Day Two
So I woke up a little late, of course with the time difference, I was right on time ;-). I drove from my hotel in Glenview to Evanston, my future home. I had done some research the night before on parking, registration, and driver's licenses. Now aware of all the rules, I parked in front of my building and walked the block and a half to the "L," hopped on the purple line, transferred to red, then to brown. I got off and walked 12 blocks (1.5 miles) to the Wirtz Realty Company and the leasing office. I sat down, spent all of three minutes signing paperwork, got my key release so my super can hand me those, off onto Belmont street I went.
I got on the bus and rode through Lincoln Park (the 151 Manders, we spent most of our trip here on that bus) and got off and the top of the "Magnificent Mile." I got a hot dog from a street vendor, just chilli though, I was not willing to spend the points on some cheese. I called Amanda, walked into a few stores, being that I paid a deposit on the apartment, first month's rent, AND my mortgage this month, money is, shall we say, a bit tight, so I did not feel much like shopping. My house is supposed to close on Friday and I can loosen the purse strings enough to buy a few presents, maybe even make a car payment! The store fronts were quite well decorated and were fun to look at. I strolled down the Mile to the Loop, where I caught the Brown line train back up to the Red, to the Purple, and off at my South Blvd. stop back to the building. I met with my super, walked around my apartment a little bit, imagined the furniture placement.
I headed back to the hotel at about 4:30, I didn't feel like dealing with rush hour, traffic was a little heavy. It seems that as long as you avoid highways, you are in good shapes when you are in and around the "close-in 'burbs." Most of the people who live way out there are the ones who clog the interstates.
As I headed downstairs after a swim and a shower, I went downstairs and was headed for dinner, while checking my e-mail I smelled italian food, I was right. It turns out that this hotel serves a free dinner, tonight was meatball subs with some chips. Best of all, free Miller Lite on tap. Needless to say with free beer, I blew a few of my weekly points allowance.
Watched a Duke game... went to bed.

Relocation Day Three
So woke up way too late, even on central time. Who cares though, I am just time and learning my way around this place until the moving guys show up. I feel like a homeless vagabond with no ties to anywhere. I decided I wanted to check out the hub store in Schaumburg, IL.
I was not aware of how far this place was. One thing I learned about the difference of sprawl of 1.2 million people (Charlotte) and 8.4 million people (Chicago) is that when you drive 20 miles away in most directions from Charlotte, you will find a farm or a forrest. When you drive 20 miles from Chicago, you will find Charlotte. Schaumburg is the largest of the Chicago suburbs and our store there is huge. It is a very nice looking red and tan brick building, hardly looks like a Carmax at all. The front lot is roughly the same size as our Independence store. As I was checking out the local Wendy's, Mitch the van driver called.
Mitch said that he would be there in a couple hours to drop my stuff off. I got to the apartment around 3 and called him, he said he was about 3-4 hours away (to me, that is more than a "couple") so I went back to the hotel. I chilled for a few hours and decided that before rush hour hit, I would go to Evanston and see what local eatery I would like to sample.
I tried the local greek place, the food sucked but I think I didn't really order something I would have likes, so I am willing to give it another shot. I of course saw a place as I was walking down Main Street that was right up my alley, so I know where I am going to eat tomorrow. I went to the local coffee shop, bypassing the Starbucks on the way, I want to keep my money in the community when I can, a little lesson Aunt Annie always taught us. She eats at the Red Lion in Elizabeth not because the food is so great, but because there are jobs attached to that place and Elizabeth needs all the help it can get. I went back to the apartment and waited, and waited...
I met one of my neighbors while I was knocking on doors to pre-apologize for the impending noise. His name is Robert, his wife was out of town visiting relatives and he works in sales for some kind of medical supplier. He and I chatted about the area and what drew each of us to the Evanston area. Everyone I have met so far has applauded me for our choice and been nothing but positive about the community.
Finally our stuff arrived, about 5 of 8. Unlike the loading process, I had to help. There were too many steps. The alley behind my building made my apartment pretty accessable but the stairs were very steep, they would not pass any building codes today, my guess is that they are "grandfathered" in because of the building's age. Some of the bigger stuff, like the headboard, dressers, and my desk had to be hauled in the front door and brought up those steps. So now all the crap is piled high in the living room.
Agenda for tomorrow, 1, meet my new boss and my new boss' boss, 2, unpack some stuff if I can and sort through some crap, try to figure out where to put things.
Friday.... shopping day!!!

Relocation Update
We got the apartment! Our house is under contract and will close on December 19th.
I took our breakfront and dining room table to the storage facility today. They are both very nice pieces of furniture that are too nice to give away, and when Amanda and I finally get another house, we want to have those to move into the house.
Amanda picked up her keys to her Ballantyne Apt. We took the sleeper sofa up there, that will be her bed for the next 6 months. The house is kinda empty.
The moving van will pack and load our stuff for Chicago on the 13th... quick huh? We are not sure yet about the drop off date, I am trying to get a firm date from the driver so I know if our holiday plans will work out, sad to say, it doesn't look very good. I will be back before Christmas regardless.
I plan to work the "13th Month" (retail term for the week between xmas and new years) in Charlotte and then be permanently in Chicago at the begining of January.
