I'm getting EXCITED...

Boo, People. Well here it is Thursday morning. This week seems to have flown by so fast. The damage from the tornado we had on Christmas day is pretty bad. The Embry Riddle Aeronautical University took a very bad blow from it. It totalled 4 college buildings and damaged 6 others. They had over 50 planes destroyed. The Sutton Place apartments lost 3 buildings completely and had damage to 5 others. At this time, the damage in Daytona alone (2 other tornadoes hit in the area) is at $33 million now, I'm sure that number will go up. I wouldn't be surprised if it hits $50 million.For some reason, this is really weighing on my mind. It's just sad that these people literally have no where to go and have nothing left to carry on with. It's just a sad sight. I hope FEMA does declare it available for funds. That's why we pay taxes. On the home front, I have got some more packing done. I've got some cleaning up to do in order to get ready for the New Years party I'm having. Its gonna be a very small crowd compared to last years. I had 40 guests last year stop by. This year's party will be low key. I'm having it here at the condo. I'm gonna invite about 15 people. I'm gonna make my spinach dip that all of you love, gonna make my 7 layer dip, and the INFAMOUS BEERPUNCH that you all can't get enough of. After the party is over, I am gonna go ahead and finish packing up the kitchen and living room. I should have everything but the Projector taken down. Rachael and I are still awaiting word about the house we are hoping to get. My friend Danny (longest friend I have had in Daytona... he picked me up and rented me a room in his house) when I moved to Fla. back in 2-98. He visited for a while and he gave me a Xmas gift. I confirmed with Manpower that I guaranteed to start in the training class on 1-8. He sounded at first that it wasn't because they are requesting more bi-lingual agents. After I told him that I had already gave my notice to my job and done everything to get relocated to the area, he then told me that I was for sure to be in that class. I'm nervous as hell, because if something major (job falls through or the house doesn't come through) happens, I don't know what I am gonna do. I've worked hard on this move and I have really tried to cover all the bases as best I can. But, until I get started at the job and I get a lease signed on the house and the keys to it, will my nerves calm any. I've been very anal about this move, because most of you know my past track record moving has never been pretty. I use to just move at the spur of the moment literally. It got me into some very very bad predicaments. This time I'm doing it the best I can on a single man's budget. I'm just very nervous. But anyways, I'm off today and I am about to hit the sack, its almost 320am here. I will definitely post some pictures from the New Years Party. That's the one day I think friends should get together and reminisce over the past and look forward to the future. Good night and peace out!
