War of the Worlds

I saw War of the Worlds last night. I think it could have been better with someone other than Tom Cruise, but it was pretty entertaining. I have not read the book, so I didn't know what was going to happen. I also didn't know that it was going to be so scary (as I do not like scary movies).

I am meeting with my manager's assistant today, should be interesting. I bought a stupid planner (as she suggested) and left it at home.

The weather looks to be really hot again next week. Duane will be in San Fran enjoying the cooler weather.

I have to remind myself to get a picture of Boots on here.

I don't have my first class tonight.

So I don't have my first class tonight, but I still have a meeting tomorrow. I swear they told me last week that the class would happen tonight, even though the class leader is out of town.

It is only 48 days till we go on our vacation and 68 days till I am done with this job.

I know the reunion will be fun! I am just hoping we don't have to do anything *edited to protect the innocent* like visit in-laws. We really don't have time for that.

Naughty Boots!

That kitty just loves to go outside! He raced from the basement and out the back door this morning when I let the dog out. He kept evading me by ducking into the bushes, but I got him back in the house eventually. I would love to fence the backyard so the kitties could go out and we wouldn't have to worry about them.

We had a good weekend. We worked on the outside of the house on Saturday, did some retail therapy in the suburbs of Chicago on Sunday, and hung out at my brother's on Monday.

We are definitely going (the tickets have been purchased) to NC in September for Duane's 5 year college reunion. I had to give up going to an awesome craft fair in Chicago with a friend, so the weekend better be fun! I am looking forward to some Hero House yummies.

I have my first "class" at Century 21 today. They have in-house classes to help you get started. I don't know what intelligence level they set these classes at, so it could be really boring.

Duane is making dinner tonight!!

Boots is back!

So Boots was hanging out at the humane society, and everyone there was loving him. He is super friendly and cuddly. They told Duane on the phone that the charge would be $25, but it was really $70! No more running away for Boots!

I am getting started with Century 21. I can't really do anything until my license goes through, which will be next week sometime. I do have classes to attend. I was a little annoyed by being told that I should try to attend both classes when they meet on the same day (11:30-6pm). Hello...I have a full time job.

Duane and I were also overestimating my cut of commissions, but I think we were being a little unrealisitic.

Have a great 4th!

The new kitty may be found!!

The humane society just called Duane and they think they may have found the new kitty! Duane is coming to pick me up and we are going to go see if it is him. I did not have much hope of finding him, so I am really happy!

Wed-nes-day

I meet with my real estate company tomorrow and (hopefully) find out where things go from here. It is exciting to think of a career change, but what if I suck at it? My mom and dad don't think it is the greatest idea (although they have been pretty tactful in saying so). 3 months till I am finished with this job, but that includes an 18 day vacation.

I am getting a hair cut today. My hair has been rather scary with the humidity lately. I didn't want to freak out the real estate lady tomorrow.

I also watched My First Mister yesterday with Leelee Sobieski and Albert Brooks. It was a good indie type film.

I am a HUGE REAL ESTATE ROCKSTAR!

I passed my test this morning. They don't tell you your score when you pass (only if you fail), so I don't know if I rocked it or passed by the skin of my teeth. A pass is a pass though!

Duane won't be home till 11pm or so tonight, so he will have to take me out to dinner tomorrow night.

The heat and humidity may be gone this weekend! I have wanted to go golfing (and other outside projects), and it has been too hot to do so.

I had chinese food last night. It reminded me that I hate chinese food.

I can go back to my house projects and stop obsessing about the test!!

p.s. thank you Cate for the real estate vibes and thank you Conor!

Freaking out

My test is tomorrow morning and I am slightly freaking out. I feel like I haven't studyed enough (which I probably haven't). I am studying this afternoon and tonight. Hopefully I can cram all the info into my brain. It is too late to change the date of my test without forfitting the money, so I might as well take it.

Duane is in LA, otherwise I would probably be driving him nuts.

Testing

So my test is scheduled for next Tuesday morning, 8am. It looks like they may have scheduled me for the wrong test though, so I have to straighten that out. You are supposed to get there 30 minutes beforehand. I am so not a morning person. It will be over and done with though.

Duane has to whisk off to LA on Sunday night. It will be ok since I will have lots of cramming time and then we can celebrate when he gets back Tuesday night!

I am hoping to go see Batman begins tonight! I am a sucker for comic book movies, even if they aren't that good (like Hulk).

It is SUMMER

The kitty is still missing. I checked out the humane society yesterday, in case someone had brought him in. No dice. Duane and I put signs up in the neighborhood last night.

My test is set for next Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. They were supposed to get back to me within 24 hours, and they haven't.

Off to go home and clean the house for a guest coming tomorrow.
