Goodbye part 2

Yeah, so I always have something more to say.

Crap, I freaking hate saying goodbye. Kari and Kurtis just left after stopping by, she's going to be taking care of Harley while Matt is gone. As soon as her car drove off I started crying like a baby. I finally made a truly wonderful friend who is sane on top of it (the sane part has to do with a psycho I had met at my last job before Medtronic...Kari knows who I'm talking about) and now I'm leaving. Kari, if you are reading this I am going to miss you sooo much! And Kurtis too, he's my favorite little 1 year old in the whole world! :-(

Yesterday I stopped by Medtronic to say one last goodbye to the rest of my friends there....I was in much better spirits than I was on my last day of actually working there. Unfortunately Keno wasn't there, but I was able to hang out and chat with Kaelee & Barbara & Kari & Karen and....etc. It was nice.

After leaving Medtronic I went over to Kari's at 3pm and we headed off to drop Kurtis off at her sister's house and then we high-tailed it to Tulalip casino. We had very high hopes to win it big but sadly we didn't do very well at all. I even brought my little pink pig of my Grandpa's as good luck but even the luck of the pig didn't help us. Oh-well, we had a lot fun and that's all that matters. We picked Kurtis up after that and headed back to her place, had some pizza and some drinks and I spent the night. I love pajama parties!

It's funny because up until a few minutes ago I was 100% sure of my move to NY...now I'm wondering if I should have given WA a chance on my own. I'm sure it's just my emotions speaking but still...while I was having my little sob fest I realized that I don't have to stay in NY forever. The great part about starting over is that I can do anything that I want, anything at all! I can go to NY, be near my family as I know I will need their support and if 6 months or a year down the line I no longer want to live there, I can move. Like I said, I can do anything I want to, I don't have anything tieing me down to any place in particular. I have to admit it's a good feeling to know that my life is entirely up to me, hopefully it doesn't sound selfish but I don't have to worry about anyone else but myself from here on out. I like that. :)

Yeah, so the trunk of my car is all packed up and I think we thought we were going to have more room than we actually do. Oh-well, I'm sure Mr Organization will make it work. ha ha.

Had to make another trip to the UPS store to ship out all my wall hanging/picture frame-ish stuff....that ended up being a little over $100. Yikes! Oh-well, they packed it pretty well so it *should* get there in one piece. Cross fingers.

I was thinking I wanted to go to Ivar's or Cafe Veloce for dinner tonight but now I'm thinking of getting a Hawaiian pizza from Papa Murphy's and staying in. (I had one last night at Kari's....I so love them!)

Even though I'm so sad right now, I am truly happy with my decisions and I know that things will work out for me. It's just hard leaving good friends. Sucks ass.

Thanks again to all of you out here who have made Washington feel like home to me....it means the world to me.

Hugs to all of you,
Michelle
