Much ado about a lot of things!

In the past few days I have placed an offer on a house and FINALLY gotten my ATT and thus signed up for my Board exams. These are huge things in my otherwise uneventful life.

First off is the Boards: got the ATT and did a little happy dance right here at the pharmacy, people giggled. It was totally unexpected too; there wasn't any follow up to my daily calls or email, just a random letter in my box with my authorization code. And my other question isn't answered yet either, but we can address it another day. I had my choice from taking it in 4 days or taking it in 2 weeks. And yes I have been reviewing and studying, but that was a large weight to schedule the test that can determine the foundation of my career in under a week. So I went with the 2 week slot. This also gave me time to align my travel to Anchorage which is a pretty exciting thing. I am starting a LONG list in my head of things that I'll want to get and stuff into my 50lb alloted suitcases (hence I'm only giving myself one extra day of personal time in Anchorage to not get too crazy). I am dreading the almost 5 hours of testing and have opted at this time to not do the third law test all in one day. I have a year to do that test and will do it soon but just don't think my brain could handle 7.5 hours of constant strain. And I don't want to know how defeated that could make me feel.

Second now is the house: offer in, counter offer received, counter to counter in place. Hopefully final word by Friday. I am trying not to get too excited about it, but the inner girl in me is really enjoying playing house. I have to admit i started looking at paint colors already. Best comment ever was when Jake was asked his opinion he said that besides decorating being entirely up to me, it's not like he could really help pick colors anyway. Having the hosue within grasp is whole nother shopping list of items of itself too. But alas those will be put on hold until more paychecks start coming in.

And on that note, 2 more days til my first big payday!!!!! ...too bad I have a lot of it streamlined already into bills :(
