My in-laws are renting a car for me, so that I can take a trip to Utah this weekend and surprise my mother (whose birthday happens to be on Easter).

P.S. 42, don't tell mom even if she already suspects it.

What will you pay me to keep quiet?

42, if you stay quiet, I let you see your cute and chubby nephews. Isaac will tackle you and Leif will wipe his nose on you. They are soo much fun.

Also, I won't advise mom and dad to cut you out of their will (if they ever write one).

There will never be a will, and I have many other nephews.

I'm thinking something more along the lines of I would really like to not have to attend my Abnormal Psych class on monday. But the instructor grades on attendence, even though there really is no reason to show up since all my instructor does is repeat stuff from the book and if you have a question he tells you to reread the book. Course, if a certain lawyer were to sit in my seat and aswered to my name...

That would be a happy thing.

Not that I wouldn't want to do that for you 42, but I will be leaving early monday morning so I can catch my Corporate Taxation class (S Corps and liquidations). Unfortunately, the dictator that teaches the class does take attendance and ask questions and if a student responds "I don't know" then it counts as an absence and if a student misses more than three classes they are not allowed to take the final exam (which is 100% of the students grade). The dictator also knows who I am (because he is the dictator/director for the program and we are both lawyers) and would call on me if he suspected anything (which is likely to happen because you would smell funny to him, 42). Thus it would be best if I didn't miss his class.

I got my 40 Years of X-Men on DVD. Took forever for it to ship, but it was worth the wait. Now I just need a lot of perusing time.

For the first time ever, I'll be living without a roommate!! Yay! I found this super apt in Quincy that's affordable and has everything I wanted. 1 br, eat-in-kitchen w/ great appliances and disposal, storage space, walk in closets, lots of wood paneling, good-sized bedroom, safe neighborhood, utilities incl. except elec., plenty of parking!! Wow.

Dang good price in this expensive rental market, too. I didn't even have to sign a lease or pay 2 1/2 months' rent, just first month's and a $200 deposit. I'm so exicted to move in over the next few days. Just gotta finish my final school projects first.... blah!

Yay Shrain! Good for you. Living alone can be lonely, though, I'll warn you. Does it include heat? That's the most important thing with utilities in Boston apartments. I lived in a house my first winter there and we were spending over $100 *a piece* on heat in a 5-br house every month for oil heat. But of course, then you move to Seattle and everything's electric, and barely any utilities are included, but then you realize you never have to have the heat on full-time except in the "deepest" of winter.

Thanks! As for including heat, you-bet-your-earmuffs-it-does. :D Hooray! Believe me, I experienced heating bills first-hand. Wowzers, heating cost *so* freakin' much. I'm just amazed at how great a deal and nice a place this is. All I have to pay is electric and internet/cable.

About the loneliness... yeah, I've thought about that a lot. But for some reason everything worked out, and I'm excited to give it a try. I mean, I kept trying to arrange things with other LDS girls who needed roomies but nothing was working out. (I didn't want to change wards, for instance, or pay a ton for parking, etc., etc.)

Now, as for those parties who are interested in my apartment-finding abilities, a payment in the amount of $400 should be sent directly to my paypal account. Then we'll talk meals. ;)
