between kev and i we have probably slept a total of ten hours in the past week. we are so anxious and excited to close on our house and it is keeping us up at night. i’ll just lie awake and stare at the ceiling making a mental checklist of all our stuff that we need to move and when. at work i’m not any better. during my lunch hour i’ll sit on the computer and play on the city of birmingham’s GIS system. you can check it out here. this is a neat tool to use when you’re an obsessive asshat like me!

yesterday a friend sent me a link to the FBI’s sex offender registry to show me how many sex offenders were in a 5 mile radius of our new house. um, gee thanks. in our zip code there are 29 registered sex offenders. immediately i called dmoney (because she lives a block away from our new house and well, she just rocks!) and began grilling her about the information i received. she assured me that all is well and that she never sees any strange and lurking men in her bushes. well that is a good thing because they would have to deal with my fists of fury and my crying like a girl if i met one on the street. though just for good measure i’m going to print out the list of these offenders with their pictures and tack it to the fridge. so when people come over and ask what the list is for i can say with confidence “oh those are just my bridge club members”.
