I booked a one-way flight for myself and KaliLou last night. Thursday, February 9th is the official date of the big ol' move. Eeeeek.

My to-do list between now and then is a mile long. I may post it somewhere eventually to look back upon one day, but just know that it's boring and tedious stuff. It's mostly stuff that I hadn't actually even considered: buying a cover for my car? closing out my local safe deposit box? Blech. These things're actually no big deal in the grand scheme of things, really. The list just seems to get irritatingly longer every day.

In other news: Chicago got its first big snowstorm this week! Rob missed it while he's in Omaha for training, but it sure looks pretty in pics on other blogs from the comfort of my warm and cozy office:

not my pic, but I can't remember where I borrowed it from...sowwy.

I ordered some kick-the-shit-outta-the-snow boots last night too...legit gear is SO much of the battle. Function over fashion is quickly becoming my new mantra.

(PS: where the HELL is my funny, lately?! boring posts, be gone!)
