I recently discovered what I think is the worlds best invention ever.....EVER! It's called Skype and it's a free download that allows you talk to anyone in the world (as long as they too have Skype) for FREE! All you have to have is a microphone and speakers/headphones. You can also chat online and do lots of other things that I haven't learned yet. But just go to www.skype.com and download it, then add me as a contact.
The only problem once I'm in Australia will be finding a time to talk! Probably not the easiest thing to do with the time difference.

'Tis the season.....mate!
Christmas is just around the corner and I'm trying desperately to finish up my shopping before heading home for the holidays. I have a busy weekend ahead with the Daughtry concert on Friday (thanks Rob!!!!), the Panthers game on Sunday (again!), and then the 2 day drive home-from Charleston to Arkansas-with Nana and Tucker on Monday. I'm so excited to see everyone in the 'dale!
I'm wrapping up The Chucktown News and trying to do all of the final collections. Not my favorite part of this job. I've got only 4 accounts with unpaid balances now though. I tried to put a copy of the December issue of the newsletter here in the blog but I guess I can't do it.
I officially have 3 tenants for my house in Charleston! Yay! We're in the process of switching all of the bills over from my name to Erin's name right now which is way more of a headache than it should be. I have to pick up a special form for the water bill, we have to BOTH go into the office for the cable bill, we have to show a copy of the lease for the waste bill.....etc.
My car never sold, so I'm driving it home to Arkansas on Monday with Nana (don't worry, she'll keep my narcoleptic tendencies at bay). Maybe the family can sell it while I'm gone????
I've got my gym membership canceled, my work phone shut off, my furniture (most of it) stored away, Tucker's plans arranged (thanks, Mom! He'll love the doggy door), and my iPod updated for the flight. I'm still working on the little, less important things like a job and a permanent apartment. :) Don't worry, family! I'm kidding! I'm making progress on these things but can't work them out fully until I get there.
Ok, back to collections! See you Arkansans in a few days!

One Month, 10 days!
It's December!!! January 14th is getting closer!!!!!!! Here is my agenda before I leave:
December 17th-27th(ish): Arkansas/Las Vegas for Christmas. Take Tucker home :(
January 11th: Leave from Charleston to San Francisco
January 14th: Leave from California to Sydney
January 16th: Arrive in Sydney (14 hour time change!!!!)
Last weekend I got to see some of my best friends one last time before I leave. Kristen and her boyfriend and Kaley drove in from Athens, Forrest flew in from Arkansas, then Mary surprised me and flew in from St. Louis! We had a great time in Charleston and got to say our goodbyes in person.
Hannah might be visiting me this weekend!!!! YAY! She's only coming because she wants to collect all of my stuff that I'm not taking with me. I keep getting texts from her like, "So, what size shoe do you wear?" And she's driving so she'll have plenty of room to pack it all in the car! Haha, that's ok though! I'm glad she might FINALLY get to see Charleston. I've only been here for a year and a half.

Oh, I just looked more closely at my airline ticket and I realized that on January 15th I am spending an ENTIRE DAY in Taiwan! I get there at 6am and leave for Sydney at 10:40pm! WOW!
Also, officially booked my hostel today. I'll be residing at the Boomerang Backpackers Hostel for one week.
