Not just SMRT
But qualified to do my job, too… 
Your Language Arts Grade: 100%
Way to go! You know not to trust the MS Grammar Check and you know “no” from “know.” Now, go forth and spread the good word (or at least, the proper use of apostrophes).

Venturing out into the world
My youngest sister moved to the Cayman Islands this morning. It’s been in the works for a while, but I don’t think anyone really believed she’d do it. But her visa came through and the job she’d been offered was waiting for her, so off she went.
I’m vastly proud of her for doing this. For following her dreams, and striking out on her own with no one there to catch her. But I’m gonna miss her.
I did the independance thing fairly young, too. Moved from my parents’ house right after I got my first job, into a house I bought by myself. It was a struggle for a lot of years, but I did it on my own. And a lot of people tried to talk me out of it. Told me I should wait until I got married to move out. Told me to wait until I wasn’t alone to take on the big scary world of real estate. But doing it was the best decision I ever made.
And looking back, years from now, I hope my sister thinks that picking up and moving to a new country was the best decision she ever made, too.

Holy crap…
Well, the two weeks from hell are finally over. The next time I think it’s a good idea to work fourteen-hour days, seven days a week for two weeks, please feel free to kick me in the head. (Although, I am looking forward to playing with the 80GB iPod I treated myself to with the OT pay. )
I did accomplish all of my projects, except for the housework. My poor house looks like it was hit by the Tasmanian Devil… Which really sucks because this weekend, a giant cold front…and snow… moved in. I mean, heck, it’s Canada, I’m not exactly surprised it came, but the timing really didn’t help. I have baseboard heating and I can’t actually get to my heaters to turn them on. Not that I would, because they’d catch all the papers and books on fire. So I’m sitting here shivering. And procrastinating on the cleaning. I hate cleaning.
I have wayyyyy too much clutter. I’ve almost hit the point where I’m just going to start throwing everything out…. like the hundreds of magazines I’ve kept in case I need to refer back to an article (I never have), or the books I’m never going to read again. I’m pretty sure I have every single Silhouette Yours Truly, Harlequin Love & Laughter and Harlequin Duets book ever published. Not to mention the 350 Temptations. Okay, I won’t actually throw out the books, but I think the used book store is either going to be really really happy, or really really pissed.
D’you think there’s a clutter fairy who will come in and organize my house for me? I’m all over paying someone to clean the house, but I don’t think they’ll be willing to dig through the clutter to get to the cleaning part….
