Hoosierville

Lori's back at IU! My parents and I helped her move into her apartment yesterday. The move went pretty well, except that her new Ikea futon was missing the screws and other hardware needed for assembly (oops). Hopefully they can get the missing parts shipped to her soon.

I was supposed to meet up with Melissa F and her parents at some point over the weekend or early this week, but somehow plans never materialized. Her mom and dad are in town and I haven't seen them since I wrapped up my assignment in Huntsville almost three years ago, so it would've been nice to see them. Oh well, next time I guess.

My uncle from San Diego called today to tell me that he and his two sons are planning to visit here in October for Lola's birthday. My mom wasn't pleased that they made plans before checking with her first, since they likely would be staying over at my parents' place that weekend. I understand that my uncle would want to keep the visit a surprise from Lola, but it would have been proper to let my mom and dad know ahead of time too. Anyway, we are still looking forward to seeing them, even if their method of communicating their travel plans left something to be desired. :)

Some of the things that were up in the air at work have finally been resolved. Basically, there was some confusion as to the status of my tuition reimbursement request for the summer class I took. My initial request was apparently approved but not put into the right "queue" or something... At any rate, it looks like the reimbursement will go through. Whew!

I've been trying to curtail my spending after last month's shopping spree. There are a number of things I want to buy, mainly clothes and stuff for the house... but I'm trying to defer or at least spread out the purchases so I don't get socked with a big credit card bill like I will this month. :P We'll see how it goes, LOL.
