Current mood: irritated
I can't even go into detail how horrible today at the DMV was, but to simply state... Pennsylvania has the most ridiculous rules ever!!! You can't get a Driver's license without 4 forms of ID, 3 forms of proof of residence and that doesn't include your out if state DL!!!
Ugh!! We had to go back home, gather more info, and then... yes, we got sent home again!! Because they couldn't get our info from TN!! We have to go back tomorrow!!!! Did I mention the DMV is NOT close by?!
p.s. to register your vehicle it is even worse! You must have PA insurance, a PA DL, your actual title to the vehicle, must be a PA title (which is hard to do when you have a leinholder in TN) and worse of all, i need to get my car registered before Tuesday!!!

Insomnia
Current mood: restless
I can't sleep. This is the 3rd week I have been like this. I sleep an average of three hours a night in my bed. It doesn't matter how tired I am. As soon as I get into bed, I am awake and my mind is going crazy, I can't get comfortable, and I just stare at the window, looking for some potential entertainment.
Right now, totally sleepy... sitting in the living room, eyes bug eyed, filling out surveys and sufring the web. UGH! Every now and then Ally or Nadia will wimper or cry/bark because of a bad dream, so I 'll have to get up and pad one or both of them on the back.
I need to feng shui our room, but of course Patrick says,"what the hell is that? " That is the item of furniture he placed on his own (the bed) and I would hate to have to move it. But really our head should face north and our feet should face the door, and our heads are not facing north!
Did I also mention that my throat hurts? Yep! It does, and that keeps me from falling asleep too. (of course)
By the way~ it snowed today. It didn't stick, but it was pretty cool. Our first PA snow. It's going to be a cold but beautiful winter. Well, I am going to surf around looking for job postings I guess... G'night!

The Road Less Traveled
Current mood: refreshed
I think we can all agree that we often complain about life and all that happens in life... right? Well, I sure do. I think it is apart of our nature to dwell in the "whoa is me" song and dance. I am used to it from my family, friends, starngers, myself etc. Well, there is a book we all should read.
The Road Less Traveled M. SCOTT PECK, M.D.
I have read it all the way once years ago, and I have started it again. Now that I am in a totally different place in my life, it hits me in a totally different light. The first line and paragraph say exactly what we need to know!
*Life is difficult. This is great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a truth because we only truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-than life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longers matters.
Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily, or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. *
"Life is a series od problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?"
Great book!

Arriving in PA
Current mood: excited
So, we arrived Saturday night, and got settled in to our hotel room at the Days Inn in Pittsburgh. I have to say that Pennsylvania is extremely beautiful. Nothing but hills. Everything is at the top of a hill. Fed Ex has its own mountain for their corporate office (fancy) Our hotel is on the top of a hill as well. Sunday we slept in and ate our free continental breakfast and traveled around our new town. Moon Township/Coraopolis. I really love it. It's so quaint and beautiful. J Our new apartment complex is in a secluded neighborhood surrounded by a forest of trees, it just so beautiful. All of the street signs are made of old wood with white paint of the titled street, it's so cute! We move into our apartment Wednesday and tomorrow we are going to the city of Pittsburgh- only 15 minutes maybe 20 minutes away. I am pretty excited about that. The movers are planning to be here Thursday or Friday. I will do my best to take pictures, this place is so beautiful.
