I'm spending my afternoon in Panera Bread because the power has gone out in Burbank.  The AC is great in here and I can spend some time online with the free internet!  I wasn't the only one with this idea and Panera is much busier than normal.  All my fellow refugees are here!  Anyway I found a seat and I'm glad to be here!

During the last few days of packing, I haven't really been packing at all.  I have been organizing my file cabinet, shredding tons of old documents, and filing some mail that has been building up.  I believe the key to quicker packing is being organized while getting rid of clutter that doesn't need to be packed.  I have a little more to go through and then the next phase is more actual packing.  Stay tuned for more blog posts during my transition to Burbank!

Well, after 11 years of being in the far south and west suburbs, I am finally returning to my old "hood."  I am looking forward to being closer to the city, my family, the neighborhood I grew up in, and so much more.  Get ready because here I come...back!!
