“The final liftoff of Atlantis on the shoulders of the space shuttle, America will continue the dream!”
“The space shuttle spreads its wings one final time for the start of a sentimental journey into history.”
It’s the beginning of the end – the last space shuttle has launched successfully. Above are the quotes of the commentators on the NASA channel this morning. God speed Atlantis! Come home safely.
Love you, mean it!

I’ve been watching a lot of Oprah (now that it’s over) lately and today, I watched the episode that she had Roseanne Barr on. In the segment that Roseanne talks about how it wasn’t incest, Oprah says,
If you say, I mean, I think that there’s nothing worse than being, well certainly levels of abuse, but to be abused, but to say that you were abused, when in fact you really weren’t abused, and that person has to live with that, that is also a horror; that is as horrible as the abuser.
She stumbled through that (as you can see – I paused and played quite a few times to get it all right) statement but I completely agree with what I think she’s trying to say – if you accuse someone of something bad and try to take it back later, both still have to live with the initial statement and the consequences of it being made.
I tried to find a video of the segment but YouTube didn’t seem to have anything except the promo for this episode. Let me know your thoughts.
Love you, mean it.

I have my general plan for the move laid out, as you saw in my last post. As of right now, I have exactly 2 weeks until the actual move and I feel like I’m floundering in stuff. I’m doing my best to try not to pack things that I’ll need to sort once I get there by sorting and getting rid of things now. But I feel like these next 2 weeks will zoom by and I’ll once again be shoving things into boxes and onto the truck at the last possible moment.
There are quite a few things in a house that just must wait to be packed. My friend Stacy asked me today what percentage of the house do I have packed and I honestly couldn’t answer her. I’m truly not sure because I feel like I have a majority of the house still to pack up.
Tomorrow’s (Friday, July 1) task is to make a list and prioritize everything that will have to be done in the next two weeks. Everything from schedule utilities to be turned off here to packing a suitcase for Texas Bandmasters so I’m not scrambling to get that done and not knowing where anything is while it’s still in boxes. I am also having the 2nd and final phase of the Driveway Sale on Saturday morning so tomorrow will be a prep day for that extravaganza as well.
Something I haven’t said in any of these posts yet – this will be my 18th move in 38 years. Funny thing is, I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. I guess because this is the biggest move I’ve had by myself yet. If you have any suggestions for the planning stage of the next two weeks, leave me a comment. Any suggestion is welcome!
Love you, mean it!
