You're not alone, Jess, you're not alone. :)bren j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09132628402113226709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-45640187742101360302008-11-23T19:39:00.000-07:002008-11-23T19:39:00.000-07:00I have heard that changing your name is the most a...I have heard that changing your name is the most annoying part.

Also, I was born 2 months later and I was "only" 3 months early, so you do the math. ;)<BR/><BR/>Someone may have already mentioned this, sorry if this is repetitive...but I thought I would mention that lsome charities will actually come to you to pick up donations of clothing and household items (at least in this area). I think I remember you mentioning that there is someone at your building to accept packages, so maybe you could leave items to be donated there too and they could just get picked up at your lobby? Might save you some extra running around.<BR/><BR/>On my to-do list? Um, give the dog a bath, get rid of an especially stubborn migraine, start figuring out christmas shopping before it is too late to get it done and shipped off to out-of-state family, and try to figure out if my job stress is regular old starting-a-new-job-stress, or if it is early warning signs that this job is going to make me completely miserable.

And we got married almost 6 months ago. <BR/><BR/>That along with finishing up Christmas shopping and organizing our apartment enough to get a tree should take up pretty much the rest of this year for me. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I will say that getting thank you notes out right away was a HUGE relief for me (plus people are always really impressed). It might take a few evenings of sitting in front of the TV while writing them, but sacrifices must be made. ;-)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963064478685341998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-20303606081171365582008-11-21T08:17:00.000-07:002008-11-21T08:17:00.000-07:00Oops, should have read the other comments first, p...Oops, should have read the other comments first, people already suggested the social security office.
