At long last - tomorrow's the day

So! There you are!!!
This is a great way to be starting the new year! 2010 is your year. Feb. will be a year for me, and what a year!!  Time really flies, so enjoy every minute of your ride, it is fantastic!! My thoughts, prayers and chickens are with you!  You WILL be successful, Leslie:)

Well here it is almost 3 in the morning of the day off and I am awake and excited.  Of course, I don't have to be to Bayview until 10 AM.  I figure I'll have enough time to sleep later.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and wishes.  I know I have a whole bunch of people rooting me on.  It won't be long now until I start my new life.  An amazing early Christmas present.

See you soon on the Loser's Bench.  (I want to say save an extra big seat for me, then I realize I won't need it for long.)

Hugs to you all
