Where I've been lately

So I've been in this strange place lately with respect to blogging. I have one month left before my life is turned upside-down. For starters I'll be moving to Las Vegas and will no longer be able to call Idaho my home. So in order not to confuse people I'll change the title of my blog slightly to something along the lines of "An Idaho Gal in Vegas". Suggestions welcome! While I live mostly in denial deep down I know that my Northern Idaho/Eastern Washington roots will never leave me. Born a redneck always a redneck!
The other aspect is that I'll be beginning law school which some have equated to purgatory. So like other lemmings I started a law school blog to document my specific law school adventures. And I plan on cross-posting so that my personal stories are on both blogs. Anyone interested in reading my law school blog AND respecting my anonymity over at the blog just let me know. I'm very nervous about law school but I'm excited as well. I'm nervous about the work load but excited about the people I'll meet and the opportunities I'll have.

So dear readers I promise you I'll post more but know I feel as if I've fallen through the looking glass. Any advice for packing up a huge house and moving it across state lines?

"Idaho Travel Packages"

At first I couldn't believe this story when I read it. Then I remembered I live in Idaho where these types of jokes unfortunately occur way too often. However, this is Idaho and this prank came from Montana so I feel an itsy bitsy better. Here, read it for yourself:

"Montana's gay and lesbian community is calling on Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., to apologize for a gag he recently played on one of his colleagues. On a congressional trip to the Middle East last month, Rehberg left an "Idaho Travel Package" on the airplane seat of Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho.

The contents included a stuffed sheep with gloves attached to it, a Village People CD, books on cross-dressing and sign language and a T-shirt that reads, "My senator may not be gay, but my governor is Butch." The shirt referred to Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, who was caught in a men's airport bathroom sex sting, and Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter." (more of the story)

Dan Savage, a syndicated columnist and writer for Seattle's The Stranger believes the "focus on Rep. Denny Rehberg’s real crime: attempted murder. Sending a colleague into the Middle East with a Village People CD and a t-shirt with the word “gay” on it? Is Rehberg nuts? Or was he trying to get Simpson beheaded?"

I agree with Savage and Montana's gay and lesbian community. This is ridiculous. Oh, and I want one of those shirts.
