  • Touch Down!

    We’re here! We’re in! I have an interview tomorrow with a pretty rockin place. I’m very excited about it. I’ll update more later. After we make a much need trip to Target and some rug place. And to quote an annoying dead hippy: What a long strange trip it’s been. To quote another annoying dead…

  • Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

    Today, there are numerous people trickling in from out of town for Toby and my post-wedding/now going-away party. And I’m excited. Even though I anticipate crying often, realizing this is the last time I’ll see many of them for a while. I always cry. I cried last night during ER (again). I just really dread…

  • She learned it by watching the television.

    Yesterday, I spent some time mapping out our drive across the country. We have decided that this time around, instead of site-seeing we’ll go the most direct route and see whatever we can along the way. We have decided to take route 70 nearly all the way across. Although Mapquest keeps casually spitting out route…

  • Boats and Naked People.

    This is a few blocks up the hill from our new apartment. I will most likely not be taking a picture of this nature again, as we have no car and this hill was a killer. Again. To be honest, it took me a while to get over the views in San Francisco. I hope…

  • Air Traffic Control deFreak

    I discovered there is something which calms me down while flying. And from this point forward I will do everything in my power, including pay a little more, to fly with United Airlines. Yesterday, Toby and I met Jason Zada and his wonderful wife, Liz out for brunch before leaving San Francisco. Jason is cofounder…

  • Sleeeeeeppppppyyyyyy

    It’s a wee hour of the morning, a mere 5 a.m. TobyJoe and I are heading out for the weekend to find places to live in San Francisco. I plan on writing from there. (p.s. I still hate to fly.)

  • French Exit

    This morning, a representative from Allied is stopping by to give us a cost estimate for moving our belongings across the United States. I’m crossing my fingers it doesn’t cut in too severely to our moving bonus. Yesterday, I spent an hour or more searching for the cheapest one-way car rentals. Many seemed like a…

  • Xantastic!

    For the low, low price of $2.43, now if we go down in a blazing heap of metal somewhere over the midwest, I will no longer care as much. I will no longer sob uncontrollably if we hit turbulence. And there’s a good chance I might even sit through some god awful Disney film. And…

  • East Coast Betty for Hire

    It’s job search time. I began this morning. I have noticed something about the wording for west coast job descriptions in comparison to the east coast, on the west coast people use terminology like this. While I am not a copywriter, I’m pretty killer. So I applied letting them know as much. I’m so killer,…

  • In other news

    My bestest pal, wonderful friend, Gerry is coming down for the day tomorrow. We’re going to show him a DC fine time. I can’t wait to catch up and rest and hear all about how great San Francisco is and how he’ll come visit often.
