I might know people who can tinker with that contract to increase it to 28 times a month. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Contractually obligated only once a month?!

Sauvignon Blanc! Call me, girl! (You realize, of course, I have no idea what that is.) We should do a wine line-up. I have to pick a particular wine out of a group of say ten bottles. Each time I'm wrong, you get to drink a glass. Yes! Sauvignon Blanc! Call me, girl!

I will see you in DC in nine weeks, and you can show me around your home. I love this post for volumes of reasons, but I will say only this: your writing is so beautiful.

The beginning of May I moved from the suburbs to the city. Earlier in the year I had given up the place where I had most of my connections with people. The move is so much better for my daily commute. Love having my own place. Love being by the beach. But I have these little meltdowns every so often because my friends don't just stop by like they did before. And I'm missing out on things with them. I still question the move sometimes but most of the time I'm happy I did it. I feel that same way right now – sort of. The beginning of May I moved from the suburbs to the city.

I promise, one day you'll wake up and realize you've carved yourself a nice new little life in upstate NY and you have all these fabulous friends in other cities who would welcome you with open arms at any time. But it's ok to cry a little until that morning wake-up comes. :) wrongitty wrong wrong. you jut wrote about how much you love your job, so it was a good decision. and as with any big change – there comes adjustment.

I go away for a couple months and look what happens: new blog, new home, new life. Clearly I was holding you back. I'll have to spend some time catching up, clearly. Wow.

I had lived on the left coast for 10 years, since graduating high school, and I loved my life in AZ and then in CA. But after getting fired, I moved home. And it was a big adjustment. Change may be good, but it isn't easy. But I can honestly tell you it WILL get better. Trust me. And if it doesn't, you can always make another change. That's what makes life so awesome. Don't like it? Change it. I went through the EXACT same thing about 2 1/2 years ago when I moved home to Chicago.

I cried like nobody's business on the plane to Germany, and then quite a bit for the first three months as I *tried* to settle in. Snaps to you for pushing yourself and making changes, even when the doubt creeps in. Drink plenty of Franzia for me, and I'll send good vibes your way. Hope that doesn't weird you out since we've never met, but I like your writing a lot & finally felt compelled to comment. Take care.
