Hey, where've you been?
Someone did smote my former site. A pox on him and his down dirty database deleting ways! That means I’ve been unable to tell you about the little things that have been going on in my life such as: my sis had a baby boy, our trip with my brother and his family to Cape Cod, the conference I went to in Vegas, how a crazy girl at work tried to take me down with lawsuits and lies, and OH YEAH how we are moving across the country. In two months. To Rhode Island. Word to the mothership.
I need beers, maybe ten thousand of them. My husband just called to inform me that he is drinking whiskey tonight and that I shouldn’t wait up. As far as I’m concerned, he can sail his boat down Whiskey River every evening from now until September because after five years of my pouting, pleading, threatening, cajoling, gibbering and yearning, he has agreed to move back East with me, his loving loving East coast wifey. This from a boy who is from Alaska and hates the snow, a boy who has never lived more than fifty miles from the Pacific ocean, a boy who’s own family is scattered up and down the West coast.
Not only has he agreed to move, he is fired up! He’s sending me links to beach houses! He’s discussing what I should serve at the café I want to open! He’s installing new sod lawns where before there were weeds so we can sell our house for mo’monies! I’m swoony with love for him!
So in spite of the fact that said crazy girl is out to get me, things are going pretty goddamn great. I’m quite giddy with possibility myself, in fact. I’ve lived in on the West coast for a mighty long time and am ready to return to the fold, where the men wear madras and the locals eat lobstahs. I fly out next week to look at houses…
Thanks to my husband for fixing both my website and my heart, which has never set quite right since I’ve been away. More as we know it.

I gave up on you long, long ago, even though I totally dig your attitude and writing. And then today, as a fluke, I checked in, and voila! You posted! About moving to RI!
I am a RISD grad and am nuts for RI, miss it terribly. It was tops on my list for a relocation from MN if the Canada thing had fallen through. Luckily, for us at least, Victoria has worked out hugely well, but oh, oh, I always cry nostalgic tears when I walk down Benefit Street.
Best of luck and everything else. Get lots o' moolah for that freshly sod-bedecked house.
