Cross Country Moves and Gas Guzzlers

I feel like a vagabond. I'm staying with friends, my adopted mamas who are wonderful and I will miss greatly but living out of a suitcase for two weeks and a couple weeks more is beginning to take a toll.

I moved out of my apartment with the help of my wonderful beloved who then flew back to Ithaca to finish teaching the semester. Today he started the drive to Milwaukee where we'll be staying until January 2nd until our house that we're renting is ready. He flies here on Friday to pack up my car and then Saturday we head out. Our first stop Flagstaff, second will be Chickasha, OK for two days, then St. Louis and then on to Milwaukee so good thoughts would be appreciated.

Although I've started job hunting for Exec. AA positions in the Chicago area its difficult to do so long distance. I have several appointments with head hunters once I get in and a meeting to set with a non-profit director. My goal is to be hired by February 1st. Cross your fingers.

I just can't wait to see my love. I've received several posts from my brother in Macedonia which I'll post later. His blog is up and running although he won't be able to post as much given where he's now living; he's in an ethnic Albanian village and is hopefully staying safe, warm and healthy.

And on another note, I've seen more new Hummers on the road lately than I'd care to. So, while soldiers and civilians are dying overseas, there is a whole new line of vehicles, and I use that term loosely, showing up on the road and eating up an energy source that does not have an infinite supply, in spite of what car manufacturers would like to believe....click on the link to take a look at my site of the day.
