Life is too short to drink bad wine.

B and I are getting ready to leave for the airport and finally, finally, Time Warner shows up to fix the line. So B should be reachable and if you show up to pick something up you will be able to get in. That is if the phone turns on as the cable and modem have.

Thanks to everyone for an awesome party, I had a blast. I will try to post Wednesday morning to let everyone know that I'm ok and safely home.

Since our recent chaotic upheaval B will be leaving town a week earlier than planned, we are going to try to park the rest of our stuff (which isn't very much) with friends in town and he will take our little car to St. Louis. As a result we won't need help with loading the car but if you have a corner in your basement that we could store a couple of boxes in let me know.

I just scored some free disposable plates, bowls and glasses for the upcomming space of festivities, and these things are good quality so we will be able to wash them and re-use them over and over. They are not quite dishwasher safe but hey, you can't have everything.

I just got a nibble from a recruiter about a job at Penney's (JC Penny's here) as Senior Buying Department Administrator, sounds interesting, the only problem is that it's 8:45am to 5:45pm which is nice for getting up in the morning but I wouldn't be home till 7:00pm at night which would suck. I told them I was interested, maybe there is something to be done about the hours. Adecco Ireland also contacted me but I don't think anything concrete will happen there until I'm actually in country. Still stuff is moving :-)

We will be mailing two more boxes tonight, that leaves three packed ready to go in our living room, I may be able to get those out tomorow.

I just read a post by an old and dear friend of mine which reminded me of the magical life we as witches should be living. I wish I was able to hang out with her and dance around a fire more often, she is one of the most beautiful, strong people I know and she's a blast at a party.

Here's a website about the area we are moving to. krkhst check out the events schedule more than half is horsey stuff to do with racing and the Irish Stud.

My lovely, sexy, scrumptious husband and I (did I mention that he's cute) actually went on a date on Saturday. We had a wonderful time thanks to Ms. A for arranging it, we need to make more time for this kind of thing. Katie seems to working on a full set of eyeteeth, one is completely through and two more are peeking out, the third is surely going to follow soon. That means that our lovely sunny girl has a couple of rain clouds on her horizon. I mean really, it can't feel good. But she's a trooper and despite gum issues keep soldiering on.

I'm ramping up my job search and have a couple of bites from recruiters I'm optimistic that I won't be looking long once I'm in Ireland. Alas I haven't heard back on the google job, it's probably gone. Much of the apartment stuff that we are selling is gone already, just the bed and a couple of side tables left. We need to make plans on what to do with the stuff that's going to be tossed, mostly one large beat up couch. Currently I have six packed boxes waiting to be mailed I'm going to try to make that happen by the end of next week, maybe not all six but at least four. So that's what's happening in my world work continues to putter along and my moving stress levels are rising daily.

Had a good weekend, circle turned out wonderful on Saturday despite a rocky start, we had illness and unwellness and a serious case of Mercury retrograde going on. Ritual was fun and the food afterwards spectacular. We now have airline tickets for both B and myself (I was going to say "I" but that might have been confusing), my lovely husband got that momentary deer in the headlights looks "We're really going aren't we". We have four boxes packed for shipping the first of which will be mailed today pending me getting some forms from the post office. The big girl has been wonderful she was so much fun, she has enough energy for three adults but when she's tired there's an internal switch somewhere and she just goes, it's very cute. I'm a little concerned about her digestion since she has had a touch of diahorea for over a week now, my mom says it's her teeth comming in but I think that might be an old wives tale. She's not acting sick at all though so hopefully her system will normalize itself soon.

There is so much to do in the next few weeks, I have to organize an appartment sales that will have to happend after I leave the country (yikes), the local community will get first dibbs of course and I will post a list of stuff soon. Everything else will have to go in a box and we have decided to rent a van rather than a truck, we don't need all that much room and I think the van will do just fine and is less than half the price of the truck as well as being more comfortable to drive. We are going to have to figure out how to get it loaded because B will likely have to leave on a weekday which means picking up the van in the morning, loading it and getting on the road before lunch, all with the girl in tow. We shall have to see how we manage that.
