Countdown To My Big Move!

By 7 Comments

Yesterday I admonished you to buckle up and get ready because a move is underway.

In March after some twists and turns on the road of life, I realized my dream of changing careers and landed a wonderful job as Co-Editor of Acadiana LifeStyle magazine.

Love the people, love the job. Being there is Awesome Sauce with M & M’s on top – except for the long, traffic-filled commute there and back.

Ugh.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN - TEXT 2

Thanks to the diligence of my publisher and the helpfulness of our sales coordinator, I am now Day 7 on the countdown to moving into a fantastic new place with a commute that is so short a tank of gas will probably last me a month.

HUGE SMILE 2 - TEXT

*Whispering*

(And, with the move, comes The Great Social Experiment. More on that later . . . .)

 

Join in the Fray: Did you notice the rose petals???

I’m blogging every day in the month of July in Blogher’s NaBloPoMo Challenge. Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment!

I'm a native Louisianan currently living in Dallas, TX. I have a B.S. degree in marketing, an MBA and a PhD in higher education administration. I love writing and research, and also thoroughly enjoy reading and working out.

I am passionate about cultural/ethnic diversity and interracial relationships; so much so that my dissertation focused on these concepts.

    CONGRATS!!!!!!!!

    Much love & pride your way! My social status climbs with you, ppl ask about you all the time.

    Enjoy your time in the sun; I’ll protect you from the Raisin Syndrome.

    Side note: I just discovered I’m allergic to Crepe Myrtle; will you be in the Rice city tomorrow?

    Again, CONGRATS!

    Yes, I love the rose petals – even though tulips are my favorite flower. 🙂

    Details about the move are forthcoming, so be patient, Little Grasshopper . . . .

    Hey Gynger,

    Thanks so much! The time spent in traffic – let alone the stress – is just too much. I’m soooooo looking forward to being able to enjoy relaxing mornings!

    Hang in there! You’ll laugh at these days when you see your name on the NYT Bestseller List! 🙂

    I did notice the rose petals. Nice touch, really. So… where are you moving to, my purple haired goddess? And, by the way, I am very happy for you…. 😉
