Thoughtful Thursday

What will my life be like when my move to North Carolina is complete?

I am leaving behind so many friends, and all the family I have, much like George did when he chose to move to Louisiana with Halie and I. I know we will survive-we always do- but we will miss our friends and family here.

I also look forward to the possibilities that are open to us. I already chat with some wonderful ladies online who live in the area, some close, some a days drive away - some with children, some without - all waiting. I know that the strong friendships I have formed with them in the cyber world will only strengthen as we meet. Trust me, they have accepted and loved me at my worst or best and discussed things that would make even my husband blush. One has already volunteered to help me unpack.. and Kaitie, my dear, I AM holding you to that!

And then there is the prospect of new friends-Oh the excitement! Our apartment complex hosts soirees frequently to promote friendship within the complex, so I hope thyat we all meet friends our caliber here. Kae and Halie would benefit from having friends their age, and it would put Halie not feeling so lost when she starts school. Teenagers! I woudl love to meet a 16-17 yr old or two that could babysit once a month so we could see a movie again before I turn 40, LOL!

There is a dreaded fear that I will become a recluse, unable to find friends or venture from my apartment- guess I'll just have to prevent that!!

Notes for today:
Don't forget: the GIVEAWAY! (closes Friday at 6PM!)
I am currently reading:

I love it! Not everyone is a short story lover, but I am a Stephen King lover! I read his author's forward, afterword, & about the author the back page.. like that has changed in 20 years! If the man puts it to written word, I'm all in! I can't even remember my first SK book.. I read 1 and devoured so many more in rapid sequence that I cant decide which it was any more. My favorites are The Dark Tower Series (all of them),The Stand, Rose Madder, and Insomnia. If you like mystery with bits of oddball twists... go get it! You'll like it!


Things to do: Figure out a list of moving supplies I need... BAH!
