Baby, One More Time!

So I'm sitting here at my kitchen table surrounded by boxes YET AGAIN. I'm glad I didn't fully unpack when I got here. I've managed to shovel a path through the pile of snow we received during the "SNOWPOCALYPSE" that should enable me to move next weekend.

Should I start from the beginning, or should I say the end? I got a job offer the week before my birthday, when my parents were here visiting, but as all my wonderful readers know, the rug's been pulled out from under me more than a few times in the past year. I decided to just keep quiet and see what happened before I let you all peek in my window.

It's been 1 month now, and I LOVE my job. The people are fantastic and my company is REALLY interesting. One temporary problem, I have a 2 hour commute EACH WAY right now. 1 taxi, 1 bus, 2 trains. EACH WAY. But things are once again looking up. I got an apartment on Friday and I move in next Saturday. I have a pool, fitness center, 24 hour concierge, I live in a SUPER cute neighborhood in DC and I'm going to try and enjoy it. That will cut my commute down to about 25-30 mins door to door.

One thing to look forward to after the move:
