a semi-annual update
in honor of this great nation's birth, i've decided to post a celebratory update.
once again, casa de quirk will be hitting the road for a town near you. this year, that town happens to be hightstown, nj. we'll be signing a lease saturday on a 2br condo, and never again will i have to put pants on just to do a load of laundry.
the move coincides with what i hope will not become known as "the annual changing of the jobs." i start my brand new bag in freehold on the 14th, and james follows a week later with his new gig in the magical land of secaucus. as for me, i am giving publishing one more shot--if it is possible for me to be happy in publishing, by all rights it should be in a converted schoolhouse working on books about dogs. if i am wrong, it's time to try something else.
i am used to periods of tremendous upheaval by now--but growing weary of it. i'm also a bit wary of the large outlay of cash this new enterprise requires. we would also very much like to accommodate a new car, living room furniture (i won't say "new" since technically we don't have any at the moment), and a spinning wheel by year's end. specifically a lendrum dt with a woolie winder, if anyone's jotting this down out there. ahem, santa.
so here we go again. huzzah for not commuting to nyc anymore. huh freakin' zah.
