I may be nomadic . . .

. . because I'm itching to move again. I like it here, but damn it's expensive. I can't see trying to buy a house here. DaddyWho made the final cut for a job in Minnesota and also in Miami, where I really don't want to live. But he's also on the short list for a job in San Antonio. I've lived there twice, and bitched the whole time. I used to have to drive DW to his appointments and surgeries there. I was heavily pregnant there, in late summer. Not great memories. But I'm strangely excited about the prospect of moving back there. We would be 500 miles from my family - just within acceptable range. We'd be an hour from my in-laws, and my SIL's teenage stepkids live in San Antonio. SIL lives just a few hours away, at the beach. The opportunities for child-free weekends are bountiful.

I can't say anything to family or friends in TX, because they would harangue me for details, of which there are none yet. But I have to tell someone! So I tell my imaginary friends, which is far more satisfying than telling my cat.

(when I posted this blog, it cut off the last paragraph, which I promptly forgot. It may have been utterly sublime and now is lost to the abyss of the internet. And why is the font so freaky?)

Comment by mightyninjamom on April 22, 2010 at 9:59am: We went through sort of the same thing when AG was first offered the job here. We couldn't really tell anyone, but the thought of moving 1800 miles away from everything I knew and was familiar with was making me want to burst.

Comment by Kiwi on April 22, 2010 at 10:11am: That would be pretty awesome. Texas has all the Red Dirt music without having to actually go to OK.

Comment by Mamawho on April 22, 2010 at 10:13am: Really, I'm shocked that I'm so excited about maybe returning to Texas. I am actually entertaining the idea of buying a house, which I've never really thought about. I'm quite happy renting.

I've even run over ideas for xeriscaping a yard. Maybe it's just the drugs. . .

Comment by Boring User Name on April 22, 2010 at 12:39pm: So, the Texas crew is excited for you! I was hoping to make it to D.C. at some point and see some OSers while there. I'll finally make it and you will probably all move away...

Comment by MamatothaMax on April 22, 2010 at 8:02pm: We've been in the same house for over a year and it's driving me nuts. I feel you on the itchy feet.

Comment by Mamawho on April 23, 2010 at 4:47am: Oy. I'm in my 19th house in 15 years.

I may be nomadic . . .
