Forming a Habit

There is something really unsatisfying about the type of title I just typed for this post. The type that is, essentially, exactly what the post is about. No pun. No joke. No creativity.

Why are you reading this again?

Anyway. In light of my upcoming move across the world (or a few states) I am re-committing to this blog and plan to make a habit of it. It's the best way I can think of to take you all with me.

...Which brings me to my next point: "You all" at this time consists of... three people? Four people? I used to link to my blog on Facebook until I felt awkward thinking about how many random people might be reading, but if someone has access to my Facebook, why not the blog? It's harmless enough.

Unless you are one of the morons at HEB. Then this blog might offend you.

Moving day is in April my friends! I will know the exact date once I lock down an apartment during my trip out there in March. In the meantime, the Bucket List is growing, but this is what I've got so far. I'll star the ones I've been to since the official list got started, but most of those are going to at LEAST need one or two more stars each. It's no surprise that most of the bucket list is food-related.

...Okay I don't think that did anything to create dramatic effect. So without further ado, THE big announcement. The one most people already know. The one that will change life as I know it in just a few short months!

(No, not pregnancy. Definitely not pregnancy)

Tomorrow I plan to make it official at work, so now it can be official in public (and by "public," I mean the handful that know this blog exists): I am MOVING to Fairfax, Virginia in April! Why, you ask?

To say we need a little more face time would be an understatement. The bottom line? We would really like to be able to have dinner and watch TV together on a week-night. The thought of being able to do something so normal is what I am most excited about.

So big changes are a-comin'. I am a big ball of nerves thinking about being so far from my family/friends, good Mexican food, Homeslice Pizza, and flip-flops in January, but I am looking forward to new beginnings, an excuse to buy one of those long winter coats, our nation's capitol, and that goofball I kinda like hanging out with.

Don't be fooled by the composure of this post.

I'm most definitely freaking out.

EEEEEE! :-P
