We are the proud renters of a house!!! It has its own 4 walls and *everything*!!!! Yay.

kassrachel and yaoobruni are wonderful hosts, as most of you know.

While not running around looking at apartments or exploring, I was mostly a hermit on my trip, because well, I could. I got to sit all by myself and read books and not deal with other people or their demands. I don't get that opportunity much (or ever). So I was non-social, and I didn't get to see anyone while there. But there will be plenty more opportunities for that later.

I read many books while gone (all titles and authors off the top of my head) - including Three Junes, by Julia Glass, which I really enjoyed. The Commitment, Dan Savage's book about marriage (pretty good), a whole lot of Dykes to Watch Out For collections (yay!), and much of Anne of Green Gables (it had been a while - yay again!).

Um.

I could rant a tiny bit about my trip home, which was mostly fine (United sucks, "on time" does not mean "we have landed" to me but "We are getting off the plane now" (related: to the ground crew at Dulles - I don't care if it's raining and other people gatechecked their bags, I want off the freaking plane! so unlock the doors!), stupid girl from Florida sitting behind me needed to STFU). Ahem.

Anyway - we leave SOON. Wow.

ETA: I also read Tender At the Bone by Ruth Reichl. Very good.

oh YAY on finding a place! i know how stressful that can be.

(you did remember to check for a roof, right? i mean, having 4 walls is good, but a roof is key!)

I haaaaaaaaaaaate sitting on the plane, on the runway, looking at the airport. I did that in Dallas in March, for fourteen thousand years. Or maybe 45 minutes. But that's the same, and I was hungry, and there were noisy loud-talkers on my plane too.

Congrats on finding a place, and on lots of quiet reading time!

Congratulations! Is it the place D took pictures of?

It'll be nice to see you when you arrive for real.

[kcobweb.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed. A lovely little quiet street.

Sorry I didn't get to see you - but yes, there will be plenty of further opportunities. :)

Hooray for finding a roof for over your head. :) I bet that makes the move seem much more real.

Good luck with the packing and myriad other details.

Congrats on the house!

Too bad about there only being 4 walls though. For interior spacing, perhaps cubicles? :)

Score. Whereabouts be Chez EB?

See you soon.

Literally right on the township line between Williamstown and North Adams. Conveniently located right off Route 2!! Close to shopping, restaurants, outdoor activities, and more!!

(My Wednesday turned out to be somehow a little crazy - so I'm glad we didn't try to get together. Soon soon soon!)

Yes. Yes. Yes. Apparently I'm going to be coming through that neck of the woods several times over the next month... and then perchance I shall live no more than an hour away. Yope.

That sounds fantastic -- I can't wait to see!!
