couldn’t resist…

…the snow feature for the holidays.  It’s my random state of mind.

So, with the boys gone and the reality of the move set in, I’ve been packing and sorting and listing and fixing and scurrying and wringing my hands.  I couldn’t sleep last night, which isn’t like me.  I’ve found my atlas, and mapped out distances between stops, and just mulled over what it means to move from one coast to another.  The beauty of it is, it isn’t snowing here, and won’t be snowing there.  Just on the blog.

This has been a long week and I haven’t had any Mojo time as I’ve tried to adjust to my wildly fluctuating schedule with a new job, so I was really looking forward to spending my one day off communing with the Big Red Caboose. I know we haven’t had snow and I really shouldn’t complain but I am sick to death of the unending wind. Grr.

I am working on the blog round up, so it should be up in an hour or so….
