So.... it finally hit me. After almost 3 weeks of living in North Carolina, I officially miss New York. Not "miss it" like I want to move back, but I'm getting nostalgic! I'm watching the first season of Friends. Second Episode. The six sitting around Central Perk. I didn't realize how much I miss my friends from there. Casey, Regina, Meredith.... all my Sylvan friends... the Journey people. I miss them! I miss the idea of living in the city. I love the fact that I've lived in the greatest city in the world. I'll never regret our decision to move there.
What's wierd is that when I think of Friends I'll always think of our little "commune" group from Monroe (now scattered everywhere). Literally eating and playing together, living (almost) together, practically working together. Man, I'm nostalgic today!

Finally!
Well, it's official. We've moved. Our stuff was unpacked today, and our movers left LITERALLY 5 minutes ago. The first thing I did was sit on the couch. The kitchen's pretty much done. I stayed in there unpacking while the guys were loading in all the other boxes. 192 pieces/boxes/crates total!
Once we get our camera back to working order, we'll take pictures and load 'em up.... once KOD gets back online. It's in a box. Somewhere.
One thing we didn't have in NYC that we've got here.... wasps! I found a wasp nest on our patio ceiling this afternoon. It's a fairly new one. I didn't notice it the other day. It actually had little white, baby wasp eggs still in it. YECH! I had one of the mover-guys spray it with insect spray. Hopefully they won't get too angry and revolt! (the wasps, not the mover-guys)
Okay, I need to take a shower before the Man comes home to take me out to dinner. No, I am NOT going to cook tonight, even though we've got our pots/pans/etc back.
Later, gator! :-)

Time Flies
Hello you! Thanks for coming back, just to see what I'm up to, if anything. Sitting in my EMPTY living room, wondering what to do, what to dooooo....
Aha! I'll blog. I doubt it burns as many calories as I need to burn, but hey, whatever. Gerald and I have lived in NC for all of 11 days. Yeppers. Eleven days living out of a suitcase and sleeping on an air-bed. We got word today (finally) that our furniture and boxes arrive tomorrow morning around 9:00. So, for the next many days I'll be unpacking and arranging our home. I'm really looking forward to that chance. I wondered out loud to some NYC friends before we left: "I'm worried I'll spend my days doing nothing, just like I do when I have days-off of work." One wise gal said probably not... because my job will be to become the "home manager." It won't be a "day off" feeling. I hope that's true!
I don't know if I want to go back to work with Sylvan just yet. I love the company and how it can change lives (even mine, really!), and I hope to find my place in their center... in due time.
So, check back with me in about a week, and we'll see how I'm feeling about staying home. ;-)
