Trying New Things and Starting to Believe In Better

This was a long-anticipated weekend… and it actually lived up to every expectation. I am so happy right now! (Cue Pharell’s “Happy,” which I was humming the entire length of my flight back to Dallas this morning.) On Friday, I boarded a flight from Dallas to Denver, with three suitcases checked and one more in carry on. Whenever I see people checking a bag, my snarky reaction is always to imagine asking “oh, you’re moving somewhere?” (Seriously, people, there is no reason to check a bag if you’re traveling for less than 21 days.) But this time, I was indeed …

Visiting My (Former) Home

travel / 3 Comments

I can already tell this weekend is going to be a strange one. It may be Thursday, and I may be flying my “usual” DFW-LGA route, but it feels like anything but normal. (Apologies in advance for how disjointed this post will likely be, since it’s pretty rambling with all the thoughts going through my head right now.) First of all, while I used to fly this route every week, it’s actually been a month since my last flight anywhere, which is crazy to me. I think that’s the longest I’ve gone in about eight years without getting on a plane! …

Baby Steps to Settling

Things have been a little rough around here lately… but, I have finally signed the lease on an apartment in Colorado, which is the start of me settling into a new life there. Hooray for that! I took Thursday/Friday off work and flew out to Denver with a lot of questions still in my mind about where to live. I knew what my top pick for a suburban property was (a gorgeous Italian-inspired community in Broomfield), but I decided that I ought to at least check out a few places that were more urban. I focused my search on the …

You can take the woman out of the city… or can you?

travel / 24 Comments

Things are super crazy at work right now with a huge go-live – and I’ve completely flip flopped my schedule. I’m basically on Switzerland time – going to bed at 2pm-3pm CT and waking up at 11pm CT to get to work by midnight. (Too bad I had to work normal hours for the three days after my trip to Paris, or I could have just stayed on the same schedule since then and I would have been all set.) So perhaps it’s just the exhaustion that comes with sleeping when it’s bright out and heading to work when everyone …

Living Up In The Air

travel / 17 Comments

Today I moved out of NYC. (Gulp.) After a really fun goodbye party with my friends on Saturday, I settled down on Sunday to packing in earnest. I did a lot of cleaning out over my Christmas vacation, but it wasn’t till Friday that I started making a lot of headway with actually getting things into boxes. Yesterday, though, it was do-or-die time: my goal before bedtime was to be completely packed except for toiletries, blinds/curtains, bedding, and other miscellaneous things I needed for my last night at home. I actually reached my packing goal around 11pm, hitting the sack …
