"Triumphal Progress"

I'm quite familiar with Barely Breathing; we’ve met on a number of occasions...even my horrid horoscope reminded me to breathe yesterday. Maybe there's hope for progress after all. Freddie seems to be triumphing over her thesis proposal draft (she should reward herself by printing up a Tigger coloring page and coloring it); I got some much-needed research started, some reading done, and part of the next 609 project partially done (I'll reward myself and go kill something in WoW). How about you Donna...are you making any progress? What's Weasley been up to, still on a treasure hunt for liquor? I feel like joining him.

On the home front, we've set dates for our road trips to Memphis. So, either Fi or Do asked how long I would be in Memphis. The answer is, for now, indefinitely. I have family there who need me as much as I need them now. Yes, we're packing up and getting the hell out of the high desert -- finally. I may already have a job lined up, but I don't have all the details yet. The director of the facility did reply back with a message for me to get in touch with him when I "have boots on the ground here in the Memphis area!" A job is good, a house would be awesome, but it’s a buyer’s market right now and we’re having trouble unloading our house. Argh!

We've been talking about moving to Memphis for years, threatening, planning, and now we're making some progress. The hubby and babies (they're not really -- 8 & 10) plan to be on the road by December 5th. The teenager (who often acts like a baby) and I plan to be on the road by the 17th. I'll miss many of the really awesome people I've met, my current job, and the smell of the creosote when it rains...that's about it. Omigod...I'll miss San Diego!!! I wish I had a suitcase big enough to pack them and take them with me. Anyhoo, if you ever find yourselves "walking in Memphis," email me, get in touch, or look me up.

Every Thursday there is a Farmer's Market near VVC. I think I'll take some time and some snapshots of the market as it looks much like an arcade. I may use it for my background. We’ll see. Then, I’ll get some Kettle Korn and go to work. Hopefully, I have time to get the picture. I don't know if they'll set up on Thanksgiving. I'm also thinking about dragging my husband out this weekend to take pictures of me getting inked. I haven't decided yet. I thought that I could use pictures of the process for my arcades project as well. I don't know how I will incorporate it yet (or even if I'll get around to going to a shop to get a new tat). How are your arcades projects coming along?
Still trying to catch up on sleep...fear that won't happen till I get to Memphis. --Til Tomorrow then.
