More Notes from the Road...

UPDATE: Early this evening we got our first offer, from Arkansas. We have to turn the other irons in the fire before we make a decision, but at least we have one option right now. Let's see if we have any others.

Well, we have returned to Indiana, a little road weary and a lot confused. Arkansas is beautiful, and the Bentonville area is a wonderful place to live. Unfortunately, the job doesn't pay as much as we would like and it is not exactly what Ghost Hunk was hoping to do.

However, he is interviewing with the school in Indiana on Tuesday (so I guess we're going to extend our little vacation a bit.) Again, it's not ideal, but it's something. Still waiting to hear from Georgia. And still more confused about what to do "if"...

I'm afraid I dropped the ball a little on my WFMAD pledge over the last 2 days, so I'll have to work 45 minutes today. And wouldn't it just figure that I left my laptop at home! I didn't think I'd be ready for the actual drafting before we got back to PA, but I'm itching for it, now. But when it comes to the actual writing of the first draft, I'm a computer slave. Just can't function the same way with a pencil and paper. My fingers can't keep up with my brain unless I have a keyboard under them. Anyone else have that trouble?

Stay tuned for the LOUS's...that will put a smile on your face.

  1. Where at in Indiana? I grew up there, and still consider it "home" when I return.

  2. Wow! I grew up in Ft. Wayne, but my in-laws are in Indy. The job is in Columbus. How about you?

  3. Hey, I grew up in Michigan, just across the border. I'm sure something will come through for DH. Good to hear you're keeping that chin up.

  6. Okay, now your DH needs to come look for a job here in Alberta so you and I can meet up for lunch. Think he'd go for it?

  7. I don't think he's ready to move there, but surely he can let his wife take a little chick retreat to the great white north! That would be awesome!

  8. SO I just saw this message. I'm so bummed because today is pretty booked for us....except for possibly tonight. I actually don't have your email here at home, so email me if you can: nkuroiwa(at)myway(dot)com. Tuesday would work well for me too; although, I know it's your last day here.

  9. I'm so sorry you don't have your laptop along. I hope you can find other ways to write!

    Fingers crossed for the perfect job!

  10. Hey what a coincidence, I grew up in Fort Wayne, too. Very weird. I had no idea. What school did you go to?

  11. I graduated from Homestead in 1983. (Can it be 25 years already--Yikes!) Amazing how small this crazy world is.

  12. Wow, I definitely know Homestead. Such a small world. How funny. That's where a few of my nieces and nephews will most likely go when they reach high school age. I was on the other side (well kind-of outside of town) and went to Leo. But several years after you were there, since I graduated in 1998. It does feel like time flies for me as well.

    The internet feels so big and so small at the same time. Too weird.
