We are trying to work out logistics for moving west-ward, ourselves.
OOOH. SF area, right?

Yes!
It just seems to make sense right now, in a weird way- and we can't get it out of our heads!

“Not dead yet!”
Hey, is this the first step in your move west-ward or has Lewis gotten a job out there yet?
Nope. No job yet. Basically, the gist of the sitch is that in order to at least get a foot in with the game companies he'd have to be available for contract gigs, which he's cool with, but the companies won't even interview if he's not out there and ready to go. So basically, we're taking a big ol' dive into the deep end of the pool. We're going to move, we'll put our house on the market after we move (it always shows better with us out of it, primarily because of the dogs) and then he'll start job hunting again in earnest once we're out there. Although I don't know, he might put in some applications even before we move, but at least he'll be able to say that we're going to be out there.

That's how it happens and that's how you KNOW.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy awesomecakes, that's fantastic news!
How did the West Coast get so lucky? We always had excellent localistas, all the way from San Diego to Vancouver, but lately we've been the beneficiaries of a totally splendid Eastern Buffista migration. ita started it way back when and it's taken some time, but it's finally picking up some speed.
Who's next?

Barb, I just checked out your Flickr set, and ZOMGWOW, that is one beautiful house.

When I was job hunting in Chicago from Milwaukee (commutable distance even, though I never intended to commute) I was always careful to state in the first sentence of the cover letter that I was already in the process of moving. I'm sure there were still a lot who just went "non-local address, nope) but it got me through at least some doors.

I know, JZ, that would be great, but not likely without an exceedingly generous patron of the kind that only exist at the end of Dickens novels. Sometimes it is hard to read about all these fresh starts when you're not even sure you started once, ever.

Has anyone used Crest White Strips? The instructions say that you shouldn't use it right after you brush your teeth in the morning, but how long should you wait? 5 minutes? 30? I just brushed my teeth before I got into the shower, then put them on after I got out. Hope my teeth don't fall out.

Thanks, Jess. I think the thing I like most about it (other than my total grabby hands kitchen) is that while it's a really lovely house, it's easily the least formal house we've owned since our first house in Cleveland which was a little 1942 brick bungalow.
No crown molding or wainscoting or columns or any of those details that make a house feel formal. Not that I haven't enjoyed our houses that have been more towards the formal edge, but we never really quite fit in them, since we're really not formal people at all. This house is elegant and comfortable, but it feels like the house equivalent of a comfy leather chair that's nice and broken in.
