How on earth did ds hendler figure me out? How did he know about my blog & the tv show? Damn. Now my cover is totally blown. I bet HBO will pull my time slot after the next season of “Sex in the City”. DAMN. So busted. No point in putting the webcam back online now. *sigh* (Yeah, it was going to be “NO Sex in the City” and my dull, no sex life would counter balance Samantha’s bed hopping.)
I have decided to put myself on an 18 month plan. When Jason finishes 5th grade, I want to move to St. Paul, Minnesota. Yep. I have had enough of H-Town. I have no ties to it, I hate the heat, I want to live by family. Heck, if I have a good year and make lots of commissions maybe I’ll go at the end of *this* school year. May, 2002. If I am frugal and work out a plan, it can be done. I may just put “MOVE” at the top of my wish list and put off the new couch, the new tv, and everything else. (No point in moving a new couch, when it would be easier to buy one there.) The only thing standing in my way is money. Isn’t that how it always goes? But I would want at least 2-3 months worth of salary in my pocket for the move. At least with so many family members in the area we should be able to stay with someone for a week or two while we look for a new place, I get a job, etc. I just read in my Franklin Planner that “A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline.” I can do it. I just have to work towards the goal.

Okay, I guess we’ll have to hang out as much as we can until you move. I can understand you wanting to get away from H-town. I don’t see how anyone could enjoy living there. *big grin*
Why don’t you come on down to Austin and bring the game! Hee hee. J/K!
but if you get to get out of this town soon, that would be great. i’m anxious to move as well…i better start saving up.
I think this anxious to move thing is in the air. Change is a good thing. (I keep telling myself that.)
The urge to move must be in the air. Lonnie and I are trying to decide what / where we want to do with our family. We’d really like to move out of the Texas heat, but our families are here. It’s a tough move, but can be done. I hope your plan goes well and all things work out for you.
Now you know I’ve been trying to get out of Hade… I mean Houston, for ages, too, chickypoo! I had doubts about moving TO Texas in the first place. Maybe we need to form a support group! How about Chicks Living In Texas? *grin*
I did have to tell mom that NO, I would not move to Bismarck – I prefer Minnesota, and I think the job opportunities for me are better there. Plus I have a lot more relatives in the Twin Cities area.
Yes, it -should- be Chicks STUCK in Texas, but then the acronym wouldn’t be nearly as amusing…. Hehe.
Good luck with meeting your goal, Christine. Having moved cross-country twice in the past three years, I think I’m finally where I want to stay, but it was never as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. Or maybe I’ve just done it so much that I’m used to the hassle? LOL 😉
I guess I’ll be the dissenting opinion and say that I actually like living in Houston. ~gasp~ There’s lots of things to do – we’ve got a zoo, the most kick-ass baseball stadium, some great museums, we’re a stop on the Drum and Bugle Corp tour (www.dci.org), we’ve got all kinds of fine arts and entertainment, a mix of all kinds of restaurants, clubs, and bars, AstroWorld, and a million other things. Yeah, the weather sucks, but I personally wouldn’t be caught living up north. Too damn cold. Anyway, just wanted to do a little defending of Houston since everyone’s so down on it and I like it here. 🙂
Hey, I don’t know if you knew this, but we’re also trying to move to the Twin Cities area. It’s not looking good right now… but we’re not giving up! See ya there!
