Ch ch ch changes

Its been a while since I've been able to delve into the world of blogging, but I didn't want to write until I had more than a moment to jot down some thoughts. Life's been a bit hectic, with the new job, the new home, travel for the new job and turkey day in the mix, my world has been topsy turvy. But this weekend we've gotten some quality unpack time, and some quality Stargate time and I'm feeling a little more back to my normal self.

So yes, the jersey girl has left jersey. Although I haven't gone too far, we made it only to Staten Island. But although the commute to work is an hour, we have a fabulous place. It's about the same size as our old one, with a backyard so I can actually get some tomatos into the ground this summer. Problems is the kitchen is a bit smaller and, well, you know me. If we packed 65 boxes of stuff, 20 was books, 20 were for the kitchen, 10 were pottery and 15 were for the rest of the place. So unpacking into a small kitchen has left a few challenges, but I think we will be able to manage.

And speaking of kitchens, I know life got back to normal when last night I cooked my first meal in the new place. An easy pot roast, potatoes and my favorite kale salad made the night seem just right.

So happy belated Thanksgiving to all. And if you know anything about "the island" fill me in, cause while we found the movie theatre, the mall and a supermarket it's nothing like my farm stand, pottery studio, quail farm location of the last place.
