Thanks to all my former co-workers that came out to Red Hook with me last night to wish me well. I’ve been fortunate to have been able to work with so many great people over the years, and I’ll miss you very much.

MJ – What’s with ordering a Blonde, and not even finishing it? ;)

Cheers!

A new adventure…

March 29th, 2007

I might be crazy, but after years of working in a good-paying job with great benefits and people, I’ve been yearning for growth, and I’m leaving it all behind. Trading in my fluorescent-lit, air-conditioned cubicle for a job teaching English a world away in hot, sticky Indonesia.

I turned 30 this month, and what better time to start a new adventure? So, here it is… My husband and I are selling most of our belongings, giving our beloved kitties to some friends, and leaving all the people we care about behind. There are sure to be many tests of my patience and understanding during this adventure. I’ll be sure to post them here, as I know that some of you reading this are living vicariously through me. I hope I’ll be able to offer some laughter as you sit in your comfortable office, and read of my wanderings. I’ll update this as often as I’m able. For now, I’ll leave you with a quote that sums up my current feelings about this life-changing time.

“Attitude is the difference between an adventure and an ordeal”
