The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...

The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

[JenB]

No, come as soon as you want! We just may have close quarters for a while ;-)

Seriesly, the sooner you come and get settled, the better.

[JenB]

Heh, well, the foreign students at the department seem to manage but...

[HairOfTheDog]

I have decided once again that I'm not getting married until I'm finished with school.

That's 'cuz you haven't met him yet. Changes your priorities in a heartbeat, it does ;~D

[JenB]

Yeah, and I'm not saying I wouldn't give all this up for the right offer (I think I'd get my master's degree, at least)

But man... and I sure as heck wouldn't want to do it alone.

[Corin Stormhands]

I'm pinging the remaining right coasters on this. You know, I'm beginning to notice a pattern and I'm wondering just exactly what is going on...

g'nad moved west from Virginia...

OT moved west from North Carolina...

ecurbh moved west from Minnesota...

And now Rosie is moving west from Vermont...

Hmmmmm....gives a whole new meaning to "Into the West."

[Lil'freeper]

I'd rather be west. (being from there and all....)

[Alkhin]

agreed there - no, one does not want to attempt to do massive brain work while trying to deal with a teething infant. One of the blogs on my blogroll is entitled One Sixteenth, with the theory that each child brought into the world steals one-sixteenth of the brain's capacity to function.

Not meaning to be down on babies, but the energy it takes to take care of one easily wipes out any other intention of its use.

Then again, I have heard of some very organized mothers, rare creatures that they are. They are the ones that talk about how good their babies were. I just smile and wonder if they will talk the same way when their child is older and decides to throw them for several loops.

[Corin Stormhands]

mmmmmm....West....

"Why don't ya come up and FReep me sometime..."

[JenB]

Ahem... you missed someone...

[Corin Stormhands]

They are the ones that talk about how good their babies were. I just smile and wonder if they will talk the same way when their child is older and decides to throw them for several loops.

Jr. rarely cried, was almost never sick, and was the perfect charmer in public...need I go on? ;-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Doh! So I did. Many apologies. I think I've just gotten used to you being out there...

[JenB]

Hehe... I've gotten used to being out here, too...

[RosieCotton]

Woo-hoo! I found a route that doesn't go through Canada. Granted, it'll probably mean a little more traffic since it goes through Ohio and PA rather than rural Quebec and Ontario, but I dunno that I wanna deal with the border stuff with an obvious van full of stuff plus a pet.

And it's a little shorter, by about three hours. Of course, traffic could nix that, but...

Speaking of traffic, I wonder if we should try to do this at night as much as possible. Margaret's a nightowl anyway, but I'd have to get used to it.

[Sam Cree]

Pretty sure I am staying in FL, with time spent in VA - least if I can make things happen the way I want to.

But I guess one day we must all diminish and go into the West :-)

[RosieCotton]

Interesting...

[Sam Cree]

back later

[Alkhin]

HEh heh heh....I'll just smile....

[RMDupree]

And you're not counting those of us who would love to move West if'n we could!

My sister is considering transferring to our Denver, CO office. So she may be yet another to move West, even if she isn't an "official" Hobbit Holer.

*quickly dumps donut in trash*

Think about all the starving kids in Africa!

[JenB]

The PA/Ohio route is the way I came. There are a number of toll roads that way, so calculate that in!
