I have been living in New England, more specifically Cape Cod, for almost two months now. When I moved up, I was still wearing flip flops and tee shirts. Now, I learned how to layer to keep the wind at bay, I know how to keep my feet warm, and I have also started wearing a knit cap to keep my head warm and to keep the wind out of my ears. One thing I know for sure...the wind rarely stops blowing. Not sure if it is because we are surrounded by water or not, but it sure has me styling BIG hair most days!
I sure miss my boys and hope to see them in the not too distant future, but in the short amount of time I have been here, I have gotten my new drivers license, Cape Cod license plates on my car, and I got a job! Yes, a job, and in a much shorter length of time than it took to find one in Greenville. I am the front office person for Miracle Ear, in South Dennis, and it is exactly 3 miles from our house. I got lucky!
We have decorated our tiny house as best we can, given the fact that we have no room to do much. We have garland and lights outside, and wreaths on the doors. No village, though. No place for it. Next year....
Tonight we drove down Route 6A with the intent to take photos of some of the more beautifully decorated historic homes located there. The phone didn't take such good ones, though so we are going back tomorrow night armed with the camera. Hopefully I will have some lovely ones to share.
Have been baking Christmas cookies for the last few days. Tomorrow I finish the baking, and start packing boxes to ship out for Christmas. Sit tight...pictures to follow!

Winter? Spring?
Anybody out there been able to figure out how a rodent can decide if we're going to have 6 weeks of winter still to go? If you think about it, no matter whether he sees his shadow or NOT, there's still six weeks before spring. I don't get it....
It's been a while since my last post and I just realized it had been a whole month! I started back to work on January 3 and it's been a long, LONG few weeks. I'm learning what is expected of me; what my job entails, and how the process works. It's detailed, it's complicated and I have made more notes than I ever did anywhere. If it were not for this wonderful lady named Karen Stewart, I would be SO LOST. I probably would have walked out - for the first week I honestly didn't know if I'd be able to handle it. There's just SO much to learn. But you know, I am learning it! Karen has taught me everything I have learned; she is patient, kind, and she is very thorough and tolerant of all my 'why' questions. I tell you, I owe her everything. Thank you, Karen - for EVERYTHING!
Guess what? I have spring flowers already blooming. I saw yellow crocus' bloomng when I got in the car yesterday headed to work. Spring has sprung! At least here in SC it has. In other places, spring probably feels like a whole season away!
When it gets just a 'tad' warmer, I intend to start going out at lunch - I am downtown and plan to visit the State House Grounds on a regular basis. My lunch and I can hang out in the park with the squirrels and the Occupy Columbia participants loitering all around.
What do those of you who work do on your lunch hour? Do you stay at your desk? Do you walk? What do you do? I'd like to know.
