A new adventure ahead...

There is a new adventure ahead of me.  While I have absolutely loved my time in Houston (and would recommend this city to anyone who is interested), I have been given an opportunity that I just can't pass up.  So, at the end of this month this blog will transition in a new exploration.

I shall miss all of the things that have made this city great.  The Art Car Parade, the Bayou City Art Festival, trips to Galveston, the rows and rows of restaurants, and especially Miller Outdoor Theater.

The hospitality of the folks of Houston is something I will always appreciate.  The forth largest city in the United States has many things to be very proud of and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself here.

Salut!

I moved...

A few posts ago, I mentioned that I was looking for a new apartment.  Well, over the Thanksgiving break I picked up and moved to the new place.

The doctor says that I will be out of traction in a few weeks...

Seriously though, I am as sore as sore can be... and even though that is whining for the sake of whining I have to admit that I have a whole new respect for movers.  Pushing a sofa up a flight of stairs is not easy.  Thank god I had a wonderful friend helping me with the heavy stuff.  She (and her daughter) were a god-send.

Another aspect of a move was the discovery of just how much stuff there was hidden in closets, in drawers, under beds, and lying about the floor.  I was in the last apartment for two years and I accumulated a LOT.

Now I have boxes piled up in the new place.  Boxes upon boxes.  I tried to empty them as I brought them over but as the end of the week got closer and the panic started to manifest itself, the boxes just started to get stacked.  I now have my weekends planned out for the next few weeks.

But it will be worth it... I now have a sushi place, an Italian restaurant, a pie shop, and a couple of Indian restaurants within walking distance.  Yay me!
