Still Stuck in Ohio

May 2008

Ok, this ridiculous housing market is keeping me in OH land when I want to be in OZ land. I guess the difference between the letter "H" and the letter "Z" hasn't been noted by any powers-that-be. I'm sure my house will eventually sell, and hopefully to my neighbors so her mom can live next door to them. But of course she's trying to sell her house too, hence the problem. I feel like my future life is "on hold". I'm still stuck at the same dreadful job with the same evil boss (caught him trying to set-up spy controls on mine and a co-worker's email today). I feel like I've had one foot out the door at work for the past few months, but with no concrete move date in sight my foot could be dangling for a few more months!!

Tom was here the weekend before last and we had a wonderful time with family and friends, but it was all too fast and short. I'm going there June 7 thru June 10, which I'm excited about.

So at this point in time, this explains why this particular blog doesn't have very many entries. I haven't moved to OZ Land .... yet!!!

On Moving to Oz Land

Soon-to-be-gone-forever Ohio house

Here I am, a life-long Ohio girl, ready to move to Kansas and start my new life! I'm getting married next week (March 14) and my house is in the process of being sold to my neighbors for their mother in Kentucky, so it's just a matter of time before I move to Kansas permanently!!!

Adventures and fun are sure to follow. With 3 horses, 1 dog and 3 cats already on the premises, plus MY 2 dogs and cat, we've got mucho animal responsibility right off the bat! But with 27 acres, there's plenty of room for more, and I'm sure more will find their way to us.

With nothing but blue sky above and wheat fields and pastureland for miles around us, I'm hungry for the country quiet, and the chance to remove myself from the city chaos. I'm excited to have this opportunity to live in a rural paradise, and even more excited to eventually share our humble dirt road with friends and family who come to visit.

I'll be updating my blog often, to give everyone a taste of the country life -- both when it's a bowl of cherries and when I trip over a horse pie.
