While "goin' upstate" usually means Sing-Sing or some other prison that is north of New York City, fortunately that is not the case for me. Husband and I are headed for a week of fresh air and fun with friends and family in the Catskills. Unfortunately, "goin' upstate" does mean limited internet access - I think even more limited than when we were at the Jersey Shore last summer. Sigh. I do love me my internet access. What's a vacation without blog reading?
However, I do hope that this week away will give me some time to take a very deep breath. It's unbelievable how many exciting, life-altering events have happened within the last month (quick recap: Off the Beaten (Subway) Track is available for purchase, Husband was asked to move to London for work, and I finally was accepted into the MFA program at New School; one thing that did not happen which needs to happen is a consulting contract, which should have started in mid-July but is dragging on forever, although in retrospect, I may have exploded if I took that on while all the other things were happening). If my time upstate allows me to calm down and stop anxiously picking the flesh off my cuticles, it will be worthwhile.

Sounds like exactly the vacation you need right now. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne,
ReplyDeleteOn our last couple of jaunts away from home for over a day my wife and I agreed no on-line stuff... her no on-line working and for me, whatever I do on line. In fact, we even left our laptop at home.
And we enjoyed what our trip was about more.
Amazone tells me my "Off the Beaten Path.." has been shipped. I hope it takes the beaten path.
Congratulations on the new book! I have a personal webpage called Off the Track. It must be Fate that led me to your blog link after link :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good trip!
Oh my; I'm with you on the cuticle biting habit. It makes me hate myself. Manicures help that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on New School and have a wonderful week away!
have fun sans technology!
ReplyDeleteWhen I met you last week, you never eluded I could get a pic with your beaver! I'll have to live with the generic pic I have of three fun and winsome women.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all this good news!
I also didn't know about your book. You gotta push it lady! I live in CA, but have lived in NY. I would have bought it right off you!
My husband and I did the long distance thing twice while I was in school. It's scary at first but very doable, and definitely adds character to the relationship. It'll be nice to have a place in NY and in London... you jetsetter!
It was great meeting you last week. Thanks for getting me to the Sesame Street room. My kids are eternally grateful.
