Hellooooooo!

Okay, so it's been a little quiet here since MARCH, but I think maybe some of you out there are still checking in hoping for a new post.

I have joined the facebook hype, so if you access to that, you can also check in with me there.

For those of you who don't, here's a quick recap of what has happened in the past seven months:

-I ended my job with Harcourt on June 30.
-Steve and I spent most of the summer looking for new jobs, enjoying the beach and zoo, and generally doing nothing during our forced vacation.
-In September, Steve got a job with Macmillan in NYC. I went to NY for a week to find an apartment. It was quite an ordeal.
-We moved from San Diego at the end of September. Steve started his new job October 1.
-I am still without a job. But I have lined up some freelance projects with other publishers. I'm staying in the game.
-Our new apartment is in Brooklyn in an area where several great neighborhoods meet. We are three subway stops from Manhattan. We have a brand new place complete with private roof access. (read: we have a our own outdoor space which is a luxury in the city. However, as it's getting cold we won't really be able to use it till spring.)
-The cats flew on the plane and did great. Cleo even rode on the subway. Both have adjusted to the new house.

That's about it.

Fall has arrived in NY. It's chilly and leaves are on the sidewalks. I haven't visited Central Park yet to see the trees, but I hope to do that soon before they are all gone.

Hope everyone is doing well.
