Work has been more hellish than usual, but I probably shouldn't get into details here. Needless to say, I have decided to start exploring other options in earnest. I'm thinking that I eventually need to get out of Virginia - I love it here, but I want to broaden my horizons. And if I'm ever going to live somewhere else, now is the time of my life to do it.

have fun in egypt! i'm envious that you will be someplace where it isn't 30 degrees and snowing. we def. need to talk about new year's and visiting in general - i was thinking that now that i have a good car i might hop up there at some point... and i got some super sweet shoes that i would love to bust out if we do find something nice to do for new year's. anyway! travel safely and talk to you soon.
Maggie - frankly, I am looking a grad schools in those areas. So double "ha."
Liz - How many times do I have to say it? You + Me + Santaland Diaries = HELLS YEAH! Also, of course you should visit me - how's the first weekend of December look for you?
