There's a New Girl in Town!

Well not yet, but there will be a new, albeit temporary, resident of the Big Apple starting Tuesday.

I'm not the ambitious sort of career gal. I've done just fine sitting back waiting for the next good thing to happen. I've never had a clear goal in mind, just an idea that I'd like to be paid good money for doing fun stuff. And *poof*, just like that, it has always happened. Mind you, I've had months where I hated the people I worked with, hated the work environment, hated my life...but I never hated the job. How many people get paid to travel and meet exciting new people?

So once again it's happening. I was checking my Blackberry last night, and a frantic e-mail went out asking for a volunteer to coordinate a work effort. I'm a team player, so I said I would do anything if I was wanted. And I was! I was just sitting back waiting for good things to happen, and wouldn't ya know it, they did!

Busy, busy life right now. My kitchen remodel is (finally) going to start tomorrow morning. Knock on wood. The foreman did a walk-through today and dropped off a garbage trailer in preparation for the demolition. And I need to spend the next 4 days getting ready for my move to New York, especially in the fashion area. I am not Sex In The City ready by any means, so plan to spend the weekend at Macy's and Nordstroms. Wonder if they sell long underwear?

Tuesday I hop on a plane to LaGuardia airport, and get in a taxi to our lodgings - none other than the famous Waldorf=Astoria, inventor of the Waldorf Salad, Eggs Benedict, and the Rob Roy. I'll be living there until the night before Thanksgiving, when I'll fly back to Texas for a nice long weekend. Then I go back until December 18th before I go home for Christmas and New Years.

And just like magic, I'll have a new kitchen when I come home! Knock on wood.
