Today is a good day!

Some of the threads lately have inspired me to post some good news. we always come here to analyze, vent, and seek support when things are down. so i wanted to share some good news.

So, some cools things are happening for me.
1)We moved! I no longer live in the same city as AP, I'm back where I belong, closer to my family and friends, ready for a fresh start with my H.

2)I start my first real tenure track professor position next week. Woohoo! I knew 823472348 years of school wasn't for nothing. Although, it pays almost nothing ;)

3)I'm halfway through my novel! (the one i'm writing, not reading...). i totally neglected it this year, it is drawn from my dissertation work, and i had a publisher grant me an advance to work on it. and i screwed around all yaer feeling sorry for myself and putting all of my time into my A, instead of into myself and my own career. i'm actually starting to feel like i've got some accomplishments under my belt!

4)My best friend from childhood is getting married to a wonderful girl this weekend. im doing a reading in the wedding, and am super involved with all the set up and stuff. i'm going to see so many old friends and i'm very excited.

Okay, so that's it for today. wanted to start things off on a positive note. when i say start things off, i also wanted to rub it in that its 10:30 am and im still in bed--muahahaha :)

love all you guys. i really feel like i have a community here, even when we argue, we really shore each other up. thank you all for your constant support. Happy Thursday!!

Ohhhh, EX!
look at you all rockin' it and shiz! Wow! very impressive!

Will we be able to read your book? It's not about the mating habits of beetles or somesuch, is it? You overly educated people make my head hurt with all those big words and lofty concepts. I guess I'd read it anyway... as long as it doesn't have any of those stupid vampires in it.

Good for you!!

Exi :)

I love threads like this because I truly believe that you get back what you put out there. Thank you for sharing your great news. But I hope your ass is out of bed now.

Having struggled lately with being so incredibly busy (which makes me stressed and tired and want XAP to take care of me...) Here are my positives:

1) I have a thriving business with exciting projects that keep me busy and support my family and my employee.

2) I have 2 amazing kids that make me proud every day. DS struggled this week with some 17-year-old growing pains that took my emotional reserves, but has come out of it healthier. We are going to take the day off tomorrow and road trip to look at a potential college for him. My way of giving him a glance into his future and what he is working so hard right now for. (Instead of flipping burgers for enough money to buy beer and drugs like the kids that gave him a hard time this week.....;) )
