Hither, whither and how!
Lord, I can’t wait to move out of this house. We brought everything back from the storage unit (long story) and it’s stacked, boxes floor to ceiling, in various rooms. Nothing is where it should be. It feels like a cave of Wicker Wonders in here, and it’s making me claustrophobic.
We have yet more packing and dismantling to do, and phone calls to make, and temporary address changes to file. Next week we have an ill-timed stretch of promised dog-sitting to undertake, and I hope we can coincide that with some house hunting.
In Pennsylvania.
Buried the lead again! ha ha.
So the cat’s out of the bag, we’re packing up house and home and moving to Pittsburgh in, oh, three weeks or something ridiculous like that. After the dog-sitting but before Iain’s starts the new job. We’ll be living out of boxes in my in-laws’ spare room for the foreseeable future (starting in August), so my paltry posting will probably either skyrocket in frequency (I predict many Starbucks runs) or drop to near-record lows (inertia is my enemy). Just fair warning.
I have a big Moving Post I want to write, and of course a Farewell to Baltimore post, and lots of other things, but with so much to do and so many tiny little people trying to help me do it, I don’t figure you’d better hold your breath. The mind is willing but the dial-up won’t be able.

Oh, I’m so excited for you guys! And what better way to check out housed sans children than to leave them with Grandma and Grandpa? Good luck with the packing and piling and sorting and such. I can’t wait to hear more!
p.s. I totally understand the Starbucks runs. You need your sanity.
Pittsburgh! Welcome! I hope you’ll love it here as much as I do. It really is a great place to raise a family. If there’s anything I can do to help out, let me know. Where will you be looking to live? Don’t know if you’re leaning towards the suburbs or the city, but let me put in a plug for the city - it’s got a lot going for it.
Oh, wow! And yes, get thee to the nearest Starbucks.
good luck! we’ve moved now too. let me know if you want to do a final playdate in our spiffy backyard (after the heat wave) or inside (we have some window units in.)
congrats on the move/changes!
happy hunting! Here’s to no green carpet this time around.
Welcome! After growing up in Pgh., I lived in the DC/Balt. area for about 12 years. Loved it. Met my husband in DC, and moved back to Pgh. when we decided to start a family. We call it the Pgh. spawning ritual - just like salmon. You grow up; move away; and then come back to have your kids. I know so many people who have done it, it must somehow be almost unavoidable. You’ll probably find the city a little less cosmopolitan than your area, but the (much) cheaper housing and good schools might just make up for it.
See you soon! You’re welcome to use my internet connection to post whilst you get settled in a permanent location. It’s not dial-up anymore. Can’t promise the house won’t be messy though. I could use some redecorating tips. Looking forward to seeing you all.
New town, new environment, new people, new home, new shopping. I’m so excited for you. Wish I could lend a hand.
Oh, I’ve lived in this town since 1993 and have “been over it” for about 3 now. So ready for something new.
Congratulations! Very exciting. And thank god and al gore for the internets - how on earth did people do long-distance home buying before now?
