and there was much REJOICING

[Lamia of the Dark]

Congrats OkamiKodomo!

Boston is awesome~ (I've been there... one of the few out-of-state vacations I've ever taken. Of course, I did experience it during St. Patrick's Day weekend )

Gift_in_Edge, glad to hear she's better! Hoping she'll recover soon!

OkamiKodomo, congrats! Crossing fingers for things to go smoothly!

Congrats OkamiKodomo! I hope and pray you are able to find your way.

Thank you everyone for the warm wishes. :D

The decision wasn't hard to make. I've wanted to go back to the northeast for a while. Especially now. But the follow-through is going to be hard. I'll probably be scarce (well... more scarce than I have been, even... I've been lurking but I don't know that I'll have time to do even that much) until I'm settled up there.

A little dog found the family when they were walking up to the grocery store and they brought her home. One bath and bark filled night of trying to calm our dogs down we think we've found her peoples' missing dog ad on Craig's List and will be calling to hopefully send her home. Looks like someone stole her after Xmas and dumped her not long after.

Hahah uh.... cheapest area to live in the greater Boston metro area? XD

Lol, if my roommate and I weren't trying to find exactly that, I would help We've got the annoying situation where we have to find the perfect place between our two jobs, which looks like Concord area. You're going to Avon, right? Will you have your car or no? If you do, look in towns around Avon for cheap enough housing - Avon proper, Quincy, Randolph, Holbrook, Stoughton, Braintree, Weymouth, Canton, etc. Some of the gated community apartment places are probably going to be slightly pricey, but they're nice and quiet places.

Aww, it's good that you found her though! The reunion should be happy

I'm glad to see that it looks like things are going well for folks! I survived my crazy road-trip/move and I'm actually already unpacked. The dolls are set up in our room, out and proud on display, and I really couldn't be happier, life is kind of perfect for the first time in my life.

My husband (who was born in southern MA and lived there until her moved to GA to be with us) actually lived in Lowell and worked at MIT. It was at least an hour by either car or train for him to get to or from work. Sometimes as much as 2 hours in the wintertime. However, as Lowell is a college town, the cost of apartments was inexpensive enough for the inconvenience.
