Hello old blog. Or rather, hello, newer blog I barely began before stopping, that piggybacked off my old "Where Are the Fischers" blog about living as expats in India. (Longest, most confusing sentence ever). I've got the itch to start blogging again. So, I'll scratch it and see how it goes...
What brought that on, you say? (And by "you say," I really mean, me, since everyone else that knew I was blogging is long gone.) echo...echo...echo...but wait, I can Facebook myself! How self-indulgent is that?
Well, we're moving again. This time to Texas. Which by my liberal definition does qualify as another country. Seriously. I know very, very little about Texas, except to say that it produced George Bush and is responsible for Perry, And I am moving there. Gulp. (See the term liberal above for more on my political leanings).
"But, at least it's Austin." Which is what every single person says. I have never been to Austin, but I am quickly learning that if there is anyplace in Texas where a tree-hugging, liberal, agnostic, unschooling, pro-gay everything, world-traveling, trad foods eating, attachment parenting writer/poet oddball, doula, midwife student, yogi is likely to feel at home, it is apparently in Austin. See, I am a freak. I accept this. Bob is used to it. The kids have been warned that there is a genetic predisposition towards it. The dog is my sidekick. People who know Austin and who know me seem to believe it will be a good fit. And the universe does seem to be providing me with all kinds of signs that this is true.
There you have it. Bob left yesterday and started his job today. We move at the end of February. We're leaving a lot of amazing friends and communities and opportunities and that is always hard. On the other hand, world traveling doesn't work if you never leave and I've never been one to shy away from the blessings of adventures and friendships not yet conceived.
Maybe we'll actually get some visitors!
Namaskara!

It does sound like an exciting adventure, and isn't that what life is all about anyway, in one way or another? Hope you keep posting so I can keep up with you?
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you and your new adventure. I think Austin sounds amazing! You might see me at some point, I have lots of relatives and friends in Texas and have been wanting to do a Texas tour, I'll keep ya posted! But, before then you have to come by the shop sometime before then and say hello/goodbye! (PS, I think this is going to be "the year of the blog" for me).
ReplyDeleteLook! I have comments! Self-indulgence works ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really hope that both Goofy Mama (roadtrip, Allison! I am sure there are giant balls of yarn somewhere) and Covet come to visit me (Christy...I can't believe I haven't come to you shop yet...boo me. But definitely, come and see us anytime).
