Preoccupations

I'm not going to say too much, for fear of jinxing it, but things are looking up. Something that happened within the past couple weeks has breathed new life into me. It's putting butterflies in my stomach. It's making me lightheaded musing on the possibilities. Opportunities. Changes. Everything is too up in the air to talk about it right now, but some serious life changes are in the air. Which direction they go remains to be seen...

In more concrete news, the parents are going to be out of town for New Years, so my brother and I are going to throw a party at the house. You know you wanna come. Also, I'm going to DC at the end of January for Inauguration day. It's gonna be a big awesome party/reunion that will be super-awesome-funtime. Afterwards, I plan on road tripping down to Austin and staying there for a while (length of stay remains to be seen). There's a NASCO Board Meeting in Chicago the first weekend of February, so I'll probably fly up from Austin for that and then come back afterwards. Then, depending on what happens in Austin, I may or may not continue my road trip west to California. Or I might just stay in Austin. That's more up in the air. Suffice to say, a road trip is in the cards, and it's coming up soon.

I'm too excited...... 2009 is going to be quite a year. Anyone else as excited as I am?
