coming up for air

Hold the phone: I moved in!!!

Yep. Crazy. A home with an address. Me. Whoa.

Don’t you worry your pretty little heads- this girl is still going to continue the road trippin’ and exploring. That will never stop. People started thinking I was in the witness protection program and the post office told me I they had to cut down 64 more trees to keep up with printing change of address forms for me, so I thought I’d stop, breathe for a spell, and help save the planet. (Ok, maybe I am fibbing a bit about that post office thing…)

As promised, a big ol’ announcement is coming. There will be some updates and changes here to the BLR site. The adventures continue.

Hints you ask?

Chocolate.

Maine.

Anyone have a guess?

a little update love

I should be a real estate agent! I officially know every rental company, street, neighborhood and building in the city of Chicago. What a week of emailing, calling, searching, meeting, touring, etc. rentals around the city. I could write a book just based on the interactions and events of this one week. Fingers crossed I think I have secured a fab place to call home base! (I picture a rooftop blizzard wine party in my future. Eeeek. I need some winter gear.)

Among gaining some mad skills on using the refresh button on the Craigslist apartment rental ads page, I have been running a ton, (inspired by Forrest Gump and next weekends Chicago Marathon), working job #2 and of course prepping a fun upcoming announcement that you will all hear in about a week.

What’s everyone else been up to out there?

Here’s to Thursday!

automated “vacation” message

Yep- this is mine. (Well, sort of.)

I’m amidst an apartment hunt in Chicago, working job #2, and putting together Honda trip wrap-up!  The regular Blue Lollipop Road fun/posts might be a bit delayed these next few days as I tackle my pile of tasks, so thanks for being patient with me. If I only had an assistant, a trust fund, or could split myself in 3!

Besides the above, there’s something else in the works too that I will look forward to sharing in the next couple weeks. You didn’t actually think I was going to disappear did ya? 🙂
