And the job hunt is in full swing

Well, we have been living in Illinois for three and a half years now. It's been an alright experience, but one I am ready to move on from already...and, the job hunt is now in full swing.

I think my husband has five recruiters from different parts of the country that he is working with right now. Arizona seems to be a front runner. We have two different recruiters from the Phoenix area working with him. It is always exciting when the recruiters are calling - it always reminds him just how valuable his skills actually are; something that he is so very good at forgetting.

It is, however, a nerve-racking time for me. I am juggling that fine line between getting us packed up too fast and not having us packed on time. I know that we will have at least two weeks notice before the move, as he always gives at least two weeks notice before he leaves a job.

I'm personally cheering for the job in Portland, Oregon. I would love to go back to the Pacific northwest. We were there about five years ago (northern Washington state) and I just loved it there. So, that would really work for me. But, Arizona is really nice too. I've been to the Phoenix area a number of times over the years - and goodness knows I can't get enough of Mexican food. And, the midwest has NOT been a good place to get good Mexican food - at least not when you were spoiled by what was available in central Texas.

I can't wait for the posturing to be over and offer to have been made and accepted. I just want to know where we are going and let's get the moving van packed and us on our way.

So, that is what is occupying my mind right now and it is keeping me from really enjoying my blog. I am working on my photography at DeviantART.com That is coming along fairly well. I have uploaded some of my REALLY old work from when I was in college EONS ago.

If you are at all curious you can see my work at: Whimsical-Lady

I haven't really worked with a camera in 20 years. Well, that was until a few weeks ago and then I went out to the local cemetery and took some photos. I am just starting to work inside the digital world. It is certainly different from film. But, I am working on learning it. To that end, there are some abstract pieces on my site that are from me just fooling around with Photoshop so I can see what the tools are capable of doing - prior to me actually working with photographs.

But, I am getting the pieces together now to do my first photomanipulation. We'll see how it goes. If it is even semi-decent I will post it here.

I'm off for the night. Hope to see y'all here in the future.
