Busy is as busy does. Or something like that. When I left St. Louis I was juggling a part-time writing gig for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a full-time job, a part-time adjunct teaching position at a local university and volunteer board positions, about which I felt strongly. In addition, I would periodically write articles for a few different publications, for pleasure more than money. In my spare time, I’ve maintained this blog.

Suddenly, I have one job, and this blog.

Now, my job as a public relations professional keeps me pretty busy and having two kids, as any mom or dad knows, is a time-consuming venture as well. Currently, I do not have any friends in Charlottesville (what? I’ve been here a WEEK!) unless you count my next-door-neighbor (who I really like but just don’t really know very well yet) and my very loose connection friend who is the freshman college roommate of a friend of ours from St. Louis (do I sound desperate?).

Anyway, I’m already considering what to do with my free time; writing, teaching, scrapbooking, cooking and reading are all favorite time-passers. Now it’s time to figure out where to do these things and with whom.
