But I hate long drawn out good-byes, and I hate moving by myself.  I\u2019m funny that way.  As far as I\u2019m concerned, the sooner we leave our old neighborhood, and my husband\u2019s 45 minute commutes behind us the better.  As for the Computer Guy, he leaves for Morocco at the end of the month.  Last time I checked my map, Morocco is a long way from Oklahoma.  His new job includes travel, did I mention that?<\/p>\n<p>The kids are excited.  Computer Guy is checking and rechecking numbers to convince himself that we really can afford it, and I am standing here like a deer in the headlights.  What have I gotten myself into?  If house hunting turned my formerly brilliant brain to mush, what will speed packing do?  It\u2019s a frightening prospect.  If I were you, I\u2019d hang around and see what happens.  It will either be extremely impressive or the funniest darn thing you\u2019ve ever seen.  If I were a betting man, I\u2019d bet on comical.  I\u2019m not a man at all, so I guess I\u2019ll just wait and see.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We made an offer on our second choice today.
