Live! from Virginia

Yes, the princess is getting somewhat settled into a routine in her new southern location. I arrived on schedule Nov. 2nd and as planned spent this past weekend with my son at ECU. I knew I had missed him, but don't think I realized just how much until I saw him. It made it much easier to leave on Sunday knowing I was a mere 3 hours away and would be picking him up for Thanksgiving break in just a few weeks.

I've gone out with my girly-girl friends a few times already, but truthfully taking care of my business has been a priority. I really love the fact that I can truly concentrate on building my business. So many ideas, so little time. It's a juggling act trying to keep it all balanced. Of course, I know that this is just step one of my grand adventure as I have started haunting Craigslist looking for apartments in several different desirable areas. Part of this grand adventure is not knowing exactly where I'm going to end up. My friend is simply amazing for offering me a place to stay for awhile, but I don't want to lose sight of my goal. I'm a bit anxious to have my own place, even though I know it's going to be February before I can seriously begin looking for my new home.

My former landlord has not, as of yet, returned my security deposit. I unintentionally left a few items in the apartment and I was told he will charge for their removal. It was just a small bookcase tucked away in a closet and a few hidden items that I totally forgot about. Ah well, hopefully he'll return the remainder of the deposit soon so that I know exactly how much I need to save in order to expedite my move. I'll admit, I was irritated that he was so picky, since on an earlier inspection he had stated that I had left the apartment in excellent shape.

Speaking of changes, I'm seriously considering making some changes to Princess Girly Girl. I've toyed with some ideas and now am about ready to really work on them. I've made a Royal Proclamation to post here more often, and as my latest adventure unfolds it should be interesting. Heck, I may even venture back into the dating world now that yet another go-round with 'the heartbreaker' has ended. What is it about that man that keeps me going back for more anyway?
