Hi Bloggies! Thank you so much for all of your kind words on my new job. I had to keep quiet for a few days while everything got sorted, so being able to finally share my excitement with you made it all the better . In case you can’t tell, I still can’t believe this is my life right now!

Having said that, things are still pretty nuts over here. I’m finishing up my part-time work at Hume, have started my new position at Delaplane and am still living under my sister’s kitchen counter (in other words – I need to find an apartment!). You would think that after finding a job, fining an apartment should be a breeze but I’m starting to think that it’s actually the more complicated task. Boo.

Anyway, that was a long way of telling you that Dining and Dishing is going to have to be scaled back for a while. I want to do the best work I can and settle into my new life as best I can and so that’s where I’ll be focusing my attention. In the meantime, I’ll still pop in as much as possible. And hopefully (one day) when I’m settled in at work and settled into my new home, I can come back more frequently. I hope you understand!

But what is a post without photos. So please enjoy the re-cap of our wine tasting extravaganza last Sunday…to celebrate new homes and new jobs and new lives and new beginnings for everyone!

At least when things get crazy, you’ve got good friends  in the same boat to laugh and cry and celebrate and commiserate and drink too much wine with .
