The Beginning, or Action Planning

Oh power red! As I always totally figured, my amazingly handsome, astonishingly brilliant husband called me at 10:00 am this morning to let me know the big news! He got accepted into INSEAD. No it's not some secret superhero society or a futuristic spy agency, although it sounds like it could be either. It is, instead, one hell of an awesome MBA school. But best of all it's located in Fontainebleau. That's France, babies! 

It's a just short train ride outside of Paris, where B's (that's my husband) parents have what we here in red and blue country call a pied a terre. Sweet. That's cause B's father is French and his mother is a total francophile and they still have many family members in France. We wont be living there, though. We're going to try to get a place out on the grounds of some Chateau. Jeez, that's romantic.

So of course by 10:30 am I had an action plan typed into an excel spreadsheet. (I hadn't done it sooner because I didn't want to jinx anything.) Man, is action planning fun or what? The time table is really tight on this one because his classes start this January. Which means we have to accomplish this relocation in about two months. Never fear, though, Action Planner is here!

So, because of this, and many other changes: trying to make and sell jewelry, this horrible economy, our upcoming election, I've decided to start blogging. Then maybe one day, if we all aren't looking quizzically at our laptops and shaking them like etch-a-sketches because the seas rose, the nukes were fired, and we're all back in the middle ages again; well, in that case I'll have a document I can look back to remember these exciting, frightening and lovely times.
