It’s so scary re-locating…we both moved recently to new spots in the country. Especially when you’re not in your 20′s anymore, and everyone has really established circles. But it’s true- as long as you stay true to who you are, you’ll be just fine. XO

I just came across your blog, and this post. I’ll be relocating cross-country soon and sometimes the thought of starting over again is intimidating beyond words. You have shown me that I just need to bring my inner black swan attitude with me and I’ll be fine. Thanks!

Ran across this old post tonight (Some good things come out of insomnia.) Love the photo and the story!

Ok…I don’t even *know* how i have made it to your page…i just know that i admire that you weren’t sure how these new friends would handle you throwing yourself into things BlackSwanStyle and that you did it anyway. I just know that I wish you lived in my ever-so-suburban world so i could have gone to your Oscars party (though even though I only saw Black Swan and no other Oscar nominated movies. Unless True Grit was nominated, i’m guessing was…how embarassing is it that i dont’ know…anyway, TG was a good movie!) and i SO would have worn my black tutu (that really is my almost-5 year old daughter’s and would have likely cut off my circualation but i’m not ready to talk about how that’s a problem) and it would have been lovely. or wine-fabulous which i’m pretty sure is not only a word but completely awesome. but anyway. the point is you just go being a really good mom regardless of wine (which i am totally all for) or not for wine (which seems sad, but you know, like whatever….) and we will still love your blog and get the point that you’re sending out into the universe which is “i love my kids but sometimes frankly they suck but they are still awesome and sometimes i still need a break and so on and so forth” and we support you.

ok, gotta nap now. zzz.

I am crazy about any sort of litmus test and this one takes the cake. I want drinks with you and the FOUR!

Girl I so FEEL YOU on this!! I felt the same way when I moved to San Jose. Every social gathering was a “WHERE MY PEOPLE AT??” situation. And all too often, it was crickets that I got in response. But now, almost 7 years later, I totally found some great women of my tribe. They may not have quite the sick sense of humor that my Blanches in SF have, but they’re still pretty awesome. Hang in there. Next year, dress up as Kirk Douglas and see how that goes.
