first post post-move

we're living on the second floor of my grandmother's condo. it's nice that it's here and available for us, but it's been a rough week, and i think both siouxs! and i willd be better off in a place of our own. siouxs! has a pending job offer with the school district i would have been zoned for had i not gone to private school, and it's a pretty safe bet she's going to take it. the benefits are phenomenal, so that alone makes it a great choice, but also the fact that we'd be closer to my mom (and consequently, further from the rest of my family) makes it an attractive option. now, to find a place to live.
my job search is still going. i have a few promising leads, but as of this weekend, i'm expanding my search to more than just booze wholesalers. it seems like everyone in the business here stays on until death, so openings are rare. chalk one up to the good ol' boy network, of which i am not a part.
re-exploring knox vegas is eye-opening. we've seen million dollar houses, and we've seen thirty thousand dollar houses. there are kalamata olives in the grocery stores. there's at least two frisbee golf courses. there are neighborhoods i never knew existed, and vastly updated streets. my home town is all groweds-up.

more as i get around to it.
