Intro

Hey guys!  I posted to Jaye #1 over the weekend but I thought I'd introduce myself.  I am now Jaye #2 (anyone else watch "Scrubs" and now have the "Hi #2" line stuck in their head?), I currently live in San Diego but my husband and I are separating and next Monday I am driving to Wisconsin with my dog to live in a cabin in the middle of the woods for three months.  It's sort of my temporary escape from life.  In September I have decided to move to Phoenix.  I have some friends there and appreciate how affordable it is there (compared to SoCal!) and am very excited to call it my new home!  I believe I'm going to be living in Glendale to start but hope to buy a place within the next year.

So... a bit more about me!  I have the one profession you are not allowed to talk about on these boards and I also run an eco-living blog.  I also like to work with kids and animals and until last year I worked as an educator at an animal center here in SD, so I'm hoping to maybe get a PT job in the same field if anyone knows of any leads for me.  :)  I enjoy knitting, sewing, and doing other such crafts.  My claim to fame is appearing in about 40 episodes of the TV show "Veronica Mars" in seasons 2 and 3. 

Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of you when I get there in September, in the meantime I've loved lurking on here and getting to know you ladies over the last couple of weeks and get a small taste of life in the Phoenix area.  :)

Re: Intro

  • Welcome to the board. I'm so sorry to hear about your separation. I think you will have a blast living in a cabin for 3 months with just your dog! :-)

    How exciting that you are moving here in Sept. You will love it!

    I've heard of the show Veronica Mars but I can't remember what it's about or if I ever watched it. Pretty cool that you were on 40 episodes...that's A LOT!!!

  • Welcome to the board! I loved Veronica Mars! Gosh, I almost forgot about it actually, haha!

    You'll be moving here at a great time. Just when it is starting to cool down. I think you'll love it. From what I've seen of Glendale, it is a nice area!!

  • Welcome! As most PP said, sorry about the separation. I am a tad confused about the "one profession you can't talk about on here" I'll have to look it up. :) If you haven't already, you can join the meetup.com group and keep up on the GTG's we have, hopefully when you get here we'll have something planned!
  • Hello! Where in Wisconsin? DH is from Wisconsin, and we lived there for 4 years. That's also cool about the TV show. I'll be honest...I didn't watch the show but that's pretty awesome you were on TV.
  • And also, if you need yarn store recs, let me know. I'm a knitter (although in hibernation now because I don't have much time to knit).

    Wisconsin Rapids which is about half an hour south of Stevens Point.  

    And I may just take you up on that yarn store offer when I get there!  I usually order online but it's fun to store-shop, too!  Though I honestly have not knit in forever... I'm so busy sewing lately I rarely have time.

    I'm a photographer.  *ssshhhh!*  For whatever reason you can say your a doctor or a teacher, but the moment TN/TB/TK finds out you're a photographer you get banned.

  • Hi Jaye!  Welcome to the board!  I am so sorry to hear about your separation.

    I look forward to chatting with you! =)

    We have a few of those forbidden "P" words on this board and so far, they've been pretty safe. I think so long as you are not advertising a shoot here, they are pretty OK! At least on the AZ board... haha!

  • I know exactly where that is. We have friends that live near there. Have fun in the cabin. I'd love a summer in Wisconsin; drinking beer and grilling out with friends, sitting out by the lake at night.
  • Welcome Jaye#2.  I am sorry to hear about your seperation, I hope you enjoy your time in WI.  I am looking forward to getting to know you more and hopefully once you are out here you can make it to a GTG.

  • Hello number 2!  What an exciting goal set you have in front of you!

     I live in Glendale-woot woot!  We can be all Mr Rogers and such!  Watch out you east valleys chicas-- we're building our numbers!  Looking forward to getting to know ya better!

     

  • Welcome to the board!  Looking forward to meeting you (along with everyone else on this board I haven't had a chance to meet yet!).
  • Hi Jaye!  I'm Jaye - It's nice to meet you :)  Seriously, I've always wanted to say that and never thought I would be able to! 

    I'm really looking forward to you moving down here.  I think it should be a requirement for all Jaye's to be friends, or maybe just the ones that have a lot of similarities.

    You were in VM?  Now I have to go check out the show some more since I have the first two seasons on DVD! 

  • Hi Jaye, welcome to the board! I looooove the Glendale area (I worked in Glendale for several years). I think you'll really like it. I hope you have a relaxing, de-stressing summer in WI. Look forward to meeting you at a GTG sometime!
