Reporting Live From Omaha!

We've made it, folks! The Smoochy family has landed in Omaha. We flew in Wednesday and have been enjoying life at the Hilton ever since. Smoochy has started work..and is working hard on day two!!!! The baby and I have done some house hunting with our friendly neighborhood Realtor. So far, all I can tell you about Omaha is that their Hilton has softer towels than the D. C. Marriott; the down town area is very historic and cool; and the population is obviously friendly and intelligent as every single person we meet stops to lavish Normy with adoration. I think I'm going to like it here!

What is that...velvet?

Everything has gone smoothly with our move so far...with the exception of one little glitch...


Yikes! I was inside when the ramp dropped away from our car leaving the tires spinning and the poor moving guy with a load in his pants. So I missed all the excitement. Smoochy said he laughed the whole thing off; of course the moving company will cover any damage. Ha! But, this sure did make quite a sight.

Anyway, now we're here and doing the best we can to get settled in. Don't you think we'll be living in the lap of luxury for the next month or so while we buy a house; the whole while contributing significantly to the Hilton Family "Clean Up Paris' Image Fund". The truth is, Sunday we'll be taking possession of a small furnished apartment. Not exactly swanky stuff. Picture mismatched furniture, stained beige carpet, and wallpaper from 1985. At least it seemed clean enough. The best part is that we'll be able to start grocery shopping and cooking our own meals again. Living off restaurant fare and hotel breakfast buffets, though extremely enjoyable, is also wrecking havoc on our arteries and waist lines. We're still both slimish folks, but Smoochy and I have each gained at LEAST 10 pounds this month! Hello oatmeal, salads, and turkey sandwiches! Here we come! Next week... ;-)

Normy checks out corporate housing

Well, that's it for now, I haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately...but here's the latest Norm for you. He's enjoying his first taste of she-crab soup! Check out that tooth!
