Add me to the list as a definite. And put me on whatever daytime stroller list there is, although I’ll have a nanny at night so you guys won’t have to worry about sneaking a 4yo into bars. We’re spending a month in corporate housing while we look for a place to live so we’ll be there through January 6th. Yes, we’re moving there, for real this time! Yay! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eutychus \* > \*\*Oh goody! I’ll have someone to not talk to! 😃 \*\* You might be surprised. I’ve changed quite a bit since Chidope. For instance, I’m a woman now! And 3 months pregnant! Well, that’s not true. The part about being a woman, I mean. But I HAVE changed, and I promise to chatter at, or at least talk to you. And a bunch of other people. Not only will I have fun in NYC, I will also Wang Chung. I fully can’t wait.
