Hi all! John is away on an overnight A-100 retreat (which is apparently a lot of fun), so I don't have much to report in the way of FS news. Now that the list is in, there isn't much to do besides wait until the 17th and hope for the best.
But I did want to make an announcement! Starting on Flag Day (or shortly thereafter, depending on if I'm in the midst of a mental collapse or not), I will be introducing my new Foreign Service blog, "Most Eligible Family: the Foreign Service adventures of a runner, a writer, and a rugrat." I will link to it on Fridays, but I decided it would be best for people who are only interested in FS stuff to not have to wade through all my writing crap, and vice versa. Eventually all of the mommy-related stuff will probably end up on Most Eligible Family as well, since what it's like to be an eligible family member (EFM - basically a family member who meets the requirements of the FS) is a big part of what people are interested in when they're researching the Foreign Service. Scribble Babble will most likely go back to being my writing blog, and if I ever do get published, it will probably go away entirely. But that's a very big IF, so don't freak out or anything :)
Anyway, I hope you all will come by and check out my new bloggy when it's ready to go up. I'm still working on the design, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun. In the meantime, I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

How did you leave this out of your news today - that's exciting! Looking forward to seeing the new layout! Courtney
It should be interesting to see even though I'm not apart of the FS.
I'm freakin' out! Juuuust kidding. Excited to see the new blog!
Thanks Courtney! I'm trying to make it cute, but my lack of photo-editing software is making it a challenge!
I promise to make it interesting even to non-FS folks!
Sure, joke now - but you'll be sorry when Scribble Babble disappears!
ooooo i can't wait. i love new blogs. btw how are you 'working' on your new one. i'm trying to find a blog designer to spruce mine up but i dont want to pay an arm and a leg!
Hi!! Well, by "working on" I mean trying out templates in blogger and creating my header. It's not fancy stuff, just me, my iphone camera, and some pretty basic photo editing from picnik.com. That's how I did the layout for this blog as well.
