It’s amazing how dependent Stacey and I have become on WiFi with our blog. Since we started, we have never not had our posts up by the wee hours of the morning and part of me always fears my WiFi exploding at 2 a.m. and having to post later in the day. Luckily, like the tech savvy girl I am not, I scouted out all the places in my house where I can pick up someone else’s signal and at what time.

I know that between the hours of midnight and four a.m. I can randomly get on one of my neighbor’s signals from the edge of my dining room or near the back window in my bedroom. Sometimes it just seems easier to drive around the neighborhood at midnight until I can pick up a signal or just sneak into my neighbor’s yard in my pyjamas and blog from their hedges than calling for help.

So I really have to hand it to Stacey for being able to blog on time and so wittily from her life on the road. When Stacey and I first worked together at Bisnow on Business, I was always so impressed by what a doer she was. She could write five articles a day, photograph power-hungry realtors, be a great wife and a fabulous friend all while nine months pregnant. So what’s a little blogging from the side of the road every now and again?

Thanks to Stacey for keeping the dream alive while in house limbo. I’m so sad that she’s leaving DC, but of course thrilled for her new life of beach living and nautical-inspired ensembles. Bon voyage!
