Ready To Leave NYC?

I wan to move, but I am so undecided as to where right now. I'm in a bit of a fog. But, what I am excited about is the possibility of decorating. Last weekend I spent a day helping Jay paint his apartment. Did I ever mention that I love to paint? If I didn't, sorry, my bad! To me, it's a form of therapy, almost like meditation. So, in my "new" place, I am going to do all of the painting myself, and, of course, I'm going to get new furniture from either American Signature or Powell furniture. Now, all I have to do is decide on what state I want to live in. Any suggestions?
