Making things happen

January 24, 2010

Things got monumentally worse yesterday. In Hubs’s and I’s quest for the #movenorth, we’ve, in so many terms…lost a lot of money. Gone into some debt for him to take his job. I quit a job, albeit a minimum wage paying one, but a fun one. I loved the gym. He was “consulting” and was [...]

Just what I needed

January 6, 2010

My hands were sweaty, my knees shaking. I don’t know how I managed to park my car, but I did. I was nervous – and late – but I walked in. Smiled and mumbled an apology about being late. After hearing about the joys of being a member of Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk, I knew I [...]

In Limbo

October 1, 2009

The Good Life is moving. We’re in limbo. But it’s not as bad as it sounds. Of course, spending only a few days before packing everything up and heading north again isn’t exactly my kind of party, seeing family and being able to see friends off before they headed over seas for various programs was [...]

Today, there was an article about me in the Washington Post. Not gonna lie, I feel kind of bad ass. I’ve mentioned this interview once before, as I spent the last five months contemplating what the eff I wanted to do with my life, I was contacted by them to talk about my “quarter life [...]

It’s Not About the Who…

August 10, 2009

That’s a lie. It totally is about the who. I was recently hired back in to the world of full time employment. A job that has so much potential, a job that I want to be excited about, but rather, spent most of the weekend being nervous and worrying about. But today, it was like [...]

Do they have a class for that?

July 22, 2009

The vision of what I thought I was going to be  by the time I turned 26 came crumbling down this morning in the parking lot of my part time job at 8:30am. I had spent two hours running around the gym trying to find ribbon to tie balloons for our open house today. It [...]

Facts of Life

July 15, 2009

Or the one where bad things happen to good people. This, my friends, has been…dare I say it, the worst week ever. I won’t go so far to say that it could get worse, because we already said that and it did. Saturday, I was blessed and showered with love at my bridal shower in [...]

Better Off

June 8, 2009

Once upon a time, when I had bad music taste and a chip on my shoulder, Ashlee Simpson sang it when she belted out “better off.” “and i’m always, always, always late and my hair’s a mess even when it’s straight but so what? I’m better off every day…” Sing it gal. Seriously, what ever [...]

The Joy of Freelancing

June 5, 2009

I quit my freelancing writing job today. After about ten days, I quit. I didn’t want to but another 6400 words due tomorrow in less than 24 hours? Not going to happen. I felt like a machine. I was as unhappy as I was at my job before getting laid off. I showered once in [...]
