Life in a nutshell

Balancing Act

April 9, 2010

I had the luck of earning an opportunity to go to breakfast this AM with our GM – the regional one who happened to be in CT/NY for a couple days and one thing we got to talk about was balance. Happiness in not just one out of x number of aspects of our lives, [...]

I can haz confidence?

March 27, 2010

Once upon a time, I was a self-proclaimed perfectionist. I had good self-confidence, despite my incredible amount of paranoia of what others thought of me, and was a go-getter. I set goals for myself and went after them – achieving awesome goals such as interning on Capitol Hill at the age of 21, interning in [...]

30 days

March 14, 2010

“This is…the happiest I’ve seen you in a long time…” Hubs said that to me tonight, and it’s true. I’ve started focusing on goals, I’m excited about my new job, and I’m doing some great things. Starting a non-profit affiliated with a national non-profit, committing to yoga for 30 days – even if it’s just [...]

Stability or Lack Thereof

March 11, 2010

There’s something to be said for stability. Hubs and I haven’t had much of that at all in the six months we’ve been hitched. And just when we thought we had stability on it’s way? The rug got pulled from under us. Luckily that rug comes with a month’s severance and a boss willing to [...]

Something Goes Right

February 11, 2010

The other day, I finally got the letter I’ve been waiting for. I was invited to take part in Grad School of Choice’s “GPA Waiver Program.” Meaning, if I do bad-ass in a few choice History classes, I’ll be admitted into their teaching certification program. Hopefully in the fall. Which means, I could be teaching [...]

Wanted: Inspiration or a Job

February 4, 2010

Last night I went into the city for a Women in Social Media event. I learned…a little, because a lot of what the panelists said I had heard before at BlogHer and other similar events, but I was inspired. Women who started blogs to just write and share their lives, or businesses to be successful [...]

Sorry We Can’t Help You

February 2, 2010

It was as if somehow, things just started looking better. I got this small glimmer of hope last night, and then just like that, at 10am with a simple phone inquiry – “sorry we can’t help you.” The story of my god damned life – or so it would seem. But then? I filed for [...]

Renewed Faith

February 1, 2010

Freaders, I had a realization. A very big one. A good one. You see, Hubs told me the other night while we were driving up to Boston (well not really Boston, Ashland – between Framingham/Worcester) for a surprise party that I needed to write down everything I need to do to get certified to teach.

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 [...]
