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 [...]

The Worst Part

January 19, 2010

I find that there’s one god awful part of dealing with this whole “career transition” crap. Rejection. All those unanswered inquiries; emails asking for advice – not even a job – mere advice: “how did you get to where you are. What do you suggest for someone looking to transition careers?” Those unanswered job applications [...]

Laziness At It’s Best

November 17, 2009

Alternatively Titled: Why it’s sometimes okay to not shower for a day and live in sweatpants I vowed, earlier this week to get things done. To be done with the final boxes sitting in our study, to have everything in for my grad school application (it is. They’re just claiming they haven’t received my second [...]

Blog Made It Big Time

August 11, 2009

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 [...]

Game On…

July 27, 2009

Over a happy hour tonight, that we probably shouldn’t have gone out to, Fiance and I decided to make getting out of DC our top priority. Neither of us is really happy here, we can’t afford to move in the area, yet, we’ve rapidly outgrown our current space and career wise? I for one, don’t [...]

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 [...]

On Writing

June 10, 2009

I started writing yesterday. Like, really writing. Writing with a goal writing. All my life, since a friend of mine and I sat every night working on a 40 page novel on my 1993 Packard Bell using Windows 3.1 (Microsoft Works!) writing a random novella using the people we knew as characters who all got [...]
