Update

After reading a couple of old blog posts, I thought I'd do an update.

I am currently unemployed. I orchestrated my release from my former firm, and was laid off. I collect unemployment. With my student loans in unemployment deferment, I make enough to cover bills. Barely.

I tried a business venture and realized that I am not an entrepreneur. At least not by myself or in a partnership with the two folks that I allied with. Too bad. I am in the process of transitioning that to the dust bin, and getting myself out of potential hot water. Argh. That's more stressful than anything else right now, and getting it out of the way is a major priority.

So, I am looking for a job. One that is fulfilling, lucrative, and not time-consuming. Actually, I'll settle for any one of those criteria.

Got married in 2009. Quiet little affair. Who knew how many people would be upset at our elopement? But I remember when a law school friend got married and it irritated me that not only did he not invite his best friend, but didn't invite me either. Sorry everyone. I just wanted it to not be stressful.

Happy and healthy on the home front. Money, as ever, is a pain to obtain, but I'm working on getting a job to rectify that situation. I've started to "manage" the house, and am worried that the hubby will not want to come home soon, me barking out orders and telling him to keep things neat because I have to clean all day. I'm just not a very nice housewife. Good, but not nice. I need to manage something outside the house.

So, that's the update. My resolutions: I'll try to not make promises I can't keep; try to be more open and honest; work on communicating my problems before I make a final decision, so that others may have input; and trying to be as happy as I possibly can.

Amen.

I'd also like to quote W. on his way out: "you may not agree with some tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions."

When I first heard that, I thought "what a dumbass." However, I feel the pain from the "phone-it-in" posterboy. This past year I have had to make a lot of tough decisions, and am kinda proud of having made them.

Enough. Can you tell I have time on my hands?
