howdy!

June 5th, 2007 at 04:26 pm

Yikes! I've been away for a couple of weeks. I visited my parents for the long Memorial Day weekend (and my dad's birthday) and have been pretty busy lately.

Since I haven't posted two weeks' worth of Project 365 photos here, I'll spare you the endless array, and just direct you to

My sister moved into her apartment last weekend, so I hosted her and my mom again. I spent waaaaay too much money as well. June is shaping up to be an expensive month already.

I purchased some of the upcoming baby shower food items at Sam's Club but I've still got more to get, including decorations. The party isn't until the 16th, but I feel like I've got a lot to do...including baking four dozen cupcakes.

Still losing about a pound a week! Big Grin I received the completed payment notice regarding my student loan, too, so I'm free and clear on that one. I also dropped down my car insurance levels and removed collision entirely, so that will help immensely. The yearly premium plus deductible was more than my car is worth, and I don't even drive it that often. I kept comprehensive, since I live in the city. I'll be saving $250 a year - not bad!

One of my coworkers is quitting, and I'm pretty envious. I've been looking for something new, but nothing clicks. Same refrain - six years after college, still don't know what to do with my life. All I know is that it's not this. It would be nice to be happy in a job, and feel like it was a career. Am I dreaming? How many people actually obtain that?

    I would like to hear more about what you like and don't like about your current job, and what you think you might like to do.

    For what it's worth, my early years after college began working in fields i had an interest in (newspaper reporter and non-profit manager), but these paid so poorly it forced me into a long series of writing jobs as i tried to earn more money while still doing what i was qualified to do. I don't think i made 'decent' money until age 32. Now, at age 47, my thought is that it's unlikely that any job would really satisfy me in every way, so i've secured a job that is 'good enough' and still affords me ample free time to pursue my interests outside the job, rather than expect the job to be everything.
