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!
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?

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.
