Ok – after taking two weeks to decompress during the holidays, I’m back and raring to go! First things first – I have a job. I was recently hired as a programmer. I’m pumped about the opportunity and think it will be a fantastic place to work.  It’s a few hours away from where I am, so I have to relocate, but I’m excited. I have some of the most fabulous friends in the world living there. I just have to find a place to live.

So now my adventure as sole provider and caretaker of my kids really begins. Check back for the adventures. I’m sure to share them with you! I hope you all had a great holiday season and a wonderful start to your new year!

In one year, I’ve lived in three houses. If all goes well, I’ll move at least one more time. Moving can be a hassle. The packing, the boxes, the tape, the chaos as all your life possessions are categorized and put away. Read more »

It started with me straining a muscle in my back when I was trying to start my car this morning at the gas station. The ignition was locked up. Again. I spent 30 frustrating minutes jerking and banging on the steering wheel trying to get the key to turn. I watched at least 10 people walk into the store and out again, as they glanced briefly at me. I could see some wonder if they should stop and then choose not to. I saw even more look but decide they were too busy to help a strange woman at 8 in the morning. Places to go, things to do. I could read it in their eyes. Read more »
