pause

While I'm figuring out how to reconfigure the blog, I'm taking a break. Laters.

the hard part is over

I officially resigned at work today. It was really difficult. I told both teams and it was emotional each time. I found myself tearing up a few times. It was oddly difficult when I was telling the only other black person who works for the team. I only just met her a couple of months ago. I did hear some great ego boosting stuff but I know how people usually say things like that when you leave. They also weren't shy about discussing the annoyance of finding someone new. C'est la vie.

I still don't know what to do with this blog now since it was dedicated to a way of life that is not going to happen. I'll have to go back to the drawing board. Speaking of, I'm working on plans for the hubs' birthday. I've got some things up my sleeve that I can't openly mention due to his nosiness.

Since we're strongly considering becoming homeowners, I've upped my HGTV intake. It's just hilarious how much home a certain amount gets you in the different areas of this country. I've got a House Hunters episode on set in San Francisco. The couple has $450k and they're excited over a 600 sq ft 1 bed/1 bath w/a shared yard area. I love that city but I wish I would!!

I have a lot of remodeling in store, right? Job, house, blog...

a sum total of everything

well i took almost a week to digest the new course my life is going to take and things are looking up. i've given myself a few projects. i'm still attempting to see all the Oscar nominated films/performances, i'm working on a start date for the new job, i'm entertaining the notion of becoming a home owner and the search for new and fun physical activities continues. all in all, not too shabby.

i gotta write up some reviews soon and then completely redo this blog.

the end

we've beaten the bush and been around the mulberry tree, ashes to ashes we all fall down.

i'm not proud of myself but i pushed and pushed him until i got what i knew has been there all along: he doesn't want to be a lawyer. he doesn't actually want to go to law school. he, like many of us i believe, found himself really unhappy and not sure what else to do. sounds like what's up with most of the people currently in law school.

i am so full of emotion but the presiding one is peace. just...thank God i didn't move to Toledo, Ohio for no reason! to be honest, another one is a dose of bitterness. i am a little mad at the roller coaster ride i've been on for six months. on the other hand, i cannot dare to imagine my life with an unhappy lawyer because with an unhappy social worker - damn! it hasn't been puppies and rainbows. as a ha ha from God- he got accepted to Cleveland State today. yay.

i'm so wiped i can't write much more than that. i'll be back...
