You are looking fantastic today. Is it your hair? That shirt? Either way you are rocking it and if I could I'd give you a big box of "Sorry I've been gone so long" chocolates I would. I don't know how many people read this or follow me, but either way, I've missed you.
I really think the main reason for my absence has been a 'lack of direction' for the blog. But after reading some other blogs I've realized I don't need a direction. All I need is a desire. A desire to write and share. The desire to create and maybe even inspire. I'm fairly certain I have that desire. I also wasn't able to post as much as I'd want, but hey, life happens. So what if I don't get a post up every single day. My life still goes and I desperately hope your life is still going on.
So what have you missed? Let me tell you:
- New job(s). After my last blog post I picked up a second job as a waitress in a restaurant. The restaurant, sadly, closed in January, leaving me with my original job. Now I'm leaving the original job I've had for ten years (Eek! Ten years?!) and moving onto another one that promises me more hours. Some days I really don't want to leave this job. Then I get a big heaping dose of reality and I realize this is for the best.
- I'm still not in a relationship. And that's okay. I am looking more. I've joined a dating site and I've even been on a few dates. I'm talking to a few guys and I even have plans to meet a couple of them. Two of the guys I've met have actually become friends which, to me, is better than 'Okay this didn't work out, peace!' and I never hear from them again.
- I'm still at home. When I was working two jobs I almost had enough to move out, but then the restaurant closed so I started paying off more on my student loans instead. Also finding an apartment that's affordable? Insane! Near our town a new factory is being built and the guys working there have plenty of money to spend. So all the landlords in the area have bumped up their prices to take that money. Which, if I was a landlord, I'd keep my prices a little below the competition so I can have more possible tenants and less time of having the apartment sitting empty. One particular spot I had in mind (that I was interested in and had hopes of renting but is way over my 'I'm comfortable paying this amount'') has been sitting for months now because the landlord is being stubborn.
But who knows?!
Life is funny like that. That one expression; Want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans. I feel like its like that. And it could be the universe, or karma, or anything really. You can't plan things out well. The only part of my "plan" I've been able to keep is save money and be more adventurous. Which isn't bad, its been more than I have been doing.
So here's to improving and balancing out life!
Stay sweet!
