First, an apology: There are loads of reasons I haven't updated this blog since the dawn of time. The reasons belong to me and my family, and we're not saying exactly what went down. So please, accept my unapologetically cryptic apology for being absent from the blogging world. I mean no harm!
Second, an anniversary: My dear, sweet, beloved husband and I celebrated our THIRTEENTH wedding anniversary this weekend. Yes, yes we DID get married on Independence day, with the full knowledge that doing so was sort of an oxymoron. But we had the wedding of our dreams, complete with a giant hog-roast, melting wedding cake, tons of booze and free fireworks! And because the 4th is an annual event, we simply rinse and repeat, year after year. We love that y'all set off fireworks in our honor. You're too kind!
Third, an announcement: I have finally landed a brandy-new job! When I quit my last gig in January, I wasn't at all sure I would land something better - I just knew I needed something different. As it turns out, I've landed something similar, but also more exciting and challenging. I can't wait to dig in to my new role!
Thanks to my reader(s) for coming back here to check that I am still breathing; sorry it took so long to show signs of life. I am here and I'm looking forward with great anticipation to all that is to come. I think it's gonna be HUGE!
XO

Living on the Edge
After ages of considering and praying over a difficult and life-changing decision - I did it!
For too many years I have worked in a dead-end job I loath while sending out bazillions of resumes without getting much in the way of response. I have finally taken my life back. I submitted my notice of resignation this week, and I could not possibly be more pleased!
I have no new job lined up.* I have no real plan for making ends meet while I'm unemployed. What I do have is a sense of optimism I haven't had in an incredibly long time. And DAMN that feels good! The world is my oyster, once again.
Yes, starting over is scary as hell, but I believe I'm up to the challenge. Sure, we'll suffer a bit while I'm unemployed, but we'll deal with it - I'll find some part-time gig so we can pay the bills while I search out my new career.
It feels so wonderful to dream again. I'm so happy I could dance a jig!
