You don't bring me flowers...

...So I bought them for myself!

I just had to bring a little bit o'Spring inside the house until I am motivated enough to get outside and do some gardening. 

On a roll.

I was on a roll, or so I thought.

I had written a very real blog post about Integrity likening my experience at a former employer to Mad Men, with allegories and fashion… and then I deleted it, along with about 10 other blog posts I had lined up to post.

In the meantime, my contract job ended and I’ve been spending my time sleeping in and sipping vino.

I'll come up with some new material...eventually. For now, I am enjoying my freedom.

All This Stuff

I'm in the process of de-cluttering the townhouse because a) we've got too much stuff and, b) we need the extra cash. It's therapeutic to get shed the things that are cluttering up your life, but it's hard to let go at the same time. I'm workin' on it. 



Found this clip about "Stuff" and it's pretty funny stuff. 

A Change Will Do You Good - Part Deux

Remember when I said that thing about change? Yeah, well… I dyed my hair. Red. After being a blonde for 35 years I decided it was time for a change. I'm still getting used to it, but I am looking forward to putting the whole 'Do Blondes really have more fun?' question to the test. 

A Change Will Do You Good

The only thing constant is change. Right?

In a few days I will be back out on the streets, hitting the pavement, looking for another job.

I wish I could get paid to hang out with friends, drinking wine, sharing stories, reading blogs and viewing Pinterest, and just being my fabulous self… but that just isn’t reality. Dammit.

Over the past 2 years I have had over 100 interviews for different jobs.  I’ve gotten pretty good at the whole interview process – mostly because I like to talk and am completely honest. Honesty is the best policy! Though other sources may tell you to play it cool and put your best foot forward, I choose to live with integrity and say, “You’re going to get the real me when you hire me, so I’d rather be the real me up front”.  Besides, the real me is pretty awesome.

I am off to yet another interview. Wish me luck!
