Worth

People's wealth and worth are very rarely related. - Malcolm Forbes

I like this quote. Makes me feel like my poor ass is actually worth something!! ;)

I'm terrible at updating....

I have no job and yet I still forget to even write a blog. I guess part of it is because I feel like no one reads it so I could just write in a journal and it would be the same effect for me. But I want to write more here, so I will be better. Let me update what's been going on:

I quit my job at BSC and last day was Jan 17. I then packed my life back up (again!) and moved back to DC where I feel I belong more-so than Cali. My brother and I drove across country which was fine - the best part was going to visit Gordon's parents in Michigan and then venturing into Canada to see Niagara Falls. I am glad we made those stops. I also saw Chicago for the first time in my life and I really want to go back when it is warmer to explore the neighborhoods. Really big city!

I made it back to CT just in time to see Amy's newborn, which I was really really happy about. It was so good to see her and I'm so excited for her now that she's a mommy. I envy what she has - her life right now is a lot of what I've always wanted for myself (a loving, unconditional husband, a house close to family, working from home, starting a family with the man she loves) - I am so happy for her and hope someday I am as lucky as she is. But that someday is far away - marriage and babies have no place in my world right now... I need a job and to get my health situated before I would even think about dating again.

So now here I am back in Virginia. I am really glad to be back, I'm just getting a bit bored waiting to hear about a job. I have some connections I am hoping will come through and I've otherwise applied to jobs online, which don't seem so promising. We'll see what happens... but I can't be unemployed too long otherwise I'll go broke!!! Esp bc Dan and Gordon and I are moving into our new home on March 20th and I will need to pay rent once my savings runs out (which is going quick with my student loans sucking the life out of me!).

Anyone want to give me a job??? Anyone even reading this? I didn't think so. Haha.

Soooo... my life now consists of sleeping, cooking, and LOTS and LOTS of Wii. I am addicted to Wii Sports and I spend many hours playing. I'm now at Pro level for Tennis and Bowling.... yeah, I truly have no life!!! Today I cooked up a new recipe - a Turkey Meatloaf. It was quite healthy and with a salad on the side it became a very fulfilling meal. I generally hate regular meatloaf, but this did not have any of the traditional ingredients. I substituted wheat germ for oatmeal or breadcrumbs and used lots of shredded zucchini in the mixture. I even sneaked some fennel seed powder into the sauce for the added health benefits. Dan claimed he could taste it, but I guarantee he couldn't with the red wine, tomatoes, garlic, and other spices mixed in. Either way, it was yummy and now I'm babbling!!! What else is there to do?? I ain't got no job!!!!

I have lots of stories to add from before I left San Francisco which I will write about soon enough. This is plenty of updating for now!
