Oh, the sputtering

Thursday, January 5th, 2006

Hello, dear reader-

I have started and stopped several posts since the last few weeks of December. First I wanted to share in greater detail my joy about graduating Magna Cum Laude (BS) and with High Honors (AS), both in communications.

Then I wanted to share my feelings about leaving West Virginia for a new state, Ohio - the people I’d miss, the networking, and so forth.

After that, I wanted to share about the New Year -Happy New Year!- and all that sort of thing. Rembrances, looking back, oh, even New Years Eves that I don’t remember at all (and not because I wasn’t yet born!).

Next, I feel certain that I wanted to congratulate my spouse and myself for being married 3 years on January 1st. We spent a romantic day hanging pictures in our new house in Ohio.

Most certainly I wanted to address the horrifying mine accident in my former home state of West Virginia - what a tragedy, and how simply awful that there were miscommunications regarding what turned out to be just one survivor.

No doubt I have had thoughts about Ariel Sharon’s strokes - it’s awful, I know, only second-hand because my father has had more than his share of strokes. And it frightens me to think of what might happen in the Middle East.

Oh, and there’s more, I’m sure - job hunting, unpacking boxes, wondering where in the world certain items are, and where I will work when I combine a bunch of plants. You see, I’ve always had quite a few houseplants. But I didn’t realize I had about ten thousand of them until they were all sitting on one table… and then another… and another… and then the floor… and I saw that they needed to be combined. It’s not hard to do, and I enjoy the task, but where to do it? It’s cold outside!

On job hunting- I’m using Monster.com, of course, and The Creative Group which is for freelance folks. I’d love to do web content writing, although from the looks of my blog lately, one might have doubts about that. (But please see Webmaster Consulting where I have done some writing and editing! (Plus you’ll get to see some absolutely beautiful sites via the portfolio page!)

This is difficult, the job search piece. Frankly, I really would like to do freelance writing. But I will probably need to find full time employment in an office where I will have to wear suits and such. Pearls, upswept do’s, shiny shoes, you know what I mean. And I don’t mind that at all. But in just a few weeks, I’ve grown somewhat cozy wandering around the house in jammy-like clothes. That’s all. That and my irrational fear that nobody will hire me. Oy!

Okay, I feel as though I am back on track with this page, so please come back for more of my nonsensical ramblings. Yes, really, please do!
