Transition
ok ok…i got the message loud and clear when my dad left a message on my phone lamenting that he should leave his phone number. i get it…i haven’t been quite the chatty cathy i have been in recent months. but i promise you there are good reasons. lets start at the most basic…my stellar […]
i’m actually in the bay area! in some ways it already feels like home despite my not having one yet. if you’d like to know what love looks like go stare into my dad’s face. he drove the entire 1700+ miles in two days. and once we got here he spent an additional day and […]
this morning my almost-four-year-old niece came barging into my bedroom announcing breakfast. exhausted from the previous night i mumbled something and returned to sleep until she reappeared, like cold BBQ at the back of your throat, to announce once again the arrival of breakfast. and there it was, a lovely breakfast hot and waiting for […]
something about my family brings out my 12-year-old self. that isn’t fair. i believe in taking responsibility and me acting like a child is not my family’s fault…it is a decision (conscious or otherwise) i make when we interact. it is most pronounced with my sister. i noticed it a few years back and have […]
it is so easy for me to get caught up in where i’m GOING to be instead of focusing on where i am NOW. this is the dilemma i find myself facing now. with employment settled and not much else i find the days dragging by so slowly. all of a sudden what used to […]
i know i know…if it ain’t one thing its another! but i’m in search of a place to put my stuff (and self) and buddies in the bay area. on the buddy part i’m not too picky but for the housing i am a bit…i love the old 1920s buildings out there, with hard wood […]
oh my dear sweet goodness i am so back… that means i am now EMPLOYED! i’ll be moving to the bay area in october and i hope to force myself into writing on this thing more often… thanks for the love and the patience…
Everyone says that searching for a job is full time work. And on the surface I shake my head in agreement. It, like work, consumes my thoughts even when five o’clock rolls around. It, like work, forces me to spend long hours in front of the computer screen typing out memos of sorts. But it, […]
i’ve been gone for a moment…so much going on – good and bad. mostly it is unknown. among them, searching for employment. as such, i’ve decided to put this thing on restricted viewing until i am gainfully employed (starting wednesday). if you aren’t in the system so i can add you and you’d like to […]
i’m not sure i’ve ever really been sad to say goodbye to a place. i always have people i’m going to miss…but usually i can substitute one place for another and never think twice. sure i missed mexican food when i left texas…but then i traded that in for new orleans cuisine so it wasn’t […]
