Have you checked out the new blog yet? Lots of bloggidy goodness
going on over there. Check it:
"Week 1: The ants work tirelessly digging tunnels in the fresh sand.
They are incredibly driven and task-oriented. I pull myself away from
the Plexiglas farm and grab a notepad. I furiously start making lists: all
temp agencies, update resume, review wardrobe. I am too high up on
the food chain to be shamed by these ants."
"You know that cliche - guests and fish start to smell after three days?
Well, my aunt is visiting. We have one of those on again off again
relationships - in fact, it's been almost a year since we've seen each
other."
"I want it back. I want tank tops and lemonade and lawn chairs and
late evening bike rides and swims in the lake at dusk and the screen
door open and the fans on in every window."
"i just can't live in the blame anymore because what it comes down to
is the fact that i have to tuck my kids in at night and look into their
eyes with the knowledge that my behavior and choices affect them
every day from here on out and that i must go to sleep at night with a
heavy heart knowing that my actions, my perceptions and my own
choosing to feel a particular set of emotions is fueling responses that
have had and will continue to have serious repercussions. i just want
peace. and i want peace from the old things that have always been
thorns in my paws, you know? like, the things that i keep calling up
and recreating for myself, perpetuating."
"I just read a glossy good-news piece that said on-ramp moms
typically receive offers just a few months after initiating a job hunt.
Toward the end there was a brief quote- almost an afterthought- that
the longest part of the job search may be the internal piece."
