It hurts so good...

I am officially a victim of this era we call the "Recession"....as of Friday, I have joined the ranks of the unemployed, searching and hoping for a bright spot at the end of the tunnel.

However, although it hurts to be out of work, in my case, this hurt is overshadowed by the good that is slowly being unearthed from the wreckage.

In short, my job sucked. Well, I take that back.....there were nice things about it (some of my co-workers, the area I worked in, the kids I got to see each day...)

But, other than that, my job sucked.

SOOOO, I'm actually glad for the change. Glad for a fresh start. Glad for the chance to possibly work closer to home, to possibly make more money, to possibly have a better boss.


I like these possibilities...so I'm sticking with the glass half full metaphor, and forging on into the world of job searching once again.

It's good to be back.

much love,

mmm mmm good!

I'm one of those people who has that thing called a sweet tooth. I have a slight fondness for the sugary types. However, due to the unhealthy nature of sugar, I have resided myself to instead have a longterm love affair with sugar substitutes like splenda and sweet-n-low....Alas, this also carries out into the dessert realm. While I love a good piece of cheesecake, I can't seem to get over the giant caloric number looming in my face as I contemplate taking a bite. Ergo, I stick to eating sugar-free jello with coolwhip to satisfy that urge.....

And then came frozen yogurt.

Frozen yogurt, while eaten in moderation, of course, is like cheating on an open book test. You aren't REALLY cheating, but for some reason, having the book out while taking a test still makes it feel wrong.

And then came Yogurtland.

Yogurtland. The land of self-serve, add your own toppings, deliciousness....all tucked away in the little asian corner of George Bush Turnpike and Denton Rd.

I'm in love all over again, and I don't care who knows it!!!


(p.s: they even have a website! check them out at yogurt-land.com)

hello old friends...

So I decided to return to the blogosphere (word? oh well...). I don't really know why. Perhaps it was my newfound tradition of reading the blogs on my favorite magazine sites every morning, or perhaps it was the fact that more and more people are asking me what happened to me, where did I disappear to? I'M RIGHT HERE! Just look for the girl sitting quietly, observing others, with the giant flower pinned in her hair. Yup, that's me....

So here goes. I don't know how long this will last, how good it will be, or how much I will say. All I know is that I'm trying again. And in the past few years of my life, I have found that second chances are hard to come by, but greatly needed. So I'm giving myself a second chance at blogging, and hoping for the best!

Much love,

boo
