…or rather “Blogger’s block”.
I keep wanting to post about what we’ve been doing, share a recipe or two and give a sampling of the photos I’ve been taking. But instead, every time I sit down to the computer, I feel like I should be posting job applications, sharing my resume and giving a sampling of who I am and why a high tech company should hire me. So, I post, share and give but not to my blog.
I’m missing my blog, I am missing the friendships that have formed from being a part of the blogging world.
But, I feel like my voice is being swallowed up by the desire and need to find a job. Wednesday it will be two months. Two months of not feeling like myself. Two months of feeling guilty that I am not accomplishing enough in my day – even though I feel like I am constantly on the move. Two months of not getting great projects done because the “need to find a job” cloud is hovering close over my head and mood.
On the bright side…
- I am taking a ballet class twice a week. And that is AWESOME.
- I am getting to pick up my girls from school each day and I get to be the one to hear about everything that happened. (Something I never want to let go of).
- I’ve enjoyed reading a lot of really good books (of course that means I’m not going to sleep so I’m a bit on the tired side).
- My tulips have gotten planted – finally.
- I am interviewing with several really fantastic companies and have been approached about some really fantastic jobs
- For the first time in 6 years, I’ve gotten an awesome tan even with SPF 30 sunscreen.
- My girls have a sun tan to match mine.
So, my post my remain infrequent but I promise to share when I can. And now, I’m off to apply to a position a friend told me about today. Wish me luck.
In the meantime, here’s a sunset from our weekend in Lake Powell. It is one of the few pictures I have taken a minute to edit…

How fun that you’re taking a ballet class! Did you dance as a child? (I’m going to guess that the answer is yes).
Also – what is the best book you’ve read in the past 6 months?

Hello my old friend – I’ve missed you. 🙂
My favorite book the last 6 months is Kate Morton’s “The Forgotten Garden”. It was beautifully written and served as a wonderful escape for me. Definitely one I’d recommend.
Also enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy and Brandon Sanderson’s Elantris – although that one took me several chapters to get hooked.
Yes, danced up until the day before my 8 year old was born 🙂
What a beautiful photo! You captured it very nicely and perfectly. Thanks for sharing!

It’s all about the tan. And the tulips. I say stay offline and continue to enjoy!
