No, I'm not in the Galapagos Islands, although it would be a nice excuse for not blogging in a while. No, it's just survival of the fittest and I am not sure if doing three jobs places me at the top or the bottom of the food chain. Nevertheless, I'm in survival mode.
I'm sorry that I've been away. Last week, there was a death in my family. My grandfather, WWII vet, grandfather of 9, father of 7, passed away. He had dementia and the family is relieved that he is in a better place and with my grandmother and the rest of our family that has passed away through the years. As a tribute to him, I have a shell casing from the 21 gun salute from his funeral on display in my dining room (fave room of my house).
I also managed to purchase a new car. I decided on a Honda Civic and for all my fans, no it is not black or souped up. It is a silver/blue color and functionally. I love it especially the fact that I can now control the radio/cd player from my steering wheel.
I've been working like crazy but have a few job opportunities cooking. The kind that will be just ONE PERMANENT FULL TIME JOB, because that is my new goal in life. Sorry, the market is so tight that I'm not revealing what they are. I guarantee you that it is nothing for the FBI or CIA. Or is it? ::Insert evil laugh here::
Needless to say, I haven't been writing but with all the driving I do, I think about writing all the time. I hope to get back to it at some point. As an update for my RoV project, I e-mailed that bookstore that is only opening for a month or so that was looking for local authors. After several attempts of trying to contact them, I have not received a response. This serves as proof that even authors don't care about other authors; it's an ugly world out there, I'll tell ya!
Anyway, I hope you are well and thank you so much for sticking with me these past few months. I know I don't have a large following, but I do appreciate what I have!!!!

Oh the things I miss...
Hello Friends,
As you know, I have been working 60 hours a week and I'm not thrilled. I have been a lot during my new self-imposed reality such as my life. More specifically, I miss the concept of one just having one job that is 9-5. It's a been a few years since I've reaped the benefits of that, but I am familar with the concept. I miss stress-eating, oh no, scratch that-I've eaten my weight in junk food. It's been delicious too...Cool Ranch Doritos, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, marshmallow peeps...hungry yet?
I have missed Anne, Andy, and Mark lately. I have missed mainly Andy because his story remains unfinished and Mark because his story remains untold. I miss writing and having all that creativity. I now have to channel my creativity to creating worksheets and games for austistic children. This perhaps may be a more beneficial use of my time, but I miss the one job concept more.
Oh yeah, I miss gas prices below $4/gallon because I now fill up my car every four days. Yay! The silver lining to working all these crappy hours is that I'm getting a new car soon. I have selected a Ford Fusion as my next vehicle of choice. Now I just have to find a used one in my price range.
I miss you too my faithful few readers. I hope you are well. I hope you have one job that sustains you.
