Writer's block...

…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 🙂
