Pink High Heels

This past week something happened to me that has never happened before… I got laid off from my job.

In the 12 years I’ve been in the workforce, I’ve never left a job without a new one already in place. I guess there’s a first time for everything though.

It happened on Thursday, and at first all I could do was call my friends and cry. Why me? Why now? I have to pay rent in 2 weeks and have no money in the bank! Is this seriously happenning? Thankfully I’m no longer crying! I’ve known for a while that I was ready to start looking for something new, so that definitely helps… But I was in no way ready for this.

Now I’m going over all of my options. I’m even considering going back to school to become a RN. Nursing is something that I’ve always had an interest in… But I know that I need so much more than just an interest in it to become a RN.

Hopefully the answer will present itself sometime soon!!

After nearly nine months of blog silence, I have decided to come back. I wish that I had some phenomenal reasons for not posting for so long, but I don’t. The truth is that life just got in the way.

Quite a bit has changed in these last nine months. I’ve moved to a brand new apartment (no more roommates for me!), started working a second job, gone on more first dates that I ever have, and got to watch my baby brother say his wedding vows!

I also did something this week that I’ve never before done. I signed up for internet dating!  And let me tell you.. wow! There are definitely some interesting people on there. So far I’ve had a 44 year old ask me to come over to his house to “drink some beers and relax by the pool”.. the first time we had ever emailed(!!), had someone offer to sign over their trust fund, and had another guy ask if he could be my b**ch! Really? I’m trying to keep an open mind about it and hope that there are some decent guys on there! Have any of ya’ll ever done the whole internet dating thing? I’ve really only ever heard horror stories about it. I have yet to know someone personally where internet dating has worked out for them. Maybe I’ll be the first! =)

Since I’m at work and should be, oh I don’t know.. actually working, I’m going to bid you all adieu. Have a great weekend bloggies!! =)
