Still no news on the job.
Still waiting.
Still grumpy about it.
But at least it's getting closer and closer to the very exciting month of May. If I survive all the Twilight/Host/Mother's Day/birthday excitement planned for the next few weeks, it'll be a miracle. That's the kind of busy that I love!

Limbo
I hate waiting. I hate not knowing what's coming, and I hate having to wait for someone to tell me how my life is going to change.
Still no word yet about a job change for the Z-man.
I don't mind change--really, I don't. As long as I can have complete control over it and know beforehand exactly how things are going to turn out, I don't mind change at all.
I just hate waiting. GRRRR.

16. What do you do to vent anger? Call Rae, post on TMs, and mostly cry
17. What is your favorite season? Tie between Spring and Fall
18. Hugs or kisses? Um, it depends on whom it's from. . . . Mostly hugs, unless we're talking about the Z-man. . . .

26. How many years at your current job? Well, Zippy's 4 now, so. . . .
27. Favorite day of the week? Wednesday--random I know, but it's my break in teaching piano, and I'm halfway through the week--a very hopeful thought.
28. How many states have you lived in? 2 Kansas and Utah
29. Do you think you're funny? It depends on how many Dr. Cullen's I've had and whether Rae, AmyO, and/or Sarah are around
And there it is: Random and useless information about me that you probably never wanted to know.
But then again, there is this: I've actually posted 2 days in a row!!!! Who knew I had it in me!

GO ME!
I’ve been thinking today about fear. Probably because I’m worried out of my mind about the expected job offer for Z-Man. But, nevertheless, I’m thinking about it. And I’ve decided that it’s been far too long since I started letting fear rule my life.
I’m afraid of failing at losing weight—so I just eat what I want and have gained way too much lately.
I’m afraid of not having enough money for what we need—so I spend way too much in a knee-jerk reaction.
I’m afraid of not writing the funniest, or most insightful, or most entertaining blogs—so I let all my thoughts and ideas pile up, wither, and disappear in my brain.
UGH!! I detest living this way. I hate feeling like I have to escape into poorly written fiction (the only kind I seem to be finding on-line lately) in order to avoid thinking about how I’m letting fear keep me from living my life. And while it will certainly take me a while (with many set-backs), I’m going to change the way I live my life. And actually enjoy the time I have—mistakes and all.
Here’s to imperfect, sloppy, sometimes painful REAL LIFE!
And as step one on this journey—I’m officially posting this entry without editing it—and without letting myself second-guess whether I want anyone else to see this about me or not. GO ME!
