It's been a while, but I'll be here a while.
9:07 PMSo it’s been a while, I know. Get mad at me, throw things, but I promise I am back.
Let me recap the last two months for you.
The reason I stopped writing for a while was that I was in a funk. Not a personal funk, a work funk. I wasn’t seeing myself going anywhere with the company that I was with, and that was really disappointing. I never gave less than 110% at work, but when I got home I was moody, didn’t want to do things, except sit around and watch TV. I felt myself taking it out on the hubby. I even stopped riding my bike and running, and boy do my clothes feel that.
But then an amazing thing happened when we were on our way to Atlanta for hubby’s birthday. I was offered a job, not just any job, a job at a PR firm, where I could get back to what I loved and wanted to do. It was the light I needed, the pushed I wanted, and the opportunity I craved. I was excited, I was nervous, but knew this was what I needed to grow, and help my family. The opportunities I have before me are great, I can grow, I can learn and I can use my brain to be creative. I have been there almost a month and even though I still have so much to learn it’s exciting that I am learning. I enjoy the process of developing a proper pitch, I like talking to the media because I was one of them. I want to learn and be better faster, but I know it’s a process. I have to thank everyone I work with now for helping me in that process, I’m excited now for the future.
Hubby is happy for me. He has commented on how my mood has changed. Maybe it is because I get to spend more time with him, which is strange because the whole time we’ve been together I have never had such a normal schedule. We joked that I was going to crave a weekend to work, just to get away. That hasn’t happened.
I do miss everyone at my old job. Being there four years you become a family and they know everything about you, almost. There were ones that were harder to leave than others, and I miss that daily interaction, but I know we won’t lose touch. Interestingly enough, I left a job where I had 250 other co-workers, now I have seven in my office. But like I said, it’s the change that I needed.
So bottom line, I’m happy. I’m adjusting to my new life. To being home and cooking nightly and being able to plan things on the weekend without planning 3 months in advance. I still plan 3 months in advance, because that’s just me, but not having to build a work schedule around it is nice. I am back at the gym, and looking forward to fitting into my clothes again.
So stick with me, we are going to restart this blog, but it’s going to be fun. Thanks for reading, and I’d love to know what you’d like to see here. Anything in particular?

I love your writing style. Definitely remind me of myself. I stopped writing out of a funk too, but not a job funk, a total personal funk. =o) I think we need to meet up for a beer.
