C'est Bien...Errrr...

I had the best morning! I met one of my best friends at this little coffee shop in Venice called Jin Patisserie. (http://www.jinpatisserie.com/) It is such a pleasant, quaint little place to have a cup of coffee or pot of tea. We stayed away from the sweets, but they looked divine. Better than the environment though, was the company. We chatted about life... work, future plans, wedding plans! MK is getting married on June 28, 2008, and I am beyond excited! It is so much fun to check in get all of the planning updates. This weekend we are going bridesmaids dress shopping, which is going to be so fun. My group of girlfriends is so fun, when ever we get together we laugh non-stop and just act generally silly. I will take pictures, so check back Saturday for an update.

Lately I have really been struggling with my future, career wise. I feel like I am in a really weird spot, and my poor husband has to hear it all the time. I have been sending my resume out like a mad-woman and to mostly no avail. My dad always said that looking for a job is a full-time job, and he isn't wrong. But it all just feels like such a waste of time, searching for these jobs, filling out all the info online, etc, and then it's like you sent it into outer space, a black hole - with no return address. I guess a part of me feels like I have worked so hard for so long in my previous field, that I would be silly not to try to get back in - but truthfully, I have no interest in it at all. What I really want to do, is do my own thing. Having a taste of being your own boss is intoxicating. Plus, I had it really good for a while there. Working with my husband, we were such a great team. Now he works 80 hours a week in an office and I miss him. I am not sure how this post went from a fun, happy coffee, to sad and mopey (I feel like such a Debbie). I am sure that everything will work itself out in time, I suppose it always does. Ho, hum...

Your so right! It is very tough to work for others after you have been in control of your own destiny! Find something you will love doing or create something for yourself. Take your time...it will happen..I know it!
