Stuck in Limbo

Patience is something that I practice all the time, but in all honestly, I've never gotten good at. I find that after years of working on becoming more patient, I've just become a bit more frustrated and grumpy. Things sometimes don't move quick enough for me and sometimes that's ok, a lot of times, it makes me winge a little bit before I move forward. This is a bit of how I am feeling today. I've applied for countless numbers of jobs and it never ceases to amaze me that I've only been called to interview for ONE job! Not that I'm underminding that one job I have had interviews for. I think among all the the jobs I have applied for, this one is the most interesting and diverse I have ever had the privilage of being considered for. I also think it would be a great job and person to work for! It would be for a wealthy business man and his PA. He used to own a massive business (and market really for his trade), has sold it and now spends a lot of time doing charity work for sick children, which is awesome! I would be helping his PA with managing his personal affairs as well as some charity and business. More of a glorified secretary really, but I think it could mean great things career-wise if I stick with it. It's been 4 interviews now with this specific job, the last one being about a week ago, and now I'm in limbo just waiting to hear whether or not I got the position. This has been some hard waiting for me. I'm anxious, ambitious and ready to be back to something a bit more "normal" for whatever that means! I've also been doing a some house hunting for our next rental home...Which is also in limbo as well as I would like to find a home close to where I would work if I got the above said job...But I don't know if I got it, so instead, I have a list of homes I would like to see, but can't look at yet! I've also called on a few that I would like to see closer to here, but again, no one seems to care to get back to me to arrange a veiwing. So, again, stuck in limbo. Seems to be the mantra of my life right now! Today though, I've decided that it's ok and I'm dealing with it by having a nice cup of tea while watching "Love Actually" in bed with this computer! Patience aside, I do have faith and hope that something will move forward soon. Till then, cheers from limbo land! Live, Laugh, Love!

Little "mini-ventures" to make time pass!

So, I haven't had anything going on which has been the reason for no new updating posts, but I have been contemplating things that I want to do before I leave the states and start my new adventure! (Plus, I want something to talk about!!) So one mini-venture I thought I would get started is maybe (and I KNOW this is cliche'!): Losing a few pounds! (I just heard a million sighs and groans! LOL!) I have gained a little in the last couple months because of my food intake and well, I NEED to fit into that wedding dress! So, I'm praying to lose at least 5 pounds in the next 2 months (if not quicker!) and 10-15 by the time we do our honeymoon! SO, wish me luck and I will keep you updated on the progress! (This officially starts tomorrow by the way!) The 2nd idea I had was to start some sort of video blog to post to this as well just for fun or to show surroundings, etc! I was working on the idea tonight, but couldn't figure out how to work my hp mediasmart programs! LOL!

STILL Waiting!!!

UGHHH!!!! This is torture!! How long must I endure the painful wait?? (Please no comments of it "building character"....I DON'T CARE!!) I'm just very anxious! I thought I would be there by now and I'm finding myself stuck in the land of "what if?"...By this I mean questions that cause me to worry like "What if it got lost in the mail??", "What if they are taking so long because they are going to say no??", "What if it takes many months more to get my approval??"...etc! It's all stressful! I only have so much money to stretch out to a certain point! So, my fear is that I will run out of funding and need to get a temp job to make ends meet and Dave will have to pick up my slack more...*pout!* I don't know if my paperwork is coming via normal snail mail or certified mail, UPS, etc. and my biggest worry is that it gets lost! I have tried to remind myself that I DID receive the letter stating that it would take them 5-1

I'm Officially Married!!

Phew! What a wonderful past week! My heart is glowing and there's a permanent grin on my face today! I can't remember what I've posted in the past (I didn't look) so I will start with last Friday! Logically, I've been itching to make some friends and Friday night the one girl friend that I have right now invited me to go out with her and two others for a night in the town! Though they said it wasn't the best of all nights out there, I had a great time! One, because I was out with people and not alone! Two, because it was interesting to view the people and get a sense of things and so forth. It was just refreshing to get out and feel a part of something! Our wedding ceremony went great! Before the ceremony, we invited everyone over to the apartment for mimosa's (I didn't have any, I was too busy running around trying to get ready!) then we went off the the registrar office to have the ceremony, which I thought for a small short ceremony that it went
