Real Girl

On July 14, I become a permanent employee of Uranium Disposition Services (UDS). This is a good thing because I will be able to receive the associated "benefits" -- such as paid time off. Do I really want to be a "permanent" employee? Not so much. I am, even now, awaiting word from Stites & Harbison about a second interview for a Legal Assistant position they have open.

I have applied for Events Coordinator position with Special Olympics Kentucky.

and the list goes on. . .

However, I am slowly learning that I'm not my job. Am I fulfilled by my job at UDS? Nah. Can I stay there until Steve retires August 1? Sure. And beyond? Yep. Do I want to be there a year from now? Um, no. But I've learned I can't hang without vacation days. . . duh.

So, in other news. We're on our annual pilgrimage to McMinnville, TN to visit my cousin, Dawn, and her clan of dogs and children (see link on my home page for her website -- she takes awesome pics). It's great -- instant party. But Mary's not with us this year so it seems strange and I'm a little sad. That's not the only reason I'm sad but that's part of it.

I really need a new job -- wait, that's backtracking. It's just that I've gained like 20 lbs since I've been at UDS and I'm not motivated to exercise or anything.

Okay -- I'm going to visit with my family now.

Then you're easier than I was in High School -- and that's saying something! No, really, I have to have some outlet for what few brain cells I have left. It's creative and rarely read by anyone so I can say whatever I want. It looks pretty and, for now, it's FREE!

Thanks for your note -- it's really too bad we don't live closer to each other -- we are still SO much alike! And I still think it's spooky that we both live in Lexington . . .

Why You Shouldn’t Visit That New Mom and Her Baby

Close your eyes and think about the last time you visited a brand new mom, either in the hospital or at home.  Did you call first? If you d...
