    if not sales, you could use your art degree and your knowledge/passion for wine to create some sort of business. come up with a way to teach people about wine and how it translates through art/history. if that makes sense.



    hahaha. i seriously do appreciate all the advice. :)
    that said, speedy greatly overestimates my knowledge of wine. greatly. i know what i like, that's about it.

    IF i were to start a business, it would be for interior design or professional organizing. i know what i like, and where my talents lie. that said, i REALLY don't want to! i know for many being your own boss is a dream, not so much for me. my parents had their own business, very successful, but there are always trade-offs. the kind of hours i would have to work would run counter to the regular hours my husband works - no paid vacations, time-off, etc, etc ... and yes, i like the security of knowing my paycheck, parameters, etc.

    as i've said, i'm back in school now updating my skills (which i would need and a bit more even if my own business) and see where it takes me. i really, REALLY want to work for someone else, preferably in the city, coworkers, etc. i am fortunate in that we manage financially, tho it is a drain, we are not meant to be a one-income couple - thank you mr. dream! :P but, i am not ready to face starting off on my own just yet. if i had a partner to keep my motivated, self-disciplined, also keep me from freaking out - would help, haha.

    anyhoo, i appreciate all the good thoughts. thank you. :)
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    HELL WEEK IS OVER **happy dance**

    Holy crap did this week kick my ass, but real proud that I got through it! Easily one of the hardest worked weeks of my college career. And I get a pretty sweet payoff in PJ tomorrow, too :D:D

    but what if they host an impromptu game of Twister with the band members?

    i hate,

    i mean i completely despise,

    the fact that you and i aren't friends.

    in the whole world,

    there is nothing that i have ever hated more than that.
