Brain Dump - 1.5.11

I usually don't just write random things, but in an effort to engage with this blog more regularly, I thought I would just write what I am thinking/what's going on. I'm calling it a Brain Dump. :)

1. The only jobs I am currently finding that are remotely interesting to me are in DC. I have always knows that DC is a good place for me: someone who has a law degree and an interest in policy/government, writing, etc. D.C. is the land of people with law degrees (and who often don't use them), so there would be lots of opportunities for me there. D.C. is also probably the only place where Jim (my husband, not his real name) and I can agree to move, except we don't want to move. I LOVE where we live, and Jim's job is really tied to living in New York. You can kinda do his job elsewhere but not really. We would most likely have to leave the country, which I actually would love as well (other than NY, I would be at a loss as to where to live). Either way, since Jim is not keen on the idea of having a long distance marriage (I wonder why not), I guess I am only applying to jobs in New York.

2. I am learning how to practice the idea of "Release" What I mean by that is letting the Universe/God/Whatever deity or force you believe in do the work for you. One of the things that I need to be more mindful of is letting go and letting things work our for themselves. I think the reason why I am so bad at this is because I am quite impatient (although technically having not having a steady job for about a year can really do that to a person). Either way, I need to let go, and let things fall into place where they can. I just wish it wasn't taking so darn long. :)

3. People need to mind their own reproductive business. No, I don't have children yet, and it is really none of your business whether I want them, are currently trying to have them or are pregnant. Mind your own business. I'm not talking to you all, lovely readers, just others who seems to think this is something that I want to discuss with them. I'm getting to the point where I am going to wholesale go off on someone and get ghetto fab in their face, and I really don't want to do that. :)

Happy Wednesday!

To 2011!


What up, everybody!! Can you believe that it's New Year's Eve?! I can't. I also can't believe that I left my job ONE YEAR AGO! CRAZY!!! This is has been a hard year, but in many ways, a good one. I can't feel anything but blessed and very fortunate even during the times I don't feel as good about my circumstances as I'd like.

Anyway, here's my latest vlog:





Happy New Year to you all! I wish you clarity, joy and peace for 2011!

Howdy from a Somewhat Busy Thirty-Something Nothing!

Hey, all!

It's December! Can you believe it? I know that I have been delinquent in my updates lately. Between my other blog, personal projects and consulting work (and life!), I've become quite busy. Err?! It was pretty funny for a couple of weeks because I wasn't used to having so many demands on my time.





How are the holidays going for you so far? Are you thinking about making new moves career-wise and personally for 2011?

See you all before the New Year!

I Have Too Much Time on My Hands?

Happy Weekend!!

Ain't That the Truth 'Bout Lawyers?!

As a former/probably still transitioning lawyer, I loved this video. It's so TRUE and FUNNY.


If you feel the burning need to go law school, speak to a lawyer first and don't ignore their warnings! :)




Either way, this makes for a good laugh.

Ranty McRanterson + Some Interesting News

I think that's my new name. I DO have an explanation for my absence. It's in the vlog. Also please allow me to rant a little in this vlog. I also think it's my 12th vlog and not my 10th. Apparently, 33 is greater confirmation of my slow descent into senility. :)

Are you enjoying fall? Do you have any tips for how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey? I just found out this morning that my in-laws are actually coming for Thanksgiving. Oy!

I hope you all are well and not too offended by me. :)




Lots of hugs!

Should I Party...

like it's my birthday?!!! Well, it is just that. Today is my 33rd birthday. Good lord, that was hard to write. Sigh....Anyway, I talk more about my birthday in this vlog.




Here's a link to my other blog where I posted my 33 things for my 33rd year. Enjoy!

I'm off to not think about the future but enjoy this great day and figure out where I am eating tonight. :)
