It's been a while, shoot me. No, really.

So for those of you that still occasionally check out my poor, neglected blog, I figured I'd give you a bit of an update to what I've been doing lately.

For those of you that talk to me often, I've been clamoring to get the hell out of this state, so when Jarret got accepted to NIU, I figured I'd move on out to Illinois, too - at least I'd know someone, right? So I threw my resume up on Craigslist, applied to several jobs, and looked up countless apartments. So far, I've been offered two separate jobs, one of which sounds like a really good fit for me, at least for a while.

And then, yesterday, I changed my mind. No, I'm not moving. Yet. Instead, I'm going to Quinsig for an associate's in Nursing Education, so I can be an RN. Yeah, from psychologist to cop to administrative assistant for the rest of my life to RN. After that, I'm hoping to get a position down in Nashville (the rents down there are like $400 a month, no lie). My grammy lives down there, too :)

On top of the RN thing, I still have that pesky life-long dream of being a writer. So today, I submitted this little number to Gore and Shock Provoked, or G.A.S.P., magazine. Here's crossing my fingers.

Okay, one last thing: Jill, my favorite person in the world, decided to make her own blog. It's called From the Land of Jill, and is on my Tasty Links bar over there. Go visit, say hi. She's great!

Alright, that's all. See you in another month or two.

Seriously Jamie, I think you change your direction almost as much as I do.

I only started the blog because it was suggested to me that it might be good to direct some kind of creative energy somewhere. You should write in yours more often and we could totally throw topics at each other for inspiration.

Write, bitch, write.

PS I'm glad you are staying. Magda is a texting freak and Chrissy is following me on Twitter.

We both have focused ADD, as much as that sounds like an oxymoron. Who ever came up with the word 'oxymoron' anyway?

"focused ADD".. yeah, sounds about right. I might adopt that moniker.
