I haven't blogged in a few days, because well... nothing is going on. I can't even think of anything to blog about. I've finished reading my copy of Harry Potter, and I enjoyed it. I've been trying to read To the Lighthouse, and I still can't get into that book at all. The style is far to rambling for me and I can't seem to find anything of note that I think is going on. I've yet to find any time to work on my story. I still am having trouble picking up where I left off, and I'm thinking that I will be rewriting the third chapter. This sucks, since I was almost finished when I stopped writing last.

On a nice, happy, note... I've almost finished another term of school. Two weeks of vacation and another eight week term until I graduate. I can't wait to be finished, and even having been disgruntled this term with my last business class, I'm really glad that I didn't put it off. Next term I get to take biology and I am looking foward to the class. Science is one of my favorite subjects, and I would have chosen biology as my major if possible. So, taking biology next term is more like a pleasure than something I have to do.

Other than that, it has been quiet here. I'm just working through my final and trying not to focus too much on anything else, but that hasn't been working. I've been thinking that I need to put my resume together and start sending it out soon. I'll be moving as soon as I find a job, or February. It depends on which one comes first. That is something I dread, because moving in with my parents until I find a house isn't my idea of fun. It is only a three bedroom place, and right now it is my parents, my sister, my niece, two dogs, and two cats. When I come home, I'm adding on myself, two kids, and another two dogs. Not fun at all. Anyone have a good suggestion on how to find a job and buy a house really fast? The less time I have to live there, the better. It is going to be crowded and my sister and I do not get along well when we live together. It will only take a week or two for her to tell me what a horrible mother and person I am for whatever reason. Meanwhile, I'll be the one waking up with her daughter and caring for all three kids. I'm sure you ge tthe picture and can see why I don't want to be there more than a couple of months with my own children. I also don't want them to be subjected to arguments between Mommy and their aunt. That isn't fair to my own kids of her little girl. So, if anyone knows a good way to go about finding a job and a house from 3,000 miles away, please let me know.

Take Care,
Meg

    Suggest maybe call the local newspaper of the city/town you're moving to and have them send you a Sunday newspaper --for the real estate section to give you an idea of what's out there. The Dayton Daily has a huge supplement every Sunday marked real estate. Job wise--network, resumes, door pound, apply aply apply. Hope this helps. With a great deal of tact--is hubby being stationed overseas?? so you're getting ahead of the curve on establishing the family when he gets back. I was under the impression he was military. If I'm out of line I apologize--I had just read you comment to the Countess (after I blog my banal entry and was humbled by your helpful advice) so your hubby was oin the braincells.

    My hubby is military, but he is getting out of the Navy in about a year or so. I'm taking the kids and dogs back to Cincinnati, OH 6 months or so before his enlistment is up to find a job, get medical insurance, and set up a house four our family.

    My stars you'll be an hour away from me. Try AAA Cincinnati for call taking/dispatching. 15 W. Central Pky, Cincinanti OH 45202 (513) 762-3100--strating pay for Dayton about $9 so they probably pay better. Don't mention me to Supervisor Nick--he still might not have forgiven me by now. Cincy is large but Ohio employment is down--there are jobs out there but a lot of people want to start above the mid-way point and not from the bottom. Best to you. Rich

    Thanks for the advice. I'm also looking at P&G's marketing department as well as some other larger companies. I figure if I've spent all the time and money to get my BA with a marketing major I should try to use it, but it is hard when Cincy has built up so much where I grew up I don't know what is there any more. I'll be sure to talk with AAA. Maybe they can use someone whether it is me or my hubby:) If you know Eastgate-Batavia exit on the 275 loop, that is where I grew up.

    Virginia Woolf is a tedious read (due to stream-of-conscious writing). I liked "Orlando" though. If you skip through all the random associations (which you can do without losing substance), it's a good story. Maybe try that first. I bought an Edith Wharton book and it appears she is about my speed. Of course, everyone knows I like "bad poetry" and "awful literature". LOL. Sorry can't help you with job or house advice - this from a Walmart employee living in apt. I'm sure you understand. Good luck with both, however. I'll change my prayer from "help her write" to "help her find job and house".

    To be honest not all that familar with Cincy since I don't like sports the Reds need never grieve for my absence. Only been thru it twice via I-75 and no temptation to stop.

    I think that investigating renting, say, a small place, when you first arrive would be preferable to that living arrangement you painted for us ... woo, recipe for disaster truly. However, if that is the only way, than everyone would just have to work hard at making it work, as it is only a temp. arrangement.... Life throws you such tense things, and yet you always seem to be able to keep afloat -- hang in there Meg, and good luck to you. You are a good person.
