Post Numero Uno

So, here I am, blogging... Why, you ask? Because, I say. I just needed an output to say all the things that I want to say, and if you read then you read, and if not, well, they are on the web for the world to see! :) And I guess I started now because I have time. I recently quit my job... "Ack!" you say, "You had a job, and in a recession you VOLUNTARILY quit?!" Yes, I voluntarily quit my job in a horrible recession because for me, it was enough, and it was time to go. So, I did, I put on my big girl boots, and I left... Not without hesitation, or worry, but now, I'm out, and so far, so good. Yes, I am being a total miser, but it's probably good for me. It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make in my life thus far. Last time I left a job, there was a legitimate, sustainable, I can't work here since I won't be in the same state reason, I was moving home. I was leaving California and coming back to Seattle. This time I didn't leave town, I didn't have another job, I just left. All I know is one thing, I could not have done it without certain supportive and wonderful people in my life, from my awesome co-workers, to my amazing family, to my marvelous friends, and my unbelievably wonderful bf... I am sure that I owe each and every person involved in my life a drink and a homemade dinner because they have listened to me whine, cry, freakout, bitch, complain, etc., etc., etc. all with grace, I am a lucky lady! With that said, I am on to bigger, and different adventures...

So, now to the fun! What to actually blog about.. Well, here are some things I learned today:
  • Google tasks is amazing. I am a total list maker and I love that this pops up in my gmail, my igoogle and on my blackberry AND that it has check boxes for when I complete an item... Ask anyone who had seen my college planner, it had home made check boxes and was color coded. Oh, and it also goes along with your google calendar, it's one smart tool!
  • Thanks to Orangette, I saw this wonderful recipe that I am for sure going to try... I have always been a canned peach fan, and I think this is just an adult version, looks a little dangerous. (Here: Orangette)

Okay, that's it for now, I am trying to get into this whole blogging thing, as I am not working, I am sure I'll come up with many more exciting things to tell you all tomorrow.. :) Even though, I feel like I am so busy even though I have no actual, paid, job! Hopefully I'll find something new before this feeling wears off... and by hopefully, I mean, I will.
