When in Doubt, Ask the Internet.
Last night I had my FOURTH interview-slash-meeting and, as I had suspected, they offered me the job.I’m totally torn and confused about this. After I let the radio decide (“If I hear Taylor Swift before I get home, I’ll take the job!”) and called Mike, (who suggested, “Let’s just talk about this when you getRead the whole post >>
Read MoreThings You Don't Want to Hear in an Interview…
As job hunting, cover letters, and resumes have taken my life captive, let’s just continue the fixation, we all know not all companies hire people who have criminal record on their file. Our research has helped to give a second chance for felons to identify several companies that do and do not. Understanding how toRead the whole post >>
Read MoreJob Searching Makes Me Mean. (PS: Hire me?)
Job searching and the ensuing stress is taking quite the toll on me. Why can’t I just sew, design, and spend my days watching The View in my yoga pants? Sigh. I’m searching for that balance of doing what I really want to do and taking a job because I need one – a jobRead the whole post >>
Read MoreOn Success…and My New Business Cards!
My designs for my business card. I cannot wait to get them. A few months ago, my sister and I were chatting on G-chat about my Etsy shop and graphic design aspirations.

Read MoreThe Subtle Return.
Someone commented on my last, let’s-just-try-a-break post that they would eagerly await my triumphant return. Sorry to disappoint. I’d expected to come back bragging about my new zen-like, peaceful life with clutter-free floors, a job under my belt, life figured out, and a flat stomach. Alas, my house is still messy, I’ve fruitlessly applied toRead the whole post >>
Read MoreGimme a Break. Please?
After a wonderful weekend, I came to the realization I am spending more time and energy cultivating and maintaining online presence than I am on the rest of my life.

Read MoreWorth it Thursday: Delicious Curls.
I haven’t done a Worth it Wednesday in a long, long time – but I’ve discovered something so exciting I just had to share! (Does this sound like that beginning of some spam comment?) (And, YES, I know it isn’t Wednesday. I procrastinate, okay?) A few months ago, I mentioned a haircare product that workedRead the whole post >>
Read MoreOn Ikea, Etsy, Babies, and No Candy for Easter.
A long weekend is a glorious gift. A long weekend with a holiday? Even better. My weekend, in bite-sized morsels: – Ikea. Need I say more? The nearest Ikea is two hours and nine minutes away in Pittsburgh. Mike’s parents are merely an hour away from an Ikea in Michigan, so we took a littleRead the whole post >>
