I'm back in the saddle again!

I think song titles slash blog titles are interesting. So much has happened in life since the last post. Over a month ago now. Wow. We are confidently giving it another go, if not, very very cautiously. I am putting me first in all of it and if he doesn't like it then that's fine, its just another wall he will have to break down for me. I will not compromise my stance on our relationship. There are things that have to built again, things that have crumbled that will have to be glued, and he has to stay on top of it all in order to win my heart back. I feel empowered. For the first time in a long time I am the one standing ten feet away and saying, "if you want me, baby, come and get me" . . . "but first clean up that mess you left between us."

In other news: I am reading reading reading reading. I need more books. I have thrifted for books eleven days now and no results. I don't want some ooey gooey romance. I want literature, deep and feministic, where the heroine stands tall admist the destruction. I want good prose and awesome style. I don't want to resort to Louie Armour books. Ergh. I found a box of my brothers books (sorry jake but I am breaking into them). Found Virigin Suicides by Eugenedes...been wanting to read that for awhile. Good!

I finally have some jobs to do. Part-time at Pier1 and Jeff City Public Schools as a Sub. In the meantime I still won't be breaking even. Isn't that the stupidest thing- two jobs, 1/2 the bills, and I am still not breaking even.

Lord help me!

Glad to read things are looking up and that you are taking good care of yourself. I know this job searching is stressful and beyond frustrating...but you are an amazing woman Meg. Smart, savvy, fun, and very deep...something perfect will turn up someday I am just sure of it! Love you girl, keep your chin up:)
Love, Cort

You should check with your doctor and have your iron levels
tested. If you keep working and try to take these
strategies to heart, you can lose that extra weight.
This applies to virtually every health downside.
