Welcome to TheMiddleOfNowhere, SD.

So I’ve had it reinforced today that finding a job in the tech/entertainment industry is nearly impossible in my area. Which I already knew, but occasionally try to forget. Sometimes it isn’t who you know, or how good you are, but WHERE you are that counts. The problem with this isn’t my own unwillingness to relocate, it’s my family’s. The hubby farms on the family acreage, the children are very comfortable having their grandmas all within a 20 minute drive.

There are some people that are born to stay in the same place their entire lives… to be born, educated, work, play, die and be buried within a hundred mile radius. Then there are those that want to be everywhere, see everything they can, and experience the world. I’m afraid that I’m one of the latter. I love my husband dearly, and I’d never give up my children for the world… literally. But I wish that I could have it both ways.

It’s tough turning down opportunities, especially when each one would bring you closer to your dream career. It’s even tougher to pass them on to people you know that CAN grab them. For a world that’s becoming smaller everyday, it still seems awfully far away from TheMiddleOfNowhere, SD. I have friends around the globe, but I have to work within driving distance.

Doctor, can I borrow your Tardis?

Too bad, it’s my blog

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

It’s a pity that I’m actually motivated today. I feel like spring cleaning, and I’m stuck here in work. So many things I could be doing that are much more productive than this.

Well… Birthday party for the kids tomorrow. We’re taking 10 kids between 8 and 10 to the movies and pizza, then a sleepover. I think I’m mad. Stark raving squirrel chasing mad. Should be fun. ;)

Oh! I also need to draw a tower. A dark, gloomy, magical tower. It’s for the cover of my book, as I reeeeeeeally want to get it revised now so I can give the library the go-ahead to order it. Could be working on that now too instead of this lovely project.

Anyhow, that’s the update, weren’t you enthralled? Too bad. It’s my blog.

Another Random Update

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

well.… not a lot going on here.… summer’s in full swing and the projects are rolling in. too much to do without having to worry about finding time to write or edit as well. on a good note, it looks like i’ll have a new bathroom by autumn if we can keep at it, including a lovely new jaccuzi tub. on the flipside, we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us before we get to that point.

then there’s vacations… of which i’m severely lacking. brad’s currently in the middle of his full week off, and i’m at work. and will be going to work everyday they’re open for eternity i think. meh. i need a work-from-home job.

that’s all for now. better get back to the daily grind.
