An Update. Finally.

I have been missing for quite some time. My second blogiversary, the holidays, all passed with nothing happening here. Mostly because there was so much happening and so much floating around in my mind, but none of it seemed appropriate to blog about at the time so silence seemed best. Today, I'm ready to talk.

Christmas 2010

1. For awhile now I've wondered what exactly it is (if anything) I'm doing here on the blog. I just kind of started it on a whim and never thought I would stick with it. Once I proved this was something I would like to do regularly, I kind of wanted to start over with some kind of purpose or goal. I've been wondering and waffling about this for at least a year, but the past few months I've been thinking more specifically about where and what I should do blog-wise.

2. I lost my job. I knew this was a possiblity and I wasn't exactly in love with what I was doing, so I'm not too upset. I had been thinking about what I would want to do next, just wasn't ready to have to do that now. For the moment, I think I'm going to try some freelancing and open an Etsy stationery shop -- those things I would love to do but am generally too afraid to do. To continue the thoughts of #1, I'm going to have a new blog that doesn't imply I'm inconsistent in the title (I can't assume everyone recognizes it from Pride and Prejudice, but they should. ;)  ). I'm hesitant to look for another full-time job because...

3. We're having a baby in July. :)

WAHHOOOOOOOOO!!! Congratulations lovely! Okay so losing your job is kinda sucky but you're going to be a Mum :D that's so cool! Would you like a girl or a boy or doesn't it matter as long as they are healthy?

A) Congratulations, beautiful Earley family!

B) I'm a HUGE Lucy fan, and that is my favorite episode! Lots of people love the chocolate factory one or the stomping grapes one, but no. For me, it's all about telling Desi they're having a baby! :)

Good luck freelancing and on Etsy. I'm sure you'll do great, and I hope you enjoy it!
