Happy Birthday to me!

Logging in to blogger this morning I see that my last post was back in March. This gives me pause as I think about everything that has happened over the past couple months, as well as things I hope happen in the coming 2 months.
As the title suggests - today is my birthday, 31 to be spot on. I guess I don't feel one way or the other about the age, though I am becoming more conscious of what I left behind in my 20's.
I made reference to changes, so I feel I should throw them out there in capsulated, nutshell form; moved back to Union City, resigned from my job (which I had tried so hard to get) finishing the year out though so now I am back to driving 90 miles /2 hours 1 way, add that with the price of gas and I get sick thinking of $$ going nowhere - its like paying rent, yeah it works but you aren't really owning anything for your money. Ok so where was I, oh right - let my teaching license run out so needed to enroll in Masters Program, signed on for a summer course @ damn near 1k in fees.. shabang, did I mention I have no job? So here I sit on my birthday with money / finances / jobs on the brain; how can you get excited about gifts (just give me money so i can survive) how can you not feel guilt buying yourself a 4 pack of Guiness ( money that should be saved) and don't even think about saving money to buy and xbox 360 you selfish prick.

Well, there it is not only a new post but a slightly dirty screen covered window into where I am at. I promise next one will be back in the saddle! oh, and I have dsl @ home now so I have no excuse :)
