Almost Happy Birthday To Me!
So, tomorrow I turn the big 29. The first day of my last year in my 20s. I know, I know, I'm not old and blah blah blah. Truth is, I'm not really dreading it, I'm not depressed about getting older or anything like that. In fact, I'm looking forward to this one. I've reached a point in my life where getting older really isn't all that scary. When I was 19, 29 looked so old. I couldn't imagine myself there. And yes, though I can't see myself at 39 right now, I also don't think 39 is old at all. I look around at my parents, my friends. I know quite a few people who are older than I am, and they don't seem old to me. Age is a state of mind, and I certainly don't act my age. :) With every year comes experience, and I wouldn't trade any of mine in. Not even the bad. Everything I've been through has made me who I am. And I can honestly say I like who I am. There are plenty of things I want to change...just read the Meg 2.0 post to see that. But who I am as a whole...I like her.
Anyhoo, I'm not feeling so good today, the last few days I've had a sore throat and a cough. Last night I passed out at 8:00...I shit you not. So, since I'm leaving for my vacation tomorrow, I decided to stay home from work and rest up. Nothing worse than being sick on your vacation. I am feeling better, but thought the extra day of rest would do me well.
Once I am back and feeling refreshed, I'll have more of Meg 2.0 for you. And I'll hopefully have some other news too. I applied for a position in our training department last week. They were supposed to get back to me by yesterday, but they didn't. And I'm not there today, so I guess I'll have to be in suspense until Tuesday. I also was just told about a position at a friend's company. Editorial assistant. Going back to my publishing roots. I don't have all the details of that yet, but will definitely find out more. There's always something. That's one of the things Meg 2.0 has taught me. When I feel like giving up, when I think nothing will ever go right and all my luck is bad....I have to remind myself that there is always something.
To quote the Rolling Stones for a moment..."You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need."
Don't know if I'll have time to post before I board my plane tomorrow...so if not...I'll check in when I get home! Later!

Hey Meghan,
It's been a long time since I've seen you around the GSHW! By the way...you are not OLD! I'll be thirty-six in May and I haven't even begun having a family yet...okay...so the career is good, but still. You have all the time in the world ahead of you. Sorry to read about all the crappy shit going on in your life. I know that things will get better for you soon so hang in there!

Hey Jenn! Thanks for stopping by! Sorry it took me so long to respond...this is the first time I've visted my blog since my last post. And I so miss the GSHW meetings! I'm going to try my best to make it there for May's meeting. So much going on, ya know. Anyhoo, thanks again for posting, and hopefully I will see you soon!
