happy monday
When "Happy Monday" is usually an evil oxymoron, today it rings true. I have a fresh new prospective on life today and I am excited to put this new prospective to work for me.
First, I can't leave out that one of the main reasons this is a happy Monday is due to the fact that I am currently sitting at home with my laptop in front of me looking out on a beautiful, cloudless, humidity-free, 82 degree day. In a couple of hours, I plan on venturing over to my parents pool and sunning myself to a nice bronze. However, in the meantime, I am putting myself to work.
I must start out by saying that I had an amazing birthday on Friday. I have lots and lots of fabulous friends that called to wish me a happy birthday, received cool celebratory gifts, and topped off the day jamming out to Tom Petty and The Allman Brothers that night with my hubby, my brother, and a handful of fun, crazy friends. Saturday was spent down the beach with a bunch of my girlfriends to celebrate yet another (and I think the last one of the year) bachelorette party. The weekend was a blast from start to finish. Now to get to the 'new prospective' part...
So yesterday I spent the good part of 3 hours in the car with one of my best friends, driving home from the beach. Although most of the 3 hours was spent in horrendous beach traffic, it was great to catch up on every aspect of our lives. One of the many conversations involved our career aspirations and how I have been increasingly frustrated with my current job situation. And I couldn't help but think about that amazing job opening I stumbled upon on Wednesday at the amazing company that I had been eyeing up for so long...and I was getting angry with myself for even thinking of letting what could potentially be an amazing opportunity pass me right on by. It is very unlike me to ignore opportunity knocking on my door - and this one was banging. How could I pass this up? Yes, so I want to finish my certificate program. But wouldn't my happiness be worth at least submitting my resume to see what happens? And if the offer was in front of me to leave my current job, wouldn't my happiness be worth forking out the dough to pay for these classes myself?
Get out the Pledge. My resume is getting dusted off. I am going to give this my best shot and hope for the best. It's a revelation I want to scream from the rooftops - and the anticipation of what will happen next is killing me.

I'm so proud of you! And who knows, maybe this new company would pick up the tab.
