Will write for food

So hey, we've got a lot of catching up to do. That's what happens when I blatantly ignore this dusty corner of the Internet. Just so I don't bore you to tears, especially for you short-attention-spanners, I'll bullet the highlights:

• I quit my job. Well, I gave three weeks' notice last week. I won't go into much about it here, but work became a situation I could no longer thrive in. Scary part? This is the first time I am leaving a job without having another lined up. Party on!

• My former boss bought me a new grill, I think because he felt bad. He's out of a job, too.

• The Cutlet (5 years old) now takes showers instead of baths.

• I don't believe in karma, but I also don't believe in coincidences. We bought a guy's dinner at Chili's a few weeks ago ... anonymously ... just because we felt like it. Last week, someone did the exact same thing for my entire family.

• The Riblet is talking now! Most of it is blah blah blah but every once in a while he'll throw in an "all gone!" or "bye bye!" or "daddy, go get me some eats!"

• I bought some new pants. This is especially relevant considering the job interviews I'll probably be going on.

• Yes, I've considered trying to build a photography business to sustain us, but I was hoping to build it gradually (like when I didn't have to use proceeds to buy groceries but could upgrade my equipment).

• "Upgrade my equipment" isn't meant to sound dirty. But it does!

• Bad things can happen in life, and it's not always a comfort to hear this when they do happen, but God is in control. Trust me, it's a good thing.
