Happy December

So my poor blog was completely neglected so I'm sure you noticed that I did NOT post every week like I wanted. I also didn't do the reading that I had wanted.

 But I DID pick up my knitting. My huge dream goal would be to finish my knitting project by Christmas to give it as a gift...but I've been having a little difficulty with that since my cat thinks its fun to attack it...so we'll have to work on that.  I also got a new job-sort of-I have been working at another call center for Christmas money, but I really want to find something where I can focus on my marketing skills, so we'll see how that pans out.  

I also finished a really cute craft project, but not my t-shirt quilt.  I promise to write a blog about the ADORABLE gift that I made for Lily for her birthday.  

But let's not focus on last month...let's look forward!  Here's what I'm hoping to do in December. 

1. Dream goal: to finish my scarf that I'm knitting to give it as a Christmas gift

But only if I can find time to knit that doesn't involve my cat attacking me!  

2. Keep up the job search

I'm really wanting to find a way to use my skills more.  I feel that I have been really lucky to learn the things that I did in my previous experiences and I want to get the opportunity to use those skills to affect change in people's lives and my community.  

3. Send my Christmas cards and finish my Christmas shopping! 

I think this one is pretty obvious!  

4. Blog once/week 

I really want my blog to feel a little more love! 

5. Get out of this rut!  

I've been feeling pretty low lately.  And just feel like I can't pull myself back up on my feet.  I really want to get myself moving both physically and mentally.  I don't know if that's just changing up my habits, going to the gym, or what that looks like quite yet...but I really want to get things mixed up so that I bounce back from this rut.  

Happy December!  Get those Christmas cards sent out so everyone knows you love them before the end of the world!  LOL!

Your Blog: Resume Boost or Liability?

I have recently read two different blogs that have both touched on the same topic. How your blog affects your resume and/or job search. The first was an interview with Sasha Halima, one of my favorite bloggers, at PR Breakfast Club. You can read it here. The second is on Brand Yourself, Your Blog is Your Extended Resume . Brand Yourself argues just what the title says that a blog is an extended resume and that when a potential employer searches for you and finds a blog full of fabulous content, they'll hire you. And while I couldn't agree more that I AGONIZED over the fact that potential employers were most likely Googling me and getting results for some person in Seattle or a Blues Singer in New York the interview with Sasha Halima said something that also struck a chord with me. Your blog can be a "liability." That is the scariest word that any potential employer could ever say because, if you're a liability to them, odds are other potential employers

Julie & Julia

Today Megan (my cousin) took me to Julie & Julia (we got in free because she works there). It was a really good movie, which made me happy because I had heard some people hadn't liked it and thought it was a slow movie, but I loved it. If you haven't seen the movie the basic premise is that Julie (Powell, the author of the book the movie is based from) works her way through Julia (Childs, the world renowned cook) cookbook. She gives herself 365 days and there were 540-ish recipes in the cookbook. She then wrote a blog about it, which became really famous, she was offered book deals, etc. But the point of the movie was that she decided to do something, gave herself a deadline, accomplished it, and it changed her life. So, when I came home I was 1. Hungry (I can't watch food and not want to eat...its the reason I can't watch the food network) 2. Inspired...I decided to cook something...experimentally too. I made soup that I used canned chicken noodle soup and s
