As my closest friends and closest co-workers know (my co-workers can't help it - the cubical world can hide from no one...which is why I rarely, if ever, take personal calls at work. That and the entire world will know your business by morning break time.) I lovingly refer to my company on a social scale as a large sewing circle - with break rooms:)
Alas, I drift away from my story. That happens quite often to an ADD -inflicted single mom. I might have problems focusing on details, but I am GREAT as seeing "the BIG picture" - It's a weapon that allows me insight and foresight that astrology.com believes will lead to great things...even speculating if I can combine idealism with realism - there is no stopping me! I paid a mere $9.95 for those pearls of wisdom.
Anywho - I have lived a charmed life up until the night before my wedding. I did a study abroad in France while in college (and am still paying back the student loan), I completed internships with CNN and The Beach Boys, taught English in Japan...I could keep bragging but that would get old. Did I mention I was one of the youngest "Brand Managers" ever hired by ABC Radio Network's corporate office in Dallas?
In a nutshell, I was living the dream. Travelling at the drop of a hat, competing in triathlons, hitting happy hour with my girls in Dallas - not thinking twice about dropping $300 on a pair of shoes (I could shoot myself...and if my German-bred father ever reads this, he'll do it for me). Life wasn't only good until the night before my wedding, it was great! *insert Tony the Tiger voice*
I met my husband on match.com. I have no regrets and would recommend their services to anyone. Mary's 411: Try and date for more than a year before getting hitched. And the old adage our parents and teachers employed to scare us in to abstinence "it only takes one time to get pregnant!" - it's freaking true! More on that in The Bad JuJu - Part Two.
