Weather Updates on the Tens

It's been interesting to live the life of the unemployed. At first I gleefully scoured corporate websites, searching for job opening and sending off my resume with glowing cover letters. But as the weeks pass with no word, ennui set in. You do a bit of soul searching and start to question whether the career path you've chosen is still your best option. This is a rare opportunity to truly evaluate my future and make changes as I see fit. Should I make an about face and train at a culinary academy? Should I volunteer with a worthwile organization and make a difference? Could I really give up all my schooling and experience to start new somewhere else? In my case, at this point, no. I love aerospace and I feel I have a lot more to learn about this exciting industry. So until I start to feel some reciprocal love from potential employers I'll keep on entertaining myself during the long hours of the day. Doing crosswords, training for a triathlon, preparing elaborate meals, shopping for new house furniture. It's all good. But hey, at least I haven't yet started injecting daytime tv into the veins to make myself comfortably numb.

Enough with the "my so called life", on to current events. Our house passed inspection with flying colors so we are one step closer to becoming legitimate Colorado residents. We are due back in LA at the end of the month to say hi to the folks out there and pick up our belongings, which have been languishing in storage since the first of the year. And we get our puppies back after 10 months of separation! This is all so exciting. To top it off, the first snow of the year is due to fall this evening (1-3") and I feel like a freakin' kid on Christmas Eve. Right now a steady cold drizzle is falling on the Front Range and I keep checking outside to see if those drops have fluffed into flakes yet. I promise to post winter wonderland photos tomorrow provided that mother nature cooperates. Looks like tonight I'll be making some hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Addendum
I woke up this morning to a grey sky and dry ground. My heart is breaking.
