Have a VERY Happy New Year!!!

Hello y'all, I'm back... I was a tad too depressed to write but I decided I had to get over it and pick myself up again, and so I did.

My New Year's Eve wasn't too much fun. I was gonna go to the party at my friends house but her husband invited my ex-husband and I had to stay home. Well he's a client of their accountancy firm so I guess paying customers come first :p Too bad I heard it just the day before... but oh well, I got over it.

I had loads of food and Dan had the day off so I spent my time online with him, and I even waited until midnight his time so I went to bed at about 7:30 am :')

And then it dawned on me again. I am divorced, don't have a house of my own, don't have a job... *SIGH* I keep on looking for jobs but I am either too old, overqualified, underqualified or lacking in experience. Or just no luck, like the job at Social Services, I got an email that they are interviewing internal candidates right now. I saw that as a big NO but my son said: 'Mom, at least you're still in the running!' Positive outlook... I would LOVE to  get that job!

At least my tax money has come in, so my ticket to Chicago is covered for this year. I asked Dan when he wants me to come over but we haven't decided yet. And he says I am so good at living at a budget... Well I am scared the money will just slowly dry up and disappear :') Sylvia said this year we're not gonna wait that long with my taxes, as soon as certain papers arrive she wants me to bring them over and arrange for my pocketmoney ;)

I had a 'big fight' with my babygirl last week. I was adjusting some stuff on FaceBook last year, added some relatives and stuff. And somehow my status changed from 'in a relationship' to 'engaged'. I must have clicked wrong somewhere or something. I really only noticed it because I started getting reactions. Of course it doesn't help that I have set my FB language to Pirate English :')

Anyhow, babygirl got 'congratulated' by a friend, and threw a hissy fit. I can imagine of course, especially since her brother told me not to tell her anything yet, inform her of my plans as late as possible. Because, yeah well, it is kinda true :p Dan and I decided to get married so we can be together and that seems to be the only way to get me in the States permanently, since I won't get a work visa.

So I gave in. I apologized to my daughter, changed my FB status again (which lead to questions from the same people that reacted to my 'engagement'). I know, I am a wuss. But I did tell her that her dad and I have been divorced for over a year now and that it's time to move on! Oh well, at least I don't have to keep it a secret anymore :p And we're only planning to marry 'for the good cause'. We've both been married before and we'd both prefer to just live together. But that seems to be impossible alas.

Oh well... A new year has started, new chances all around. I decided that my Year From Hell really started when I got laid off last year in May so I still have a few months to go. But I have survived up until now and will go on doing so ;)

You all just have a wonderful New Year! May almost all your dreams come true, and may there always be at least something to wish for, because life without dreams is so boring!
