So I guess it was not goodbye forever. Or even for very long!
Blah – I’m sad to report, my ‘dream job’ actually turned out to be quite the opposite. So in less than 2 weeks time, it’ll be back to the drawing board for me. In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s a been a difficult few months over here! And while on the one hand I’d love to go back to just having a normal life, I’m really glad I’m here right now and not still gazing out of my little cubicle and wishing for things to start happening on their own. I’ve learned so much in such a short time and through it all I’m beyond thankful for the support of my family and friends. Things could always be worse!
Certainly when the going gets tough, it’s important to have happy things to keep you grounded. Like spending lots of time with good friends and laughing from the bottom of your tummy about how ridiculous it all is and taking fun classes at the gym and reading a good book and going for a walk in the sunshine and enjoying a glass of wine or piece of chocolate and long chats on the phone and lovely meals in and out and well of course, writing a blog.
I really, really missed Dining and Dishing and all of my sweet readers and fellow bloggers. It wasn’t until I said goodbye that I really realized what a huge part of my life D&D had become and how much happiness and contentment it brought me each day. Who would walk away from that!? And so we’re back. Sorry for being so here there and everywhere lately but if nothing else I promise you no shortage of material

Bethy,
While it was gone I really missed checking in with your blog. It kept me company when I was traveling the globe.
Job wise it’s a great pity, but I think you are simply the victim of bad luck in this venture.
Something much better is just around the corner.
