About Me

Chicago, Illinois, United States
I am a 37 year old single girl who is sure the fairy tale must still exist. I am pretty outgoing, love being a fashionista and being with friends. I have been doing a lot of internal soul searching... And have learned much about myself. This blog, is what I'm continuing to learn about myself and others. (oh! And finding Prince Charming!)

Another Monday wouldnt be complete without one rant...

Well.... another Monday in the books, so to speak. For the last hour I have had the pleasure to read all about our great State's health insurance plan.

Considering I am currently unemployed by choice, (yes I am the woman who walked away from a job during the highest employment rate seen for awhile) I could have stayed and let it kill me... I didn't think that would be such a good idea and COBRA is not too bad, but the coverage totally sucks and I have "conditions" that let health insurance companies decline me right and left (love our health care here in America) I think I might actually be better off on the State program. That is if I can get approved by them. (Now that was one sweet rambling run on sentence if I've ever seen one!!)

If anyone has any questions, let me know. After deciphering and transcribing the information into a language normal people can understand, I now consider myself a partial expert. Once I have applied and gone through the entire process I will consider myself an expert. :)

Speaking of that awful job I gave my life to for two years only to be taken complete advantage of, pushed to the brink of a total breakdown due to stress, and left with a total depletion of energy and self confidence, I am grateful for a couple of things. Which are the following:

1) Teaching me that I am not what I "do" for a career. I am who I am because of my core values. I am nice, genuine, friendly, loving, honest, fun, outgoing, and an extremely dedicated person... etc etc etc.

2) Being...business "savvy" (trying to be very nice here) does not mean you are better than anyone else. It means you are a mean ass hole that does not care about people in general and you will do whatever needs to be done to get to where you want to be. Including but not limited to bullying, manipulating, lying, etc.

3) Knowing that I am not like the above mentioned people. And never will be.

4) Reminding me how to live again. I have read three books, found out who I am, taken photographs again, spent irreplaceable time with my joy, my number one love, my dog. I am cooking again, and love it. I have reconnected with people I lost touch with because I didn't had have the energy and time to continue AND I  am going out on DATES!!! WHAT?!!!??! For real!! I have a date tomorrow and one on Wednesday. Still have a day open this week..... ;)

5) And last but not least... sitting here jobless...and pretty broke... trying to get unemployment....I have my self-confidence back and happier than I have ever been.  So screw you ass holes who tried to break me. You lost.. I won. In spades!! :D
