So far, so good…

I have blogged every day. Something I really got away from and I think it’s definitely important now that I have so many people wondering what I’m up to. Hopefully I can keep up with it…

Sarah and I got to see Pirates III last night… good movie, although exceptionally long. They probably could have cut about a half hour out of the thing and had it still be a good movie. I don’t think it was as good as the other two, but still worth seeing. I give it a 7.5/10.

Nothing new on the job front today… deciding whether or not I should look for a temp job while searching for something more permanent. I’m going to contact a few recruiters today to see if I can shake anything loose, and there’s a job fair next Tue in Cinci. That should at least get me in front of some hiring personnel and hopefully I can find something I’m interested in there. A bunch of larger companies will be there, including Social Security Admin, PNC Bank and Home Depot. Keep your fingers crossed.

We stopped looking for houses in the area until we know how much money we’re going to make… but once we have an idea, we’ve got a few places we’re interested in. Hopefully they’ll still be on the market at that point.

Into each life, a little rain must fall…

Buyer’s Remorse…

…is something the folks who were going to purchase our home won’t feel any time soon — they decided not to buy and are renewing their apt lease. Needless to say we are pretty bummed. Hopefully a new buyer will come along soon… we need to get this thing going ASAP.

Things are starting to fall into place here… have a lot to do, but feel like we’re making headway. Sarah and I went looking at areas that we might want to live and there are a lot of affordable houses in the near vicinity… now all I need is a job. I have called to set up a face-to-face with one of the top tech recruiters in the area this week and hopefully can get them working for me soon. There’s also a job fair next Tue in the area… I’ve never been to one before, believe it or not, but I went ahead and registered for it. Gotta keep pluggin’ away…

We are also looking into possibilities of Sarah doing some “work-from-home” stuff… so if anyone has any leads, let us know…

If at first you don’t succeed…
