But here is a bit more insight as to why I am not blogging for a little while. In short, I am a whiner. And I am just not in a good mood 80% of the time. For example, here is what is going through my mind.
- I just finished reading the Penn Gazette (Penn's Alumni Magazine). Apparently, many alumni are really successful, including people I graduated with. While I am happy for them, and my school in general, I read the magazine while watching Wheel of Fortune. I got the bonus puzzle right because I HAD ALREADY SEEN THE EPISODE. That is how lame my life is. I am reading a magazine about the accomplishments of my peers while taking in a rerun of America's Game. Awesome.
- I have to stop watching shows like "So you think you can dance" or "America's Got Talent" and "Top Chef." I find myself jealous of people who have some an actual talent. I wish I had a talent. One beyond something like ridiculous clothes memory. Because I am not sure it qualifies as a talent and there will never be America's Best Clothes Memory where the grand prize is $1 million. By the way, if you DVR America's Got Talent, you can watch the entire hour long episode in approximately 6 minutes. I squeezed last night's in between the end of Wheel and the first dance of So you think you can dance.
- I have realized that I really do not want to be a lawyer anymore. I also have realized after a week at my parents' house in S.C. that if the bottom drops out of my financial life (i.e. job loss, etc.) I cannot move in with them. I would go crazy. I am really at a loss. And I am tired. And stressed. And operating without a safety net. For the first time, I would put "new job" on my wishlist above "decent relationship."
- I kind of hate my house. I love it in a rational way, but for some reason I have never had a good vibe here. I thought the new bathroom and bedroom would make it better, now I just regret it all and the corresponding cash outlay. Maybe there is some feng shui issue or something.
So I am taking a break to safe everyone, actually not super sure anyone reads this anymore, from my constant whining. I am sick of myself.

So, I read this blog, all the time! And, you are not always whiney. And, it's always, always fun to hear funny Jillian stories. You should keep going!
I think people read it, you just haven't been posting so maybe they've been forgetting to check it.
i'm sorry about your bathroom :( I love it. I can help wiht feng shui when I come!!! I will help so you love it. That's my guarantee!
yeah - i'm pretty sure you have a pretty strong houston following of readers.
helpful (or maybe not so helpful) kwon hints:
1) take that job in h-town!
2) sell your house
3) j and harley can be BFF
4) you can come over to my house and watch top chef all you want. especially masters. hubert keller is my idol.
5) two words: taco cabana.
OK OK - this is my totally selfish ploy to have you here with me. but it would be awesome....
I read you too...I am on hiatus myself though so I get it. I felt whiny too, which is why I took my blog private for a while.
My new job sucks ass and will be 80 hours a week and I live with 2 unemployed (through no fault of their own) dudes (one of whom is my fiance...yeah, this wedding will be super awesome being as we can afford oh...NOTHING). SO I hear you- on the hiatus. I'll be thinking of yout hough. I figure things just can't suck forever!
Right?
I agree with Nancy. She selfishly conned me into moving to Houston and I would say it's worked out well for me. And you've just provided me with a handful of laughs on my break from the 48 hour shift in the home for diabled children here in S africa. So it can't be all bad -- hang in there. happy 4th!
Aunt A agrees with Bizarley. I can't promise lots of single men (since I am still single). However, I have found that if 2 signle gals go out the chances of getting hit on multiply like 6,000 compared to a single girl and a single guy. So, in conclusion....it is just math. You need to take whatever job Bizarely is mentioning in H-town and get down here ASAP.
And I'm super sad you are taking a blog break. I'm sick of everyone taking off "for the summer." Isn't that when we all are supposed to have more free time anyway???!!!
I am just catching up after a dark hiatus of my own. I NEED Jillian stories. No offense to concrete city, but come on. The Bay is where you need to be!
Dude, I too am on a blogging hiatus due to having nothing to talk about other than how much I need a new job and have been consistently striking out in my attempts to get one for, like, a year. Wahh!
I don't have any helpful hints, really, except don't feel bad about watching TV! Unless you actually dislike that you are watching TV (as opposed to disliking the idea of it), in which case maybe try not watching TV for a week and see how that works? I have considered doing that but have not put it into action yet.
A friend of mine recommended I start reading your blog because it was so brilliantly written. I now LOVE reading it and as does every friend and family member I have recommended it to. It is so funny and moving - please do not stop writing. You have many loyal fans (and should consider writing as a profession).
