Okay, I'm just giving a bit of an update in what's going on in my life. Most everyone already knows, but for those that are stalking me and just can't live another day without finding out what I had for breakfast (which, by the way, was nothing because I wasn't hungry) here is my update.
I've recently come back to Utah because I don't have a job up in Washington anymore. I could have stayed up there but life isn't cheap in Washington. I already miss it, though. From the odd weather to the even odder traffic. It's great to see my family, but I honestly feel a bit hollow inside right now being away from Paul. I don't like being away from him. I've had some fun moments to try to fill in the gap, but it's just not the same, for some reason.
I'm still actively pursuing jobs in Washington and I've looked at some places in Utah, there just don't seem to be as many companies hiring out here. However, I did hear that Microsoft is laying off about 5,000 people so it shows that the economy that avoided Washington is starting to hit there, too.
In more debilitating news in regards to a career for me is the fact that many newspapers are laying off/closing doors. There are two main reasons for this: the first is that the economy just isn't helping those sorts of businesses and the second is that the internet is ruining the printed word. Curse you internet! Words on paper are so much more fascinating than words on a screen! An e-book can never take over a real book! The thought makes me sad and want to shed many large tears. Half the joy in reading is holding a book and smelling the pages and fresh ink. I LOVE BOOKS!!! To me it's hard to get lost in something that glows against your face. A book is so much more calming and relaxing. People, you're making me sad by you're constant and persistant use of the internet for your reading!
On the bright side, I have learned I just might actually be qualified for an editing job at some point in the future when people learn from their mistakes and the economy rights itself again. I've also started another short story posted on another private blog that I'm hoping will some day turn me in to the next Flannery O'Connor. Or something like that.
Well, if I had something wise to say I'd say it here. Since I don't, I'll just say: Until next time, folks.

No worries. You will be back in Washington before you know it and I'll be able to visit you. You're right about books, they are so much better than computers. With computers there are a hundred other things that you could do instantly and people trying to talk to you and ads and dropped networks. With books, it's just you and the book. Nothing else exists. Keep looking. Something will come up. But, until then, I'm glad you're here.
