I haven't checked in for awhile, but there's not much new. Still no job. I'm registered for some jobs through the state department of personnel, and on Friday will take a test to be qualified for another job. It would be sweet irony--it's with the state cabinet that was my former firm's biggest client. I'm not holding my breath because I have the wrong party affiliation for my state's current administration.

I'm reading The Complete Idiot's Guide to Adoption. I think we need to go on and start this process, even without my having a job. It's going to take awhile, and I am going to find employment, even if it doesn't seem like it right now. My parents are more than willing to help us out financially. I'm just so independent that I hate the idea of borrowing money from them, but as I recall, they borrowed money from my grandparents when they were about the same age G and I are now. And this is certainly a fabulous reason to accept money. It's nice to know that our families will be so behind us on this.
