Follow the Yellow Brick Road

I have spent the last month bored out of my mind. My weekday routine as an unemployed gal now involves the following: sleeping in every day, taking long steamy showers, searching for jobs, and watching Oprah. Daytime television is just awful, and yet I still spend about two hours of the afternoon flipping through the channels hoping to find something worth watching. I should be spending my time in a more constructive manner (like, uh, writing or something). My motivation to be productive on these lonely weekdays is extremely low.

However, I must pat myself on the back for taking over some of the domestic duties that I previously heaped upon my fiance such as cleaning, grocery shopping, and cooking (err-- reheating). It's not something that he should get used to though; I have realized in the last few weeks that I absolutely hate being domestic any more than I have to.

I have had a few interviews, and within the next two weeks I will be probably be forced to choose between two options:

1) Full time position as an Internet copywriter.
The pros: It pays very well and offers excellent benefits.
The cons: This job will not give me the experience I need to transition into an advertising career. In fact, I will most likely find the work tedious and stifling.

2) Part time Internship at an Advertising Agency.
The pros: The first step towards a career in advertising, giving me the experience I need in a job that I would love.
The cons: The internship is part time, pays a meager $10 an hour, and is located brutally far from my apartment. It would require that I work another part time job just to make ends meet.

My weekends have been entirely dedicated to wedding plans, which is actually very fun at this point. I am starting to get excited about what is going to be a kick ass party! And the sentimental stuff is getting to me during certain moments...The more I think about it the more confident I am that getting married will be wonderful. My relationship seems very strong right now, even with the stress of losing half of our income.
