I thought I would be a good blogger...and have failed already, but Andrew was sick last week and I was trying to be a good, nurturing, girlfriend. If you know me (which I assume you do if you are reading my blog), you know nurturing others does not always come easily to me; I think I did an uncharacteristically good job though! Now that everyone is well, blogging shall resume!
Two things:
1. I am watching The Price Is Right (yeah, that's right) and a lady got a chance to bid on a SHOEcase during the Showcase Showdown!!!! Her shoecase included 365 pairs of shoes from Nine West- yes, I said 365 PAIRS. Can you imagine?!?
2. If you are ever bored, or need to remind yourself of things to appreciate, check out 1000awesomethings. I had discovered this site a while back, but had forgotten about it until today. It lists small, routine things that are awesome in their own right. For the next few days, I will be listing thing I think are awesome. Stay tuned!

Job Search
I have finally broken down and joined the world of blogging! I don't know how avid of a blogger I will become, nor do I know how long this blog will live, but I have higher hopes since I have some time on my hands and lots of thoughts (note the name: KThoughts. Clever huh?). Stay tuned to see what becomes of this blog, and of me...
Warning! Honest candid thoughts ahead. No pity is being asked for!
So, the job search has been going on for quite some time now, with little luck. Now, I have had my share of interviews, but no job offers. I have found that job hunting takes a lot more patience and trust in yourself than I initially thought; It is hard to keep searching, submitting, interviewing, and networking when all you hear is "NO". It is also hard to have people constantly ask "what do you do?" and not have an answer. I mean, it seems like an innocent question and like a good way to break the ice, but this question gets old when I have nothing to say. People don't want to hear the truth: "well I sleep, check email, look for jobs, watch really awful daytime TV (don't even get me started on that), apply to jobs, go to the library, go to the gym, rinse and repeat." Yeah, no one wants to hear that. If you know of any good positions available, keep me in mind!
