My life
I have been trying to figure it out for years... college was supposed to help prepare me, but I feel like it did nothing but discourage me. What a way to start out life. At any rate, I want to know what to do with myself for a career. It has to be creative, I know, otherwise I'd detest whatever I did, but which way? I could do web stuff, graphic design stuff, design wedding invitations, photography, jewlery design, pastry art, so many things. Then I was watching a show tonight about storefront window designers, and that seemed really interesting too. I just feel so lost, without a purpose. I hate sitting here doing nothing all day. I know that there are people who probably think I have it just the way that I want it, but that's not the case. Unless I am doing something that has a purpose, I feel useless. And I don't like feeling like that. I realize that there are no immediate answers, but it's getting on 7 months now, and it feels like forever. I guess I'll have to think about it and talk to the big guy, but I hope something clarifies real soon. I just need that break. Isn't it my time yet? Or maybe I'm just being selfish. There's just so many things that I want to do and can't get going in any of them. Half of it's my fault, and the other half is money.

Look up bootstraping and you will find out that many a startup does better without much money. If you want your own creative business you dont need much money if any. First you need customers who are willing to pay you!
I saw that on HGTV last night too (at like 1:00 in the morning while I was waiting up for Pete to come home from a concert)! I could totally see you doing something like that - if you're really interested you should get in touch with Kellie O'Brien - her aunt does windows for Marshall Fields. Otherwise, have you ever thought about wedding planning (or is it just too stressful)?
I could probably do someone else's wedding... i think it would be slightly less stressful that way. It's hard, because i have so many ideas but no idea which way to go! Windowdressing would be fun. and so would wedding planning and invites and photography and all that stuff... haha. I need a career counselor! oi.
I got your invitation today! F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! :) Very nice job!
Omigod Dana! Were you reading my mind?? I know exactly how you feel. For me, I have sooo many things I want to do that I know I am capable of, but other things always get in my way. Mostly, it's a money issue, but it's also a motivation issue. It's hard to find inspiration sometimes! Do you want to go to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts with me? As far as art, I only like paintings and architecture. Right now they have an exhibition called, 'Villa America: American Moderns 1900-1950' that I really, really want to see. You can check it out here:

Maybe if you experience creative things, you will find what you are looking for. Let's get inspired together, friend! :)
lets! i haven't been there since high school. do you know how much it costs to get in? i didn't see anything on their website about entrance fee, but i don't know of many museums that are free...
