Little Slice of Heaven.....
My little slice of heaven is built upon tiny little glimpses of the sometimes churning depths of my soul.

The plants in my garden know enough of my daily angst and secret desires to fill the E! Daily News Gossip Column for a year straight. Whenever I water all the plants I end up standing there and letting my myriad of thoughts flow out, right along with the water from the hose. At least that way my venting is productive – you wouldn’t believe how much the plants have grown and flourished.

There have been so many times when I have wanted to tell my dad or my mom that they’re being an insensitive jerk, my friends that I am feeling particularly lonely on a given weekend and would really like to feel included, or everyone at work that they need to stop piling on the projects because as it stands I’m at my wits’ end and ready to blow…..

Maybe some of those times it would be better for me to just say something right then, instead of pausing to think if it really is important before I open my mouth.

...My coveted little slice of heaven would not be so lush and leafy.

Chicago Update
So I'm not moving to Chicago.

I was ready (for the right price, so to speak)... BUT:

After a day and night filled with deliberation, potential budgeting, and what-if-isms, I strolled into my office Thursday morning with the intention of presenting the ultimate "You make it worth my while and I'll make it worth your while" proposal to my boss....

.... I have come to the conclusion that when I really don't want something to happen I just blog about it and it goes away (lol)...

Apparently one day after my CEO tells my boss to "do whatever it takes to get E out to Chicago," he calls my boss up again in a small panic and instructs her to retract the proposition, stating that "E is too valuable to the San Diego office."

Um, ok. I have a new proposal:

Since I'm so "valuable," how about keeping me here in San Diego but giving me the raise *anyway*?

....it was worth a shot....
