Blog Overhaul

So this blog sits unused, as getting to 101 in 1001 didn't really happen.  Like so many things in my life, my intentions were good, and they just went nowhere.
I have been neglecting posting on a particular forum because I know some people who shouldn't find out information online will see it, but I need an outlet, so I have decided to try blogging about what is going on in my life. Hopefully it will help me get through the next while as we are dealing with so much uncertainty, so many unknowns.  I am hoping blogging for me will also help me with some of the stuff I am working on for work, as I am trying to get more and more social media savy for work.  We'll see how my follow through is here, or if it becomes yet another good idea...

So, to catch up, I used the title because I keep using that computer game/tv show from a million years ago as a reference to my life, you know, "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" I loved that game, and the show.  But it does sort of feel like my life right now.  D is 6 months (or so) away from finishing his PhD and then we have a big black hole.  He's not sure what he wants to do next, and in this economy, his options have changed drastically.  Fortunately for us, he works in a field that is pretty hot still, plus he's pretty good at what he does, so we're still pretty optimistic.  We're torn between going off on a big adventure, and settling down and having kids and truly starting a longterm life together, and all the options in between.  Also depending on where and when we go, affects the timing of kids. It's all so complicated, and tiring, and means that my brain spends a lot of time exhausting it's hamster.  I am trying to live in the now until we know more, but I am a planner, and so when that doesn't work, I need a place to vent.  I think I might come here. :)
