Random Life Issues

Today has been a hard day.  In fact the past few days have been really challenging and I am not sure what is going to happen.  I did get a new job that is fabulous.  I will tell you all more about it later.  I will be working with great new people and traveling even more than I thought.  Modeling has turned out to be great in that area. 

Not so great is the fact that I am running out of options of finding a place to comfortably live.  To get a lease in New York you have to have credit worthiness of 40 X the monthly rent.  I do not have that! The other option is to pay the years rent upfront... around $30-40,000 for a cheap studio apartment.  I also don't carry that in my pockets :-)  So my options now are to be homeless or be homeless! 

I am not staying with the agency that brought me to New York, like I said, I got a better offer from someone else.  Monday I am going in to discuss getting my new bosses to help me with the living situation.  I will not live with other people again (druggies) and I will not live somewhere without being on the lease.  I have been in both of the situations and both times I ended up getting locked out with nowhere to go.

I am still glad I made the move out here and that I have this job but I cannot wait for the day I have a place to go and relax, a bed to sleep in and a freaking blanket!   One day! I have hope. 

Changing the subject...I like to read Jason and Rhonda's friends blog called The Life Of Titus, his birthday is coming up and I must say that kid is amazing and everyone should read their blog.  It's so encouraging and his dad does a great job of writing.  I love how much hope they have even though they face so many challenges.  I can't help but notice how small my issues are and see how great families really are for one another.  

I'm looking forward to Christmas at home more and more everyday!  I can't wait to see you all. 

And I went ice skating!
