Mrs. Meatball, Hollywood Age and Occupation: 30, Actor/Writer/Office Maven Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Actor/Writer Engagement Date: October 7, 2007 Wedding Date: May, 2009 Blogging Since: September 16, 2008 Venue: Private Garden/The Bungalow Club About Me: I love melty cheese and diet coke almost as much as I love my man. I'm from Chicago, he's from NYC, and we both miss public transit and great pizza. We have an adorable muppet dog called Paco. I'm part hippie with a healthy dash of hip hop superstar, have excessive empathy for animals, and have not one, but two bionic eyes (long story). We're broke and it ain't no joke. It can't stop us from planning the bold and whimsical wedding of our dreams, but we've had to get pretty creative to make it work, yo!

I feel like I’ve had a bit of Debbie Downer-itis lately…. constantly bemoaning our nonexistent employment status and frustration. But a new dawn is on the horizon, folks!

That’s right, I am a working girl again! I got a last-minute replacement gig temping at a local nonprofit as an executive assistant. The best part is that it’s open-ended with potential to become permanent, so I get to try it on for size and see how it fits! It’s only 10 minutes from my house, which is amazing by LA standards. So far it’s going great!

I can’t say what a relief it is to have reliable income again, and to not spend my day sending resumes into the ether, hoping for a call.

Those of you who are still struggling for stability—know that it may take time, but it will come!

Thanks for your support through this “down” time. Now I can redirect my focus back to wedding planning and blogging—so get ready for loads of goodness!
