Shifting my Focus........For now?

From reading the majority of my blogs, one can see that I've put way too much focus on dating/finding love and in doing so, I feel as if I've been neglecting other important things in my life, such as my job search, my house, and my friends. After recent events/disappointments with guys, I feel as if I should shift my focus away from dating/relationships and concentrate on the ohter things listed above.

For example, my work situation is rather sad. Although each of the two jobs (Non-profit & Retail) I currently work have its moments of fun, I'm a college graduate with a bachelors degree and I should be making at least $40,000 per year, but I'm barely making $30,000 at these two jobs. Also, with me working these two jobs, I have to work all sorts of odd hours and it leaves me little time to do anything constructive. Although I have sent out applications to various government positions as well as positions in the Human services field, I have not recieved any feedback I still have faith that my skills and expericne will lead to gainful employment, but only if keep it up and my attitude positive.

As for my house, my parents moved out close to two years ago and I've been watnting to move into the larger room in my basement for quite some time. Sadly the decor leaves little to be desired with it's 1970's wood panneling and bright blue walls. I've bought some furniture pieces from IKEA, a bigger bed, and some paint. I should take the time to get everything organized, put together, and painted so the room won't look so tacky and it will be ready to live in.

Finally with my friends, It has been a good couple months since I have hung out with most of them and I really miss being part in their lives/social scene. I should be more active with calling them and seeing how they're doing maybe even find the time to invite them to hang out. There's also a camping trip comming in JUNE and I definitley don't want to miss that.

In conclusion, I've got a LOT to keep me occupied and things I need to work towards if I'm gonna be successful, whether it be finding a better job, redesigning my room, maintaining my friendsships. I've also been told that "love" comes when you're not looking for it. Maybe while I'm working on these things, "Love" will come my way. For example, if I'm working one job I'll have more free time to go out with my friends and meet new people/lovers?. Also, At my new job, I might meet a really hot guy : ) or When I'm at IKEA a cute sales person will check me out (Literally). Anyway, like I said, it's now their turn to come to me because right now I'm gonna be a bit too busy to search for "LOVE"
