People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them that I love my job, that I look forward to going to work, but it's had such a positive impact on everything else. Keep up updated on the crazy awesome things!

Although I always copped out of playing it because I picked colors like cerulean and chartreuse that no one would ever guess. =) Laura - I'm glad you stopped by again! And I'm so glad that the information about CFC was useful to you, and I hope it will continue to be useful. Be sure to read some of the publications they have on the site, particularly <a href="http://www.catholicsforchoice.org/topics/abortion/documents/2004notesoncanonlaw1_001.pdf" rel="nofollow">this one</a> (PDF) and <a href="http://www.catholicsforchoice.org/topics/reform/documents/2006catholicsandcontraception.pdf" rel="nofollow">this one</a> (PDF). Andrea - Thanks! I'm so psyched about it. Everyday at my temp job is total drudgery right now. Only another week and a half - that's what I keep telling myself anyway.

I've been trying to break into the non-profit world with no success as of yet. Hopefully soon. Congrats on the job! I’ve been trying to break into the non-profit world with no success as of yet.

I'm so thrilled to hear that you're leaving the temp world for non-profit. I'm a big proponent of the non-profit world (my boyfriend currently works at one), and I'm also a huge fan of Quality of Life over Quantity of Stuff and Prestige. I work in academe, which is also non-profit, and my quality of life is at an all-time high, even though I don't own an iPod, a flat screen tv, a fancy car (mine is referred to as a "meep-meep"), or a Coach handbag. I've never been happier. Also, I'm so glad that you posted a link in your blog to your former employer in DC who is "fighting a pretty big battle". I'm a Catholic who has always struggled with extreme guilt about my pro-choice stance, but learning of Catholics for Choice gives me hope that maybe someday I'll be able to let go of that guilt and feel that I'm still a good, God-loving Catholic feminist with a moral center. Bless you for sharing. I'm rootin' for you! with love from Pittsburgh... Stopped by again to see if hopefully you’d posted, and you did!
