Manic Monday - Exercise the first....

The challenge: make a resume.

Easy enough, right? I've done it a million times before. Find the job, tailor the resume to highlight my relevant experience, qualifications and skills for the position.  No sweat.  Here's the catch: the position I am applying for with this resume is "Wife."

The purpose: personal inventory.

What do I bring to the table? What are my assets? My transferrable skills?  What is my related education?  I've also encouraged my cousin (another 30-year old, gorgeous, educated single woman) to participate in this challenge with me.  Feel free to join in the fun - I'd love to hear how the process goes for others.

I'll post my resume here by the end of the week.

The Married Guy's Best (girl)Friend

I am your quintessential married guy's platonic girlfriend -- safe, fun, wife-friendly, and open to talking about just about anything without the (not-so) subtle 'it-should've-been-us' subtext or worse yet - an air of 'it-still-could'.  I'm the "good girl" who is going to make some man a great wife...someday.  Well, that's what they keep telling me - the many, many men who count me as the one who got away.  I've even been engaged - twice, in fact. Once when I was too young to make good decisions and once when I was old enough to change my mind before I made a bad one.  So, now I'm keeping track of it all --my mistakes and theirs -- and hoping that somewhere in all the blogging, I'll find my way to someday. To Mr. Right. To my very own happy wedded ending.

I'm embarking on a quest of self-awareness, self-improvement and self-disclosure.  I welcome your comments, feedback, suggestions and observations.  I also encourage you to join me on some of my personal challenges and share yours, too!!
