National Blog Posting Month

What do you do for a living?

I am a WOHM - graphic designer/web developer and sometimes freelance photographer. I've been working professionally since 1991.

To make things more interesting, my hubby works at the same company I do. Although it *does* allow for lunch dates!

But since I'm an accountant, and he's an IT guy, there's little chance of us working right along side each other, unless we owned our own business.; ▶ Reply to This

I work at the University of California, Santa Barbara in the Global Studies dept. as the "Web and Publications Coordinator" which translates to ANYTHING that has to do with the web site, graphic design, desktop publishing, and resident tech geek.

I'm also mom to Sofia, who turns the big ONE 11/17. She's our one and only (and last!) child, and was born 3 months early. What a roller coaster!; ▶ Reply to This

It's mostly data entry loading applications to our database, but it pays well and I get free college tuition. I'll hopefully be starting a master's program here soon to take advantage of that perk!; ▶ Reply to This

I help a lot with my husband's business as well-he owns a commercial tile company. I provide any professional writing he needs, as well as some occasional hard labor.; ▶ Reply to This

We have has our loud discussions about different aspects of our business. Yes, it's nice sometimes to get out on my own with friends. Yes, we are opposites in most every way in how we approach things. But, we also have the opportunity to really know each other and we have grown individually as well as together because of this.

It's probably not for every couple but, never having time together would be a tragedy too.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Ashley Ladd on October 18, 2008 at 5:17pm: I forgot to add that I met my husband on a job. We worked together at a big amusement park in Ohio when we were teenagers. Then he helped me get another job with him later. Although it worked out then, I don't think there's any way I could work with him now. My oldest son worked with me at my current day job for a few years as recently as a couple years ago. That was nice. I rarely saw him and we each did our jobs but we'd get together for lunch a couple times a month or so. I miss having him there.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Ashley Ladd on October 18, 2008 at 5:15pm: I work two jobs. I'm a customer service manager for a charity where I've worked going on 15 years. I also write romance novels and am published at http://www.total-e-bound.com and http://www.ellorascave.com I also have books on submission to Harlequin and The Wild Rose Press. Wish me luck.

On top of that my youngest two children are still in school (we have 5 kids from 27 - 13 - 3 boys/2 girls) and I'm constantly running my daughter to her softball games or to her friends' houses.

I like to blog and walk and read. I have a lot of contest entries to read this month so I have to get busy on that. I have a couple of edits to do as well. I like to walk when I find time - time, what is it?

I try to blog at least a week ahead to keep up with it but today's my last post so I have to get busy this weekend again.; ▶ Reply to This
