Introduction

So as I am sure you can all tell from the title of my blog, that my "fairy tale" hasn't lived up to the expectations lately.

A little about me. I will have been married for three years this upcoming May. Out of the past 2 years and 9 months, I have spent at least 9 months (more than one occasion) separated from said husband.

I'm in a constant struggle to keep up with school given that I work (on a good week) 45 hours a week, not including the time spent at home with the blackberry glued to my hands.

98% of my family is 750 miles away; there goes my support system...

Oh, and in the three years I've spent in Charlotte, I've managed to create... oh... zero(?!) lasting friendships.

And now we get to the blog. I have decided that the only person able to change things is me. So that's what I'm doing. Going out to countless female related meetups in an effort to create lasting friendships, dealing with the ups and downs of my marriage, all while trying to maintain a 3.5 GPA and not drive myself crazy in the confines of my cubicle.

Welcome to my life.
