It's amazing how much stuff I have to accomplish despite being unemployed, so that's my excuse for my recent absence and I'm sticking to it. I've been to the post office at least four times in the past two days. I'm getting all of my paperwork together for my certification application, say that five times fast. I have my daily walk/gym workout and then random grocery shopping. I went to the Texas Workforce the other day to ask about financial aid for schooling and it broke my heart how many people were there. All races, all ages, toting kids along; at least I'm at a stage in my life where my unemployment isn't earth shattering and can be rebounded from. I really am lucky. My biggest compl
aint besides being bored out of my mind is the lack of funds for all these neat things I have found. First off, a patio set so Matthew and I can "porch" in comfort. We grill at least once a week and right now are using a set of folding A&M chairs one of which is broken. The price is right, only $98, I just need to scrounge up half the cost. Of course then I'll want some outdoor pillows, citronella candles and the plants could definitely use some new additions. One day, I want to be able to grow my own herbs, but we'll save that for later. Secondly, since I have so much free time on my hands I have unwisely been looking at Etsy, aka the best site on Earth. There are so many amazing things out there for me to buy. First off, I'd like to know someone having a baby because there are so many sweet baby things that I co
uld bestow on some lucky friend. Things like this cute little darling, which I happen to already own. So the race is on, whoever has the first baby gets this adorable handmade elephant. Any takers? He doesn't really fit my decor, but since he was going to my ex-boss I decided he was much too cute to handover. Then, Matt and I have a big anniversary coming up in September, five years! We've already decided instead of getting each other presents we want to go in together on a new tv. So, I really need to go ahead and find a good part-time job so that I can start contributing to my life again. And lastly there's the next trip. We figured out that we want to head to Destin, Florida for our next vacation, whenever that might be. Again unwisely, I went ahead and looked into the hotels and inns there and found THE cutest bed&breakfast called the Henderson Place Inn (thought you might like that Lauren). It's been voted the best inn in Destin; every room has balconies ocean-side and amazing views of the ocean. The only problem is there prices are pretty steep so this trip will definitely require some saving up. And on that note, can I just say that I am seriously considering murdering Samantha Brown and stealing her job? I mean she gets to travel around the world soaking up culture, eating fabulous food and wearing really cute clothes. So in closing, you better watch it Samantha.
