…off. (Come on folks, you know I don’t write about that stuff. I mean, with the Seal reading and all- how inappropriate.)
But it is true. Due to the economy and the nature of work I was involved with I am now one of the many standing in line at the unemployment office. Well, by standing in line at the unemployment office, I mean sleeping in until around 10, going for long walks with the Seal, gardening, keeping the house fairly clean, attempting to make dinners, and watching way, way too many old episodes of The Golden Girls.
Now, as glamorous as my newly titled house-husband status sounds it does get a little boring… but I am not willing to complain yet.
And on the up side of things, on my last day of work Violet temporarily lost her sense of sensibility and sent me the confirmation email with the two tickets she had booked to, oh, you know, Hawaii- for, oh you know, next week! No, I am not joking because a joke is suppose to be funny and if this were not true, well, that is not funny.
So, my life has been a little scattered, as is being represented in my sporadic postings but all is well as is demonstrated in the content.
And yes, I realize by outing my joblessness I will have to dig deeper in my pocket of excuses or simply post way more frequently.

i vote for more frequent posts!
my gf got laid off last summer and wow! did she ever get stuff done around the house!
i will say one last thing: be extra nice to Violet. It’s hard to be the one who gets up early in the morning and slogs off to work when all you want to do is stay home with your beloved…

Elizabeth, not to worry on the extra-niceness to Violet front. I definitely get that there is an imbalance of Golden Girl watching time in this new set up of ours (not that she watches that show but you get the point). But lately there is not an unlaundered pair of socks, unscrubbed dish, or an unrubbed foot or back by bedtime. If this was forever I think her eyebrows would go up, but, is not the case.
Kim, advantage of free time is certainly being taken… thanks for lurking!

Oh man, I am so, so sorry about the job loss, it’s got to be scary for you to say the least.
Enjoy Hawaii – I am so jealous!
ps – The Golden Girls always make me smile : )

Another lurker here. While I am sad for your loss, I am also selfishly pleased that this might lead to more posts on your blog. Enjoy the down time and good luck finding the right job when the time is right.
