i feel like a stay-at-home mom without kids.

look at me! blogging three days in a row!

that's what happens when you're unemployed. which i am. i wear my strawberry shortcake pjs WAY more than i should and i feel like i'm real live friends with elliot stabler. i sleep in until 7 or 8 every morning. i've already done all the cleaning and organizing i usually put off. i spend most of my time looking for jobs that i am not qualified for and then writing cover letters trying to convince people that i can do more than make third graders laugh at my silly jokes. i text and chat my friends and family who are actually working and try to get them to entertain me. (thank goodness deba and george hate their jobs and are more than willing to entertain me.) one time i was chatting sara and she had to go to lunch break and she said "i'll be back at 1" and i said, "well, that's right during second naptime, so i might not be here." and i wasn't. i was sleeping. i have plenty of time to do lots of things like greek festival on a WEEKDAY! and going to morning gym classes and hanging out with friends and volunteering and trying new elaborate recipes and running in the park when there is sunshine. unfortunately, i also have no excuse NOT to go to the scrapbook expo with deba. so all in all, unemployment is pretty fun. except that my bank account seems to be leaking money.

but today i had an interview. if someone called you and said, "we'd like to interview you." and you were thinking "hmmm, what should i wear for my interview?" would you instantly think of faded black jeans and a white t-shirt that is inside out? no? neither would i. but that's what the woman next to me was wearing. yeah. she was. and i'm pretty sure she hadn't combed her hair in a week. this is what i'm up against. and nobody wants me.

but other than that and the plumbing problem at zions bank, i love my belated summer vacation. i'm pretty sure that i will be crazy by october and homeless and bankrupt by spring. unless they decide to hire me over the t-shirt lady, but at this point, it's not looking good.

i will be back tomorrow, yes siree. i might even do one of those trendy giveaways. (do i have to give away some craft i made or can i just find some junk lying around and send it someone?) tomorrow i will be discussing a band that is not cake. (for once.)

you're excited. i know.

Thanks for the good laugh.

And I just love blog giveaways.
Can't wait (eye roll, just in case the sarcasm doesn't come across.)

so intrigued to find out what kind of career move you're making...

i did a giveaway on my blog once i was really bad at it, i'm not sure if i even sent all the stuff out or not... pitiful.

if you fly me to utah i'll fix the plumbing problem in Zion. :)

your unemployment is really making me happy. well, not really. just in a blogging sense.

you are hilarious and every word you write is a gem...

Robin in SOOO smart! No wonder you love her. I wish you could make a living blogging. Look into that would you. Something like Bridgett Jone's Diary?
