Mom informed me this morning that I needed to update my blog. With what? That is a really good question. Since the last time I posted here are some things that I've learned.
1. Being unemployed isn't as much fun as it always seemed. Yes, I get to do lots of "projects" that I wouldn't normally have time to do, I've gotten back into reading for pleasure, I've caught up on sleep, etc., but I feel half guilty doing these things when I could be working somewhere making a suitable income for living.
2. The economy is really bad. And, the lack of unemployment sure isn't helping it anyway. I tried to buy some shoes, but then realized it would use about half of my entire savings! One pair of shoes that was 50% off would use half of my savings. Don't businesses understand and can't they help us poor people out!?
3. Wisconsin is not Florida. This week it finally decided to act like summer here and we had several very beautiful sunny days. I guess I'll be grateful for this in August when it isn't 97 degrees and 97 percent humidity.
4. The Next Food Network Star is still as amazing as it was two years ago. For some reason in 2007 I found myself with a really empty Saturday and no one around so I watched an entire season of TNFNS and became hooked. I loved it then, and I love it still!
5. Wii tennis is a lot more fun if you are good and can beat the pros. Thanks to Janet I learned some good techniques and I, too, have reached pro tennis player status. Now if only my real tennis game was as good.
There are a few things. If anyone has a job for me, let me know. If anyone knows of any fun social things to do, let me know. If anyone knows where the money tree grows, let me know. Those shoes are still calling my name.

Too bad that we are not in the same state. I'm like you, trying to figure out new projects each day and feeling a little guilty that my husband is working so hard. Are there fewer people asking, "How's the adjustment going?" I sure hope so! Good luck with everything!
