The Wandering Mind of the Unemployed

Sounds like a self-help book doesn't it? I was laid off a couple of weeks ago now...and of course, it was completely devastating because I have never been laid off before and I never thought I would be the one to be laid off. Blah Blah Blah so anywayy, I have been thinking of things I can do that are fun jobs just to pay the bills for awhile and then get a real job. I was thinking of working at 1154 Lill- a super cute design your purse place, but they have not called me back. Then I was thinking I could work at a Starbucks or some cute coffee place-but I would be horrible at customer service. So I broke down and decided I should just do the real job search and see what happens. 

Now I sit here patiently waiting to get a job-what do people do when they have no job and nothing to do? I keep making the joke that I wouldn't mind being laid off if I was planning a wedding or having a baby-neither of those will be happening. Then I thought I could decorate our condo and paint- except those things require money-something I am supposed to be saving. Then last night I had an idea that I could be like Julie on Julie and Julia and blog about cooking-except Julia Child's cookbook scares me; maybe I could do a dessert blog-but I realized I don't have a mixer to make the desserts.

To sum-up, I will not being doing any "fun" jobs for the summer, I will not be blogging my way through any cookbooks and I will not become the next big Interior Designer and have my own show on HGTV. I will, however, be bored out of my head and continue to apply online and blog about nothing in particular because my mind needs somewhere to release.
