Well, that was easy

 It's official.  My desk is all packed up.  

Sayonara desk jobs.  I already spent my last pay check on a bitchin' fence for Rosie so I'm really, really unemployed now.  However, it only took one maiden frolic in the backyard for that to have been the best money I ever spent.  

The lady likes to be free!

Rosie, how do I love thee.  Let me count the ways.

Collars turned to the side are so hot right now.

Good News/Bad News

The good news is that I got a job, starting a week from today. I'll be working at a bakery! Which, believe it or not, is what I wanted to do...more on that later.

The bad news is that I will no longer be able to regale you with titillating tales of water aerobics.

I would love to know what the other ladies in the pool think about my prolonged presence in the class. I've seen other young people do it, but that is usually just for about a week when they are in town on vacation. I've been making cameos for a whole month now.

I am sure they are thinking, "Ok kid, quit freeloading on the Yacht Club membership, do something with your life, and quit trespassing on my circle in the pool."

Well ladies, the end is nigh. Thursday will be my grand finale in water aerobics, because my mom is leaving that day and I refuse to go to a 50+ year old class without a blood-related chaperone.

Next week I will be cracking eggs and taking names. And, God willing, purchasing a pair of chef pants.

I heart premature old age

Today I went to water aerobics. With a bunch of older ladies and my cousin. I wore webbed gloves.

What is going on with my life?

I actually loved the workout because it was low impact on my achey joints fun to be in the water. And who knows if I worked anything out. Sometimes I just measure the effect of exercise in time I spend away from the kitchen eating.

I followed that up with a jaunt to the Farmer's Market and an epic baking session - pictures forthcoming for the winner of the major giveaway from many months ago...the winner, being a true diva, deferred the prize until he moved into his new house.

Being an old lady rules! Free time is the most amazing gift on Earth. Tomorrow I'm going to get my moles checked! I am really living the senior citizen dream :)

Checking In

It's been exactly 8 working days since I've had a job. I thought for sure I'd be bored after day 2. But that is hardly the case!

It turns out it's really easy to stay busy when you're crazy, like running errands, and like cleaning. I haven't even laid out in the sun once...mostly because I burn like a ginger. But living at the beach is awesome.

Being temporarily unemployed is even awesome-er. I highly recommend it for a month or so.

I've got one last travel planned for the year next Wednesday, returning July 12. Then I'll pound the pavement for jobs like it's my...job... but until then, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Having no shame in having no job is so liberating!!! It's Sunday at 10:40PM and I'm watching Ice Loves Coco on E! I don't have a job I hate to dread in the morning and I freaking love it.

This is making me realize that I should never take a job I hate again, that way Sundays won't be so miserable!

Unemployed and Loving It...Carb free and alone

To celebrate my last day at work, I decided I wanted to have wood-burned pizza and a bottle of wine with either my husband, sister, or favorite friend.

Unfortunately, due this emm eff South Beach Diet (which I'm kind of only pretend doing because I've been on a boredom-binder since last week), I had vodka soda and cauliflower/pretend mashed potatoes with chicken and hot sauce.

Alone...husband lives elsewhere, sister's in London, and favorite friend is eating wood-burned pizza with someone else in Charleston, basically food/wine/friend cheating on me :(

Nonetheless I did this. Ghetto style. In my mother-in-laws petite dog bowls. Because, if you follow me on twitter, you know I throw away everything and currently have no plates.

Cheers fellow unemployed divas! I hope you're all skinny and carbo-loading somewhere, because that would be way more fun.
