Easter Brunch 2007
It is 5:52pm and I just washed my face. It is amazing what unemployment can do to your normal schedule. I am typically not the kind of person who likes to just lounge around and not be active with my day, but today I totally failed. As a matter of fact, I am still wearing the same shirt that I was wearing last night when I went out with some buddies, and I just now put a hat on to hide any greasy hair.  I know “they” say you should get up, shower and dress as though you are going to a job and then apply to hundreds of jobs, but I am no where near that today.   At least I have been semi-productive and applied to a job and already got a call for an interview, oh and I watched the missed episode of the bachelor on my laptop (I just lost 29357927359280283409235928759873984723 points for saying that).
Last night Jeff and Gordy did a fine job of reassuring me that unemployment is ok and is a time to enjoy doing nothing (within reason). Gordy suggested reading lots of Russian novels and consuming chocolate all day long. Love the idea. Jeff encouraged me to really pursue the arts. Love the idea.  So, after a day of way too much computer use, I have made my plan of attack for tomorrow:
- go for a long walk
- take a shower!
- go to the cheap art recycle place and get inspired
- go to the expensive art store and get inspired
- paint!
- look and apply for jobs
- if time, knit, take photos, or go to a coffeeshop to read
Repeat on Thursday.

This past weekend my parents were in town for Easter. We did the usual fine job of going from one restaurant to the next…I see the stretch marks forming already. Cooper and I made brunch on Sunday morning…what a treat it was to have our first dinner party in our new apartment! Who knew six adults could survive crouching over a coffeetable to eat their meal? Some day we will have a real table, someday.
