Week 38 of Unemployment
I’m happy to report another busy week between our houseguest, the magazine and my old company. Next week I’m hoping to start on my new project, so it’s looking like it will be fulfilling too. Woo hoo!
Our little ski resort
Today is our first day without a houseguest since Feb. 11. Don’t get me wrong, we love guests, but it’s always nice to have the house back to ourselves. Our latest houseguest was a friend of J’s from the Prep, Chris Farley. He works in a school system and was on break, so came up…
I’m retiring my skort
I tried to start a trend this indoor soccer season: wearing a skort to play. But I cannot take the ridicule anymore, so I am officially retiring it. It didn’t bother me when J made fun; he always makes fun of me anyways. He would ask, “Are we playing tennis?” and I would ignore. But…
Week 37 of Unemployment
My dear readers, this week was a good week in terms of my self-employment endeavors. Can you believe I’m saying that? It was, in fact, a busy week! I invoiced 8 hours for my old company, scored another assignment from the magazine AND—yes there’s an and—signed a new contract for a project with an old…
Business Combined with Pleasure
We have wrapped up a wonderful visit with Mama Fashion. She was with us from Friday until her work meeting Wednesday morning in Boston. So let’s review what we did. MamaF gave knitting lessons to her grandkitty. We played two games of Scrabble and J won both times. I still don’t understand how the worst…
Week 36 of Unemployment
Of course I have no job update for you. Looked for work, not much out there, sent my resume to places where I won’t hear anything back, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. I am so sick of selling myself! But, such is life. This week, we had a friend get into heaps of trouble…
Superbowl Sunday!
Happy Superbowl! We’re just sitting here watching the game and commercials (disappointing so far, no?) as well as the Black Eyed Peas’ half-time show (Yippeeeee!) on our sweet 13-inch TV. Our 27-incher (which we understand isn’t even that big) finally kicked the bucket for good and we are not in a position to be buying…
Week 35 of Unemployment
I have nothing good to say about my pitiful job search this week, though I did invoice 8 hours of work. Woo hoo. Instead, I will just tell you about the fun stuff that’s going on here! We finished up January, and it turned out to be the 4th snowiest January in Concord since 1870…
