It's fun to catch up on your Blog Andrea. Take care of yourself. Enjoy your time off. You'll have the rest of your life to work. ;)
HI, Girl-
I have three friends who are in your situation of not being employed.
I think you should write a book or booklet on musings from unemployment. Example: "Ten Things to NOT Tell a Person Who is Sans Job" or "Top Ten Books to Read" etc.
Hey there! Just catching up on your blog. I'm glad you are finding the fun in your everyday. I have no great advice or cute adage to say, except that I love reading about your adventures, great and small. Have a great weekend!
