Just Another Day…

Alright, so I am now officially all caught up on my blog! YAY!! Big accomplishment for me. Man, remind me to never go that long again without posting! My hands would really appreciate it.

So we are now in the second week of May, and this has been one slow week for me. It is the first week in many months where I have not had ONE job interview. I know I am cooling it with my upcoming trip home, but I thought I would get maybe one. I have doing so well getting 3-5 a week, oh well.

I really wish I could tell you that aside from blogging this marathon of posts the last few days, I really have been doing nothing with my week. Each day has become just another day of unemployment boredom and lack of motivation.

It feels at times that I am just on an extended summer or spring break from school. Each day is starting to blend into the next. I do know today was my best friend’s birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLAN!

So what have I been doing with my time? Well, I am trying to get all of my desired side projects organized. I have about 6 or so different projects running through my head, it is hard to focus on just one. This week was this blog. This weekend, it will be writing my Children’s storybook idea. Then next week, it will be starting a series of interviews I hope to put in a collection to publish as a book someday. Who knows if it will work out, but the hope, intention and idea is there.

Other than that… I have been finding myself sliding into the habit of watching many hours of daytime television, and terrible television at that! I have watched everything from Oprah (sorry Princess Fergie for your struggles), the Nate Burkus Show (come decorate my future room, oh can I work for you?), Everybody Loves Raymond (all time favorite show, must watch), Maury and the Steve Wilkos Show (now that is crazy stuff there), Pregnant in Heels (interestingly addictive), and, of course, my guilty pleasures, Real World and 16 & Pregnant.

I love these shows, and I just cannot turn them off. My afternoons are interrupted by reality “junk” shows. Does it make me a horrible person for watching these shows, which profile other people’s crazy lives that are much worse than my own, and then I feel better about how great my life actually is? I will admit they do give me great perspective on where I am in life. Maybe that is the “reality” part of those programs, perhaps?

Then already feeling better about myself… I go to the gym where they continue to broadcast Bravo’s programming, and I aim to rock my gluts!

Oh well. There really is not much more to report. A slow week, which is like a vacation, before I go home… for vacation? Oh the life of the unemployed! 7 days till I am home!

Until then…

The Unemployment Boredom

Hey Bloggers!

It seems I am now all caught up on me blog! Yay! I am sorry it took so long to get here. I have tried to give you all the updates as they happened. Hope it makes sense.

Well, it has been a few days since I found out about the Conan internship, and not much has happened aside from that. I have been pushing the enrollment in community colleges as fast as I can, but I am not sure of the exact details of what I need. Plus, of the schools I talked too, most are closed for the semester because it is late October, and the semester will be over in a few weeks. I do not want to pay to enroll until I know all the details of what Conan needs from me first.

I also have not pushed finding a part time job until I know the exact days I will be at Conan. So, everything is on halt until I hear more from them. I just want to get started already!!

So in the meantime, I have become good friends with the Unemployment Boredom. I do not have much planned during my day, so I spend it in the gym. I go to the gym two hours each day, usually soon after I get up. I have lost 6 pounds this week! I've lost almost half the weight I want to reach my goal weight. That is big for me.

Then after the gym, I shower, check facebook, video chat, do errands, watch tv shows.. etc. I am all caught up on Project Runway. I am really in this weird limbo and I am getting restless. I want out! I need to get busy again!! Or else I will go insane!

I held a Fall Fiesta yesterday for my friends here. Most of us are not from LA, so we wanted to bring the Autumn from home to the West coast for an afternoon. About 12 or so came, and we had apple cider, pumpkin, pecan and apple pies, pigs in a blanket, wine, owl cupcakes, mashed potatoes, etc. It was a feast. We held it outside in a park where the weather was really like Fall! It was misting on and off all day, but super cloudy. We had to wear our fall clothes anyway since it was also chilly. It was perfect fall weather. We played card games on the picnic table until it was dark, and came to my place. There, we watched football and played a Battle of the Sexes card game. Overall, it was a very successful afternoon. I was exhausted afterwards because I baked all weekend, except during the Tangled Party, and in the mornings! Yay for Fall Fiesta!

I am loving this weather. So now that I have been on the computer for a while, it is time I go and meet up with my friend Boredom. I hope we can find something productive to do. Until then... night!

That's it.
