Ever Forward, Ever Faithful

You’re so glad you missed it, if in fact you did miss it. I’ll be brief. We broke up. I lost it, like LOST. IT. I’ve parted ways with so many things in the past two months that I finally hit rock bottom with a thunderous thump. It was nasty. Flu-like symptoms, felt like my…

How To: Pie Crust (I’m no Martha June buuuut I make a nice pie!)

It’s the day before Thanksgiving and people all over America are stocking up on Turkeys, potatoes, and Xanax. Worrying whether their 140 pound turkey will fit into their Easy Bake sized oven and if they bought enough wine to forget to care. Planning out place settings, family football pools and Me? I’m all set. I’m…

Yeah, Good Idea…comparing my life to an airport.

Not In My Double Helix!

Lost: Give me an L!

Oops. Here’s the thing, I really badly want a library card. I need freebies in my life. I probably (let’s face it, I do) qualify for food stamps but I’m unsure if I want to journey across that bridge after what I endured today. When I moved back to Michigan I changed my address because…

Unemployment: The Mental Health Professional’s Wet Dream

Sounds pitiful but come to my world and you will quickly realize the full potential of your insecurities. Looking for a…

I recently changed my employment status on Facebook to say this: Stay At Home Daughter cooking, baking, cleaning, trash girl, bartender, applying for real jobs, applying for crappy jobs, lawn chick (does not rake), designated driver, laundering, entertaining, knitting, reading, writing, eating all the good food (snacks,…

Unemployment: The Beginning

15.3% That’s my state’s unemployment rate. Granted, I became unemployed when I was forced to quit my job in Tennessee so really it’s their problem. But I live in Michigan now and I can honestly say that there are no jobs in the town I am living in. If I want a job (not even…
