'nice work if you can get it....'

i had hot dogs for dinner:P. now i feel gross. it's all about cheap, leftover food....gotta love that. hey, i'm not complaining. at least we HAD dinner. there are so many people in this world who go without so much of the time....(God, thank you for my unbelievably provided-for life. may i never take this for granted.)

i'm going through the motions so i can collect unemployment. it's been a few months, but i can't hold off anymore. i'm running out of money fast. so, i have to start applying for jobs right about now. reading the want ads is a lesson in pointlessness. there are really no decent jobs out there....and yet i have to apply for 2 of them per week. i'm thinking about sending my resume for ridiculously high-paying jobs in management or something of that nature...something for which i have absolutely no qualifications....with my luck, i'll get hired:)....i'm sure they'd be oh-so-impressed with me in my blue jeans and button-down casual shirts....corporate world, here i come!

but i digress....

i'm still not wholly unconvinced that i'm going to find myself a benefactor one of these days. you know - someone brilliant and wealthy who wants to pay me to live a creative, interesting life, for nothing in return - someone who is simply impressed with my mind, my artistic sensibilities, and my culinary tendencies....someone who just wants to see me succeed in life. someone who can't stand to see me working the 9-to-5 grind another day! i am way too grounded in reality....this, of course, will never happen....i cannot even fool myself into thinking it so.

so...as i wait for the plan to unfold, i'm gonna cruise the baltimore sun and see what i can see. anyone need a live-in chef? house-sitter? personal shopper? call me. i'm available immediately....:)
