Accomplishments as of late =)

Okay...so it seems BLOGLAND traffic has been a bit scant ....for myself and others. I'm noticing this "state" as I surf my usual reads. In an effort to feel like my unemployed existance isnt for not...I thought I would list some recent accomplisments.

1. Emptied my closet
2. vacuumed dustbunnies that rivaled ZOE in size from the back of the closet
3. Organized and put approx 90 pairs of shoes, boots, sandals, clogs into plastic containers.
4. I will label them this week!
5. Donated a big box of "career" and other various types of clothing in closet cleaning.
6. Removed any plastic hangers and replaced with matching wooden hangers.
7. Created a weekly/monthly budget of necessary / luxury expenses to post on frig. as I will soon be totally responsible for all.
8. Calculated what that means in regards to a wage needed for negotiating with recruiters.
9. Debated on calling Dad for funds for the first time in my adult life instead of trying to work full time AND write the dissertation. If I didnt have this rediculous level of pride...(I cant do it myself!)....I wouldve made that call already.
10. Gave bearded dragons a fresh aquarium..with new crushed walnut substrate. Scrubbed all hiding aparatus, feeding and watering bowls.
11. Gave Beardies a bath =)
12. Completely scrubbed out other HUGE tank thats been sitting empty since female beardy moved into smaller male beardie's tank.
13. Cleaned out crates for babies (ZOE, BELLA, Kory) if need be (once I start working again) because they cant seem to stay out of trouble running in the kitchen with the new baby gate separating them from the rest of the house.
14. Washed the curtains hanging in family room.
15. Took paperwork to accountant to file taxes.
16. Got paperwork ready to file for financial aide '06-'07.
17. Filed all PI paperwork for credentials, testing papers, and backround check.
18. Filed concealed weapons permit paperwork. (took 19.00 to mail that shit out!)
19. Shopped for a weapon.
20. Got my ASS back in the gym....(and have been suffering from doing lunges for the last two days!)
21. Agreed to a challenge whereby my workout partner and I show eachother how far away we are from fitting into our "skinny"pants in person. ( I will need to wear a REALLY pretty thong....because those skinny pants are not gonna make it over my booty !!!)
22. Went to King Kong....CRIED!
23. Read my "how to write a dissertation proposal" book.
24. Worked on finding a really easy study to duplicate for my dissertation.
25. Filed for unemployment.

Okay....I dont feel so bad now! ...I guess I just needed to write it all down. I gotta find a JOB this week..or at least get my recruiters hoppin on it so by month end something is in the works. I anticipate reservation funds, unemployment (soon to start), and financial aide overage funds to show in April....but I really don't want to burn thru savings. Ya know?....Besides I'm really starting to enjoy this "no working thing"...Soccer moms who don't work have it made.
