Job Search, Bread & Butter … and PUZZLES!

Day Two of FREEDOM from “the industry”.  I feel like I should create a #hashtag for my life as an unemployed woman…right?  Feel free to comment and let me know what hashtag I should use for these…it’ll get interesting…promise!

SO…today…I applied for 25 jobs (!!!) all OUTSIDE of my previously comfortable industry.  All jobs, ranging in salary from “crap” to “a tad more than crap”.  We’ll see what bites.  ALSO…I know on Wednesday (when I quit my job), I gave myself until Friday to find a job, but I figured that’s ridiculous.  That’s less than 48 hours to find another job…which I could definitely do, but I don’t WANT to do that…I don’t WANT to place an unrealistic timeline on my new job.  SO…I am giving myself to NEXT Friday to determine where I’m working.

In addition to applying for ALL.  THOSE.  JOBS… today…I baked bread (!!!) – recipe thanks to Girl vs Dough and to Melanie for bringing it to my attention.  YOU.  GUYS…I PROMISE you that you can do this…even if you don’t bake…iiiiii certainly don’t bake…and (somehow) I made this…


This BEAUTIFUL loaf bowl ball(?) of bread…crunchy on the outside…soft and doughy on the inside…and PERFECTLY melts butter and it’s gets in all.  the.  crevices…ohmyGOD you guys…make this bread…thank me later… you’re welcome 😛

ALSO today?  I finally finished this DARN puzzle…it’s the devil…and it’s finally done.  #VICTORY!!


It feels good to accomplish something…even when your husband stays home… #mancold

Anyway…I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!! <3



Leave me some loving on this post...you know you want to... :)
