Unemployed in Smithfield

Hi Ladies.

I'm still here! Sorry for the abscence. I was let go from my job on November 15, and haven't spent much time on the computer. Between Holly's wedding and the Holidays, I didn't have a lot of time to myself at the end of 2006. I've spent what little time I've had working on my house. I've reorganized the kitchen, put in shelves, and cleaned out loads of clutter. Bob loves coming home to lots of full trash bags. My next job is putting in closet organizers in the bedrooms. I've actually avoided sitting around watching Oprah and Dr. Phil.

Bob and I have settled into married life. Having lived together for over a year before we got married, there weren't any surprises to deal with, so it's kind of business as usual. I've started the whole name change process. I just went for my new license yesterday.

Bob's extremely supportive about the lay-off. A little too much at times. He's always telling me to enjoy my time off, and don't rush back to work. It can make it hard some days to get the job search going. I'm not bored yet, and I love having the time to get things done.

Are we still hoping to get together and share photos and stuff? That sounds like a good time to me.

I am so down with getting together. Things have been crazy (as they always are) since the wedding. Our house construction has been endless, and my husbund is switching jobs, and he and are MOH and BM in a wedding in May. But it would be great to have an afternoon/night to get together and just have some fun! It is Therapeutic.

I'm so impressed by your motivation! If your husband is supportive, definitely enjoy your time and get your house set up just how you want it.

Okay, I'm going to email Andrea, Julie, Beth, Tammy, & Sok, and see if we can get updates and also set up a date! :)

Andrea, Congratulations on the new house. I have two words for you...Container Store. I've gotten lots of great organizing items there. The Elfa shelving is phenomenal. Expensive but worth every cent. I'm eliminating both bureaus in the master bedroom just by putting in this closet organizing system.

Holly's wedding was beautiful. It was really fabulous. They had great weather. Holly was beautiful. Only hitch...I have an allergy to wine, and I think there was wine in the food at the rehearsal dinner. I was REALLY sick the morning of the wedding. The ceremony was at noon with a 45 minute drive to the church, and I just wanted to die.
