Two posts one day, Life of the Unemployed

Well, being that I am left to my own devices with Sweets lying in bed on the verge of death with a cold (why do men handle sickness with such drama?) So far today I have received permission from my landlord to paint our family room which I have been wanting to do since we moved in but was to scared to ask.  Let me explain the whole "to scared to ask" comment.  We live in a rental of a friend who lives out of state and.......its for sale.  So initially upon moving in 3 years ago we were asked not to paint etc.  I should also mention that we pay less for our 4 bedroom, 3 bath, fenced in yard and...INGROUND POOL house than i did for my one bedroom in the HP (thats Hyde Park for you non Cincinnatians)  I have also have decided to make a much needed headboard for our bed. It looks pretty simple but me with a staple gun could be scary.  At this point, I think staying busy with projects is going to keep me happy and less panicky over the whole not having a job thing.  Also it will keep me from bugging the sh*t out of Sweets.

Long time....no post

So yea.....i created a blog and then ignored it for awhile.  Well, I just wasn't sure what exactly where I wanted this blog to go. Did I want it to be more about my life, sharing my love of food, my search to finally find a career that makes me fulfilled and happy.....well your going to get it all. The good the bad and the ugly.

For example, we just arrived on Tuesday from an all out blowout in Vegas.  It is my sweets 40th next week and also one of my friends got married last weekend so what better excuse to go on an all out bender for 4 days.  Which, by the way, didn't include anything harder wine, beer and bourbon but damn it is getting harder to recover from such debauchery.  Actually, right now, the sweets is upstairs with a horrible sinus infection and what sounds like bronchitis.  So this glamour girl will spend the day sanitizing my house, meal planning for the week and tending to the obviously dying male laying in bed upstairs.

So bear with me while I figure this out.  I plan on posting my kitchen creations, my thoughts on suddenly becoming a domesticated engineer in a single income family, and, of course, the silliness I get myself into.
