The Waiting Game

Another exciting day in the life of unemployment. Laundry, wash dishes... I found out today that I missed out on my first unemployment payment, as I was playing that waiting game for two possible job opportunities to come through, which haven't. No more, my friend! I had to reopen my claim as it expired Sunday (NUTS!) and will hopefully receive some relief (beyond the support of my awesome hubby-to-be!) in the near future. Applied for two jobs this morning to fulfill my claim requirements. The hardest thing about the DC area is all the military/government contract jobs that require either US citizenship or security clearances. Maybe that will be my goal for the remainder of this year (to obtain my citizenship).

Lots of events coming up very soon: Lena's 24th on Thursday, Freddy's 44th on the 14th, Ann's b-day on the 18th, my aunt's b-day on the 22nd, LL & Austin's wedding on the 26th. Whew! And the gang wants to celebrate the 4th of July weekend at John's family's southern MD house at Breton Bay. Some day, I have to reschedule John's belated 40th bash. And a wedding or marriage celebration of sorts... as long as William doesn't do the bridesmaids' hair.

Must go get the laundry out of the dryer (wahoo!). Tonight, John and I are going to dinner with John's mom, Becky, to celebrate our engagement. She is so excited for us! Till next time...
