Long Delay

So, i'm still here. Still Job hunting. Still keeping myself busy during the day.

The job search has been a rollercoaster of emotional stress and distress. 8 interviews, 2 offers, 2 denials post-offer. Seriously, I really just want to take a break from the job search.

My unemployment claim was denied. Oh well, that was pretty much expected. But, it still hurts.

I keep thinking about all the things we need to do with the money I'm not currently earning as well. It isn't like we're in trouble without two incomes, but the extra padding would be really nice, especially with all the "things" that have come up recently.
"Things" includes 2 crowns and getting my wisdom teeth extracted. It also includes the big-ol' mistake I made when figuring out my quarterly taxes last year. Whoops.

On a good note, MIL was in town last week. Although it didn't help to get my mind off the job stuff, I did finally get to see some of Seattle that I'd been wanting to explore. We went to the aquarium. Small, but excellent. Also, Jason and MIL saw the space-needle. I also got to drive out to bellevue and issaquah. Beautiful country. I was lucky to get 2 gorgeous non-rainy days.

Cooking has also had its ups and downs. I threw out a batch of cinammon roll starter, but made excellent calzones, and a few weeks ago, we had injira bread and doro-wat. (Ethiopian - greasy but excellent)

Currently reading Brick Lane. I'm liking the story, but the language is a bit difficult to get into. Hopefully it will be easier after the first few chapters. Also, I'm listening to Ivy Chronicles. No opinion on that as it is still burning onto a cd.

The jigsaw puzzle is on hold, but the other projects are coming along. Doing a bunch of web stuff, and trying to create a new template for this site. We just got dreamweaver, and I love it, although there are always little nuances regarding learning new software. Currently, I'm having issues with layering and placing divs relative to other divs.

Time to go rotate laundry. Catch y'all later.
