if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it...

What can I say, it's catchy, and can be a great motto (more or less) I had a great snow day with an old but really good friend today. We froze our butts off in the snow (well I did, my blood is still a little thin) and then giggled like school girls for what seemed like hours while catching up in a cafe. It was some much needed therapy. And it's free, a full day of activity for under $2. A walk in the village in the snow to take photos, and then catching up over coffee. A perfect day for a starving artist. Might I say Blockbuster's whole 99cents a day thing has me sitting pretty cheaply as well catching up on seasons of Ugly Betty. I do wonder if they recognize me as the crazy girl who rents a new disc of Betty almost every day, more therapy for my soul. Coffee, laughter, Betty. So being unemployed now for just about 2 months, can lead to some pretty pathetic ways to spend your time.(if you haven't noticed yet) I have become quite the window shopper...I used to walk all over Charleston, whether it was to and from work, or a day off I would walk...and walk, to the water, to the park, for coffee, just to window shop. Here the option to walk is not as easy, not to mention it's freezing outside. I had numb toes and a pink nose after about 10min today. So I go to Target, or the mall, and shop...but seeing as how I have no money I don't actually purchase that much. It allows me to walk around and get a much needed change of scenery, and something to do of course. So my pathetic Saturday night consisted of late night mall walking....
Now what else can one do when they are bored and desperate? Ah yes try to become friends with your brother's ex. Well let me check that off my list, it's quite possible this 20yr thinks I am out of my mind...I just happened to discuss my brother's exes with him the other day and there was a certain one who stood out to me as being cute as a freaking button (nauseating really...) and my mother referred to her as a free spirit. So of course she rose to the top of my list. Well hopefully she didn't find out that I referred to her as my hopeful sister-in-law. Let's be honest I had been drinking (a beer) and am bored. AND my younger brother is more of a hopeful at a marriage any time soon then myself, my older sister, or my three older cousins. We all appear to be pretty hopeless. So when a random number texts me this evening, it was followed with a picture of the ex girlie. She can't wait to meet me and has heard a lot of cool things about me. Now either she is a real sweetheart, or I am being mocked. There is a chance I will meet her at trivia tomorrow night. So let's reflect, things to do when you are broke and unemployed, long photo walks in the village, plenty of window shopping, and try to be best friends with your brother's ex.
Someone give me a job!
