Unemployment

Well, it has almost been two months since I have been unemployed. I had only three days of working until they laid me off on the 2nd. Thankfully, I have had some babysitting gigs to make time past but it has not been enough. So what have I been doing over the last two months? First, I enjoy the holidays which was nice. Then with the passing of Nick's grandma and myself getting laid off, I threw myself into job hunting. I had had so many rejection e-mails come my way. I failed a pretty simple test that would have made my life so much easier because the job would have been great. I have been interview for another position that would have recover all our money that we have lost over the last 8 months and would have set us up to be able to move in two years. But nothing came of that. I had a few phone interviews for nanny jobs that I most likely lost due to being pregnant. I went to a job fair on Tuesday to get some pretty okay leads and found out that my last pair of work pants really do not fit anymore.

So what to do when you are about 5 months pregnant, visibly showing and still have no way to pay for your stupid student loans? Who is going to hire you? In the meantime, I have signed up for Sittercity to get some part time work/random sitting?

So how I have filled my time with being out of work. I have learned how to make food in our 3 in 1 rice cooker/slow cooker. There is something really nice about having dinner done with my hubs gets home and he did not have to cook. thank you Rob and Mel for the rice cooker. I have been baking. I just made those chocolate peanut butter cookies that I have been obsessing about. Thank you Charles for the baking bowl. I love that thing. I have been taking yoga at random times. Not this week because I fell last Friday and hurt my knee pretty bad. But now I am functioning again so Monday Yoga here I come. I have been seeing movies, Bride Wars, He's just not that into you, and Confession of a Shopaholic. I have clean the apartment (not the bathroom yet). I have been looking for a job. I have played the sims. I have set up 3 registries. BuyBuyBaby, Land of Nod and Pottery Barn Kids. I have chilled out and relax most days. I have had e-mail talks with peeps. I am on facebook all day. So I have been busy but way bored at times as well. I really will not be using this blog for my personal life but I want to give you all an update on how I have been spending my time in my apartment with my stinker cat.

More Baby Registries

So we register at two more place today to get more of the fun items. We registry at PotteryBarnKids.com due to a really cute Dr. Suess bedding. So honestly, the bedding and a few toys and the storage baskets are all the things we would like from PBK. The list is not very long at all. Then we register at LandofNod.com because it has a great children's music selection and the cloth diapers and the slings. So mainly from the two registries we pick today, would be to get more of the fun kid items. We would hope that people would just get the few select items because they are fun. Also, in terms of the toys, we wanted to give people ideas for Chirstmas and other random gifts. So we are not really expecting much from them other then the mention items.

We may or may not be moving out by the end of May. Our landlord wants to think about it due to be able to rent out our current place. Grr..this one will be a fight. Also, since we are giving her enough notice for the issue she would be able to have enough time to rent this place out and this should be her problem not ours. UPDATE: She will be letting us out at May 31 so we should have no problem. Then we are going to be having a shower the following weekend for the baby since we will already be moved into our new place.
