Yes, I know

"Recently unemployed person starts a blog!" is straight out of The Onion. But hey, it's raining today, i have nothing else planned and why not use some of my new-found free time on creative pursuits? Can easily fit in Blogging alongside Going Out to Lunch, Coffee Runs, and Museum and Dog Park Visits. 

Funny about writing: i was trained to be a journalist but writing on demand fills me with anxiety. I wrote both for my college paper and a magazine I used to work for and on every occasion i'd have the dry heaves before turning my assignments in. So perhaps we'll consider this a polishing-up exercise. 

I've starting keeping a written journal again after online journaling for the last several years and have had fun with it turning it into a scrapbook of sorts, collecting souvenirs from my daily adventures around town: Starbucks receipts, restaurant cards, etc. YOU ARE HERE. 

Ironically, with all this eating out talk i have in fact committed to a Two-Week No Cheats diet challenge with my soon-to-be Ex-Trainer. I start this Sunday 6/7, so stay tuned for plenty of moaning about that. I do get to follow it with an All-Day Cheat, so that will be fun to plan. 

Food, Diets, Job Pursuits, Writing, Art, and of course, The Dog. Woooo hooooo!
