Today was another day. Haven't even poked my head outdoors, but it looked pretty gloomy. I think I'm carrying around enough gloom of my own, I don't need to be in a gray day outside to add to the fun.
Applied for unemployment benefits yesterday. Should get a check in about 3 weeks. Tomorrow we'll be sitting down with all the financial stuff & trying to figure out how we'll survive this recession. Richie is scheduled to go back to work on the 19th, but I anticipate a call or a letter either delaying that or laying him off permanently too. Negative, yes. but, I haven't called it wrong yet.
Maybe I should join the theater community like my favorite Cuz! For several weeks I've portrayed Cleopatra.......in De Nile. More recently I've cast myself as Scarlet O'Hara.......Tomorrow is another day. I'm now leaning toward a new role as Rhett Butler........Frankly My Dear, I don't give a damn.
I'm thinking it's about time to take the Christmas tree down. I love the lights, but it's getting time to either take it down or dust all the ornaments. So, that's another job that will grow as it goes. Of course, I'll have to straighten out the Christmas closet, gather up all the holiday decorations, move them upstairs.........it exhausts me to think about it. Damn, I'm pretty much a no ambition mess these days.
Anybody watch America's Biggest Losers? We just discovered it in a marathon on New Year's Eve and got hooked. The new season started tonight, I think we're gonna be following it. Man, I give those people credit for being brave enough to let it all hang out. Literally. And those workouts. I think I would have punched a trainer once I caught my breath. But then again, I wish I had one to inspire me.
I've never been one for "Reality" shows. I'm just too skeptical a person to believe much of it is real. And I prefer my drama in something that really is just what it professes itself to be. Drama. A good fake movie anytime over made for TV bullshit drama.
So, with my cheeriness intact, I'll say goodnite for now. It's been real & it's been fun, etc.

Hey -- it's Russian Christmas! You're not late taking your tree down. I asked Mom to leave ours up another week. I feel like I'm just able to relax and enjoy them.
I loooooove Biggest Loser! I watched the season opener last night too. I really wish I had someone to kick my ass around the gym for 8 hours a day and make all my meals. Losing weight IS a full-time job!!
Keep us posted on the 'employment' issue. Still praying for you... always!
Hey -- I got my dramatic tendancies from somewhere. Apple didn't fall far from the BIG tree, I'm sure :)
XOXO
I usually boast that I hate reality TV but then I count how many shows I really watch and scare myself. In my defense- NONE of them are on VH1/MTV or anything of the like.
