One benefit of being unemployed is days like this: it is raining, I was able to sleep in, and my library book is not yet due. You can tell what I will be doing the rest of the day! :)

Amazing thing #1
One benefit of being unemployed is days like this: it is raining, I was able to sleep in, and my library book is not yet due. You can tell what I will be doing the rest of the day! :)
When it rains...
So now that we have finally gotten rid of our house guests (not that they weren't all enjoyed and appreciated), we are able to get back to our usual craziness. I am in week 2 of my "Couch to 5K" training. So far I think it is going well, but the cold and rain have made it difficult to run outside, and running on the treadmill is just not the same.
Andrew and I have also been networking our you-know-whats off. We attended a Theatre and Dance Alumni event on Sunday where I was able to meet a lot of interesting people and possibly arrange an internship. I will keep you posted on that and other job prospects when they are more concrete. We are attending an event for young alumni of our college (people under the age of 40) tomorrow, so I am hoping to meet some other people who are willing to share and help out a fellow Blazer! GO BLAZERS!

No room at the Inn
Whew! I finally have my house back! Let me fill you in on the last 10 days or so....
Andrew's great-grandmother passed away and there was a funeral on Feb 26 (about 10 days ago now). Since I am not really into funerals I volunteered to babysit his aunt's corgi during the funeral. The dog would also be sleeping and spending time at our house so they wouldn't have to pay for it to stay in the hotel. Not a problem, it was nice having a dog here for a few days. But Saturday night after the funeral we had dinner with the family that was still in town and then they all came over to our place afterward. So we had a dog, 2 children and 5 adults (not including us) in and out of our apt for 4 days or so.
THEN, Andrew's little brother, his "girlfriend", and a friend from college were all in Atlanta for various reasons and crashed on our couch, chair, floor, air mattress, etc.. this past Wednesday through Sunday. AND Andrew's Mom and her bf, Dad and his wife, and sister all came up to spend time with their sons Saturday night through Sunday morning. We had 8 people (once again not including us) in and out of our apt for another 5 days.
WHEW!
Just when I am thinking we can have our house back, Andrew's friend calls today and asks if he can crash on our couch tonight since he has an early flight out of the Atlanta airport in the morning. Of course we say yes; after all, what is one more day and one more visitor?
