Champagne wishes on a beer budget

On a recent trip to Newport Beach, I spotted this adorable little boat. Immediately, I had visions of spending sleepy Sunday afternoons on the boat, reading light-hearted novels and swimming in the ocean. I would love to have a boat like this! It just looks like fun, but then again, who am I to have a boat? I am currently unemployed. Once again, my eyes are bigger than my checking account and I have champagne wishes on a beer budget.

Unemployed

As the last week of August comes to an end, I am faced with the stark reality that I am indeed, unemployed. I must admit that I hate the word. It sounds dark and depressing, and full of negative connotation. Because I am unemployed, I feel the need to do something. The irresponsible part of me wants to sell all of my belongings and set out on a road trip in the Subaru with Chloe. The responsible part of me feels the need to continually update and rewrite my resume and letter of introduction and check the job board every 15 minutes. The realistic part of me helps me to go to the gym and the library, and to spend time relaxing and reflecting. Who knew that not working would be such a struggle?
