I know it's a little early but I just made a Christmas card swap over at Swap-bot. I really wasn't feeling the swaps that were already there. So, here it is in case you may want to join it.

Frankenmuth Fun Times
We just got back from a fun day in Frankenmuth. We started the day by finding a great spot to watch the parade. We usually sit on the intersection of Main St. and Tuscola St.
This year we sat across from the Drury Inn. It felt very strange because behind us was where the Old School Haus Square once stood.
I will add a few pictures of the parade later.

Still nothing on the job seeking but...
I have found a few craft project ideas that I am going to start on.
I had a pile of old blue jeans that I normally would offer on ReUseIt or Freecycle but I am going to keep them and make a few of those jean bottom purses. I figured I might just as well try to sell them and make a few bucks. I found a nice piece of purple velvet material to use as liner and I also had a pile of shirts that I will use as well. I may make a few of the purses with 2 or more sections depending on the size of some of the jeans.
I have also found patterns for some easy needlepoint items that would not take very long to stitch up while watching TV or a movie. I know I have enough yarn to make quite a bit of stuff. I wish would have learned how to knit or crochet. I think knitting would be more useful as I have tons of afghan patterns to chose from and like the idea of possibly giving handmade gifts for next Christmas.
If I can get my camera to work again I will post pictures of my finished projects.
So, until next time...Cheers!

So maybe posting about
Swap-bot is not really what Blogging is all about but it has helped me over the past few weeks. I have been so depressed, feeling like I have no purpose and I am sad about not having any money. It would be nice to be able to go for a ride and not worry about needing the gas for something else.
But.....
I FINALLY got my first severance check. Now my new goal is to try to catch up on some bills and maybe get the house stocked up with groceries. The next hurdle is signing up for the unemployment and not having a lapse like I had with the severance. When I do that I will see if I can get any funding from the Govt. for school. Hopefully President Obama has thought about people like me and has something set up to help us out.
In the meantime...
For extra money we are still planning on checking out the plasma thing but I think we really don't want to if we don't have to. But, it might mean the difference of buying dog food for our kids or us going without. Plasma it is then.
In my quest to find other employment I have discovered that there are not any FT jobs around that I have experience at. With so many people out of work they want someone who already knows what is going on. I am sure there are some jobs out there I could do with little direction if I could only get my foot in the door.
If you know anywhere that is hiring, let me know! Thanks.
Now...back to the swaps...I have a few that I need to post bit I will do that another day. I have had to share the computer with the DH so he can play WOW. He has made me a character but i just don't have the desire to devout 4-6 hours a day to work on my quests and things.
Well, time for bed. I am tired and have to get up to take Patty to pick up her glasses.
Cheers!

SSDD
Ever have one of those days where you just want to lay in the bed? My weekend was like that. On Saturday all i wanted to do was sleep. Not sure why but i was up for an hour and went back to sleep for 3.
Maybe once the $$ comes in I will feel better. Maybe I need warmer weather. The cold may be making me feel the way I feel.
Ok, I've got to hop in the shower so I can take Patty to get her eyes checked. She is getting really blind in her old age. JK But seriously...she needs them and might as well get them while we still have the vision insurance.
Later......
