I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!I want a job. I'm tired of being unemployed. I'm tired of knowing the TV schedule front to back and knowing what I want to watch while I fold laundry, work on my scrapbook, cross stitch, bake. It was fun in the beginning, but I'm getting tired of it.
The biggest frustration for me right now is people who ask how the job search is going. I've gotten everything from, "Are you not working yet?" to "Wow, that sounds nice, hanging out all day!" It was, at first. But without a baby to take care of, it's just me, myself and the housework, which really isn't even that difficult or time consuming. (Don't get me wrong, I don't want a baby to take care of at the moment, but it would at least change things up a bit!)
Today at the chiropractor's the receptionist asked me what I was going to do all day. I was too embarrassed to tell her that going out for that appointment was my big outing of the day. I got Starbucks, mailed two more applications and headed home. Luckily I need to run out to get some flour for bread, so that gives me another outing. (Unfortunately I got caught up in Wife Swap because they switched husbands instead! But I'm going out after that).
I should feel lucky that I'm spending my days hanging around the house, that I have the time to go to a doctor's appointment and can work out every day. It is inspiring me to work out just so I can get out of the house, so that has been beneficial. Realistically, when I finally DO get a job I'll be working at least part time, if not full time for the next 45 years. I should enjoy relaxing while I can. But going from being busy all day at school to doing nothing? I just can't do it.
Tonight's dinner is a creamy tomato soup cooked in the crock pot and, as long as I can get it going in time, grilled cheese sandwiches on homemade bread! Yum.
