Ho-hum. Another work week. Bleh.

So we have all this freaking ham... hub's been trying to come up with creative ways to cook it. I yelled 'kolaches!' and sure enough, he found a recipe and made ham and cheese kolaches. I took two for lunch, and they were great! Tonight is some sort of pasta carbonara.

The job situation is... well, different, I don't know as I'd go so far as to say 'better.' Hub was offered a contract for a couple of months at Pervasive for 20 hours a week. This will make him about $100 more a month than unemployment, which stops the unemployment if we need it later. This is nice, but doesn't come near to paying the bills still. We're getting by because I'm in forbearance in my student loan, and making partial payments on my car payment. When the insurance goes up $250 in September, we'll be screwed. He has an interview for a part-time desktop publisher, but that'll only pay $12-15/hour if he gets it. Work is nice, but work that pays the bills would be nicer if you're listening, work gods.

Don't you hate it when you have to pray in legalize. Okay gods...not just a job, a full time job with benefits that pays enough to keep up with the bills and isn't too soul killing...oh and in Austin, preferably during the day...It's pretty bad when you have to see a lawyer before you light that candle and make your request.

Sheesh- no kidding. I was thinking that this reminded me of when I was looking for a boyfriend. "Oh, I forgot to mention sane? Sorry, I want sane too." "I know I said money doesn't matter, but I don't want to have to support him financially." "By 'smart' I didn't mean an intellectual pantload- here we go again."
