June Cleaver, Julia Child and I are best friends!

You would think that while I am currently unemployed, I would be blogging like crazy.  I have found that I am very busy.  I clean the house, apply for jobs, cook and exercise. Take the exercise out of it and I have become June Cleaver/Julia Child!  Never thought I would enjoy cooking and cleaning.   Now I don't vacuum in pearls, more like exercise gear, but I do get excited when I learn how to really clean my stainless steel sink from Pinterest.

Yesterday, for the first time, I had my hand up a chicken's butt, pulling out icky stuff and putting in lemons and vegetables.  Never had done that before.  Ew.  I now understand why Julia Child would get pickled on wine while cooking.  It is hard work!  After spending over 2 hours prepping and setting off the fire alarm from smoke, I make a damn good chicken, but I was exhausted!  To think that I could get almost the same thing at Tom Thumb for $6.00!

The best thing about my time off is I am learning loads about myself.  I am happy.  I have been reading several books about directions I could take in life.  I know I want to do something, but just haven't zeroed in on what.  So, while I look for my next career, I will continue to find out how to get my whites, whiter and try to make delicious meals for the current main wage earner (husband).  So far, I have mastered chicken, meatloaf, pot roast and salmon.  I wonder what will be next???
