A day in the Life of a Queen in her Castle

By now you must be asking yourself, what does one do all day when she doesn't have a job, and lives alone with her two dogs. Well, I'll tell you. This queen looks for jobs - going on the occasional interview,  sleeps ALOT, blogs, takes pictures of nothing, and plans what her new backyard is going to look like. It's all rather boring.

I start out the morning, enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I'll often open my  computer and enjoy my coffee while perusing the job boards looking for gainful employment. ADD sets in, and I open several tabs on my browser and end up shuffling back and forth through all of them getting side tracked along the way. For example, I found this on craigslist...Free bag of SALAD. I mean right? Or this one, free hats. I thought it might be something cool, but no, I was sadly mistaken...no offense to the hat guy. However, it did make me literally laugh out loud...so I tip my proverbial hat to you dude!

After a few hours of wasting time, sometimes productively, I decide that it's high time I get outside, while the weather is still nice. I mean, living in the middle of the desert, we don't get many days of tolerable temperatures. This is however, where I run into a slight problem. No job means no excess spending. I can't seem to justify any extra spending to beautify my back yard, hence the activity of scouring craigslist...and I must tell you, I am kicking myself now for not jumping on a fantastic find a few days ago. Five resin trellises for $40. I so could have used them to mask my A/C unit and had two left over. Lesson in hesitation learned!!! I have a feeling that this project will be slow going until the cash starts coming in again, and then slow going because I'll be working again. What's that they say about double-edged swords!?!? Oh well, this Queen is off to find something more prodcutive to do than sit here at her computer...maybe lunch.
