I am collecting unemployment for the first time in my entire working career (16 years) and it's going to be rough for a while. On the bright side we did sell our house on a short sale so now we are left with the uncertainty "now where do we live?"
We have been wanting to move to Colorado for a long time now and it seems the best time is now. I am currently not working and Zman will be out of school soon so now may be the best time. I have heard that Colorado is doing a lot better than Florida during these hard economic times and the crime here in Florida has gotten out of hand. It is no longer a great place to raise kids.
I have been applying for jobs in Colorado as well as Florida but really hoping to get a job in Colorado. It's difficult applying in another state as you are most likely looked over for someone who already lives there. If anyone reading this blog knows someone in Colorado looking for a hard working, organized individual...hook a sista up!
In the meantime I am going to keep taking baths to help relax me...(and have a couple of Bacardi and Diet Cokes)now excuse me while I find me some Calgon.

Good luck with your job search! Keep your head up- I'm sure anybody that hired you would be lucky to have you!

where at in Colorado???? i want to come visit....
good luck in your job hunting. is your husband going to be able to get a job there too?????
i am excited for you!!!!
I wish you all the best in your job hunt, and possibly a new home hunt, too. Don't worry about collecting unemployment...you've paid in all these years so it's time for you to be paid back for awhile. You'll be back in the donating category in no time!
I'm praying for you. I know you'll find something soon and that will be your sign of where to go next. But you really need to look in KC and come live by me!!!! {HUGS}
Hey, don't count Texas out!! We could try to hook a sista up! Good luck. I'm praying for you. I know it will all work out.

Wow Colorado?! That's a big difference from Florida. Well, I hope you guys find a place and can get settled in quick! Good luck!
WE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! I think the hubby and I will be moving in May...We can go through a move together! How exciting! It will be a fresh new start... How does that work for your husbands job?
You could always stop by Mississippi when traveling from Fl to Col ... if for nothing else to let our 2 Brutus Bulldogs meet! No, seriously good luck with you job search -- I have no doubt you will find one.

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through such a tough time. I do not personally know you but as a blog friend you seem like an amazing person. I pray that god will bless you and your family :)

I hope things work out for you soon!

OOh - Colorado sounds fun to me!! How exciting the opportunity to move to another state! It does sound like to perfect time to relocate...and even in the times we are faced with - that is truly exciting. I wish you the best of luck!
Wow! Well, I wish you luck. I got a job in FL within 2 weeks of moving here from NY because I had a date when I would arrive & was straight forward about that in my cover letters. So, it helps for them to know that you WILL be there in a matter of time. Good luck!!!!
Oh my goodness, good luck on your search!

And we love Colorado, J's family is all from there so I've been a few times and it surprised us both how much we love Denver.
Such a fun blog layout!
Oh my god, you're really thinking about moving to Colorado.. I know you've wanted to move there by reading your previous posts, but gosh, it's becoming a reality.
Now, I think I really need to plan a playdate. I won't let you go away without seeing each other..
Love you!
