Who says you can't ride your bike to the bar?

"I will kick a kitten if it snows again." – my buddy Amanda, who apparently stole it from my buddy Paula :)

It snowed the past few days in Cleveland. In April. Not that it's that shocking...it's happened every April for years. It still sucks though. And it just makes me not want to do anything. I tried to work on my portfolio, resume, all that...which is good. But now I have cabin fever and I need to get out from behind my computer. I still have a lot to do though. I have to apply for a couple jobs this week, I have more updating to do, a couple freelance things for a friend....ugh. But the sun is shining! (Kittens all over Cleveland are sighing with relief).

It is going to be sooo hard to be laid off and stay motivated in the summer. I will be at the beach everyday, soaking up every bit of sun from this moody ohio sky. I mean, it will be great to be laid off in the summer because there will be so much more to do...but it will just be hard to keep myself on track in the career department. Do you look like a douchebag if you take your laptop to the beach?

Who knows though. Maybe I will find a job by then. Maybe I won't. I will try to make the best of either situation.

For now...I actually shelled out 189 dollars this month for cobra. Sooo...I actually have health insurance! I can ride my bike! I might only be able to afford it this month though, so I should get some serious bike riding in. Maybe break a leg just because I can. heh.

That's probably not funny. Watch me break my leg now. I've never broken a bone in my life and it will probably happen at the exact second that my health insurance expires. Sweet!

I went out to happy hour with one of my laid off buddies last night....and discovered that you can get four pints of Miller Lite and an order of quesadillas, plus leave a twenty percent tip, for fifteen bucks. Fifteen! pretty good. Happy hour at Merry Arts in Lakewood. Good stuff.

With all the money I saved, I went across the street and got a six-pack of Dogfish Head 60 minute for $8.99. Not the best decision when you're broke. I just really miss good beer. sigh.

Maybe I'll start making my own. Where can a girl get a good deal on some hops?
