Monday didn’t start off well. I had a meeting with my boss at 8:30 where I learned that my contract with my current company will end at the end of March. It’s not like it’s a total surprise. It was a contract job. They end.

And just because I’m a glass is half-full kinda gal, I decided to list… 13 positive things that will result from my unemployment.

1. More time to plan the wedding and have fun with wedding crafts.
2. Exercise time is no longer a commodity; maybe I can drop a few pounds before the wedding.
3. No more alarm clock
4. Non-existent commute will save gas money
5. Crafts, crafts and more crafts!
6. Quality time with the chickens
7. I can finally read some of the books that are stacking up on my nightstand
8. Jimbo will get more home-cooked meals
9. Visits with stay-at-home-mom friends
10. Catching up on my DVR
11. Indulge my inner entrepreneur with freelance jobs and side projects (anyone need a new blog design or hand-made invitations?)
12. Rediscover my authentic self
13. Time to look for my dream job
