Live like I'm unemployed

Years ago, Tim McGraw had a big hit, "Live Like You Were Dyin'." Well, I'm not dying. But, my life as a Nonworking Girl is. So I've decided to compile a list of things I should do before I go back to work on Monday.

Ten things Tim did, according to the song:

1. Went skydiving.
2. Climbed the Rocky Mountains.
3. Rode 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu.
4. Loved deeper.
5. Spoke sweeter.
6. Gave forgiveness.
7. Became a better husband and friend.
8. Went fishing.
9. Read the good book, aka the Bible.
10. Analyzed how he would live his life if he could all over again.

What I hope to accomplish by weekend's end:

1. Stop diving off of my steps onto the couch because I will have finished putting together the wedding invitations strewn across my floor.
2. Climb onto my couch to completely clear out my DVR from all the TV shows I've recorded but haven't yet had the chance to watch.
3. Ride to the dog park with Nick's dog, Miss Elizabeth.
4. Finally love Cleveland because the weather has decided to be nice.
5. Be sweeter...to myself and go shopping with money I still don't have.
6. Forgive Patrick for not letting me spend money these past few weeks that I've been unemployed.
7. Be a good friend and sister by going to see Nick and Katie's wedding band perform live!
8. Fish for compliments, like always.
9. Read a good book by finishing David Sedaris's "While You Are Engulfed in Flames." Maybe even read two, by reading "Tales of Beedle the Bard."
10. Analyze my life and why I am already going back to work. Then complain about it.

We lead similar lives.


Anything else I should do before I'm done being unemployed? I'm open to suggestions, and I've got four more days to enjoy the life.

And just in case anyone was wondering, here are the results to yesterday's poll. Apparently, many of you think that I actually have a social life and can mix into Cleveland's inner social circles! Sheesh. I've got a lot of work to do (if this blog continues at all! Vote in the poll to the right!).

Gossip about the socialites of Cleveland: 40% (16 votes)
Pictures of me doing my day-to-day activities, like watching TV: 30% (12 votes)
TV show reviews and analyses: 17% (7 votes)
Live blogs throughout the day: 13% (5 votes)
