Happy New Year...ish

Can you get away with saying that in February? Mid-February no less?
So here it is, mid-February 2014, 6 whole months after being back in the states and yes, still unemployed. Oh how I so enjoy answering that question.
STILL unemployed and the money is running out quickly. But I'm not worried, so why should you be?
December was a fun but busy month. I went home for Christmas for the first time in 3 years and it was glorious. Spent a lot of time at my brother's restaurant working with him, making the pasta, helping with whatever I could. It is super fun to be there. I wish it was located in Southern California. My sister's kids were all home for the holidays and hanging out with them as adults is so much fun. Of course I miss the babies, but they're just super cool people and I really adore them. Worked NYE at the restaurant to help my brother out and as busy as it was, it was really fun. Rang in the new year with my brother Bob and Sister Jill at a local bar where we danced and sang to 70's and 80's rock and roll. It was really fun. To think a mere year ago, I was doing the same in Transylvania.
Back to Cali in January brought some Peace Corps reunions with some more friends but still no job. Working at the theatre still but our show ended in mid-January. The exciting news is that it was picked up for a feature film. I will be working on that in June and I sure hope to do more at that theatre as it is a wonderful place with wonderful people. 
So now, back on the job hunt. I'm being a little more aggressive than I have in the past few months after slowly realizing that no one is going to just hand me a job. That's depressing, I thought I'd be pretty wanted with the resume that I have. But I'm still at it. Can we just leave it at that?
Just wanted to quickly update. Be back soon with Oscar pics...the important things in life.
