How I've spent my unemployment...
/I'm a strong believer in making lemonade with the lemons that life throws at you. In 2008 as my company slowly lost work, lay-offs were eminent. I swore that I would make the most of my unemployment and travel. Little did I know that "unemployment" would last 2+ years, and I'd end up becoming self-employed instead. Marvelous. So for all you who didn't know where I was when I disappeared out of town... here I was! (And I just noticed I traveled every month from July 2009 to now... so crazy)
