Keeping Busy in a Slow Economy (and You Don’t Have a Job Keeping You Busy)

Keeping up on your soaps.

Ok, so I don’t watch soap operas, but I do like my fair share of reality television (who doesn’t?). During what feels like unemployment, thanks to what is called the “shoulder season” at the Giant Shrimp, I have been fashionably schooled by Rachel Zoe, learned how to "flip out", sell a house, buy a house, cook, paint, sew, sing, design a bedroom, ballroom dance, walk a runway, offend people, lose weight, live in the “real world,” drink, live off the land, fall in love, find ghosts, and I finally learned how to pronounce “auf wiedersehen” thanks to Heidi Klum. There is a lot to be learned out there. We just have to go and watch it.
