A definite decision.

  Well, I did it.  I’ve officially accepted the job at the middle school.  I just didn’t want to wait any longer for the high school and risk not having a job at all next year, or having to come back to this one.  I’m going to view this as a trial year.  I loved the [...]

Joy in the Midst

  Okay, I’m a bit stressed, but all I can do is laugh at it all. I’ve pretty much been offered the job at the middle school, but I’m not sure if I should take it. The school is great, and I love the principal and asst. principal, but it’s middle school. It would be quite [...]

Nearing the Goal

  Okay, so the goal is to have a job lined up before the school year ends. It would completely suck to renew my contract here because I don’t have something lined up and then have to get out of it later when I do get a job offer somewhere else. Plus, I’d like to clean [...]

Addendum

  Just had to add on to yesterday’s post.  If you are looking for resources to shop green, check out ReusableBags.com.  Very cool.  I ordered some of their produce bags yesterday, both the mesh ones for shopping and the reusable plastic ones for fridge storage.  One of these days, I am so ordering their laptop lunch [...]

Going green and getting Lucky

  It’s not just a California thing, or at least it shouldn’t be. I don’t talk about this sort of stuff very often on my blog, but this weekend reminded me that maybe I should. Since moving into my own home, I’ve become increasingly conscious of my impact on the environment. Granted, I kind of hear [...]

All work and all play makes me tired.

  I haven’t been getting enough sleep. This was painfully apparent last night. By the time I got home from work, I had a pounding headach3 that would only subside when I laid down and closed my eyes. A bit of dinner also helped, and a couple of Advil, but I’m sure a full eight hours [...]

Ah, the weekends.

  Yet another fabulous weekend, making it difficult to go back to work. On Saturday, my brothers and Barbara came over for a BBQ.  The morning got off to a bit of a rough start, as K and I had a lot of stuff to do before they came over, but we had a lot of [...]

Doh!

  All this planning for my natural form dress, and I completely forgot that I’m going to be out of town the weekend of the event!  Now I’m in a dilemma.  Do I continue working on it just so that all the work I’ve done so far is worth something, or do I scrap the whole [...]

Owie

  I was on a roll last night.  My ride to the BART station after work had to bring me right away, so I was on an earlier train than I usually catch, which meant I was home by 4:15.  I decided to start with a bit of yard work.  I weeded the flower bed by [...]

No worries.

  Mock up #4 works!  Yay!  Now, I just need to mock up the collar to make sure it will work with the adjustments I made to the neckline.  That means that this weekend I should be able to squeeze in some time to start on the real stuff.  While I will probably be going to [...]
