Fox & Hound, here I come!

Feb 19, 2008 11:03



So, last night I fell in love with this school only to find out this morning that they charge 9,000$ a year! Unfortunately, hubby and I still owe the government more than that in back taxes, but we both know this is the very best place for our baby girl to learn and grow. So, we are going to make it happen come hell, creditors or extra part-time ( Read more... )

I salute you, Rhona. You and your husband - you guys are brilliant the way you work together to build a life for yourselves and Daphne.

Good luck at the interview! You'll do great - how could they not love you?

And I totally agree with you about working a job that allows you the 'brain space' to write fiction too. I have to do the same, that's why I've taken the teaching assistant job. We can do it!!!! :)

I was going to write something suitably witty and cutting, but I am laughing too much at the *snap* part... Hee!

I think you should join our club. You could be the secretary...

I dunno Kaz,

Don't you think he's a bit too gross and besides, how will he type with no hands and how will we know when he's happy, sad or mad when we can't see his eyebrows?

Hey! There's a Fox and Hound not far from my house. I've never been in there, too many shootings. ;-)

Actually, I've heard it's a nice, calm, classy kind of sports bar. 'Cept for when there's shootings. ;-)

LOL!

Yur funny;-)

Yea, I found the opening on Craig's list and since we've been once and I liked it there, I figure why not try, you know?

I'll let you guys know how it goes. I think it will be fun even if I do have to string customers up by their heels and shake extra tips out of their pockets.

I dream of becoming a IBCLC (internationally board certified lactation consultant). It will take me 500-1000 hours of internship, taking some continuing education classes, and taking a big exam. I will end up working for free for my hospital and some other yet to be named sites. Once I have the IBCLC, I want to work one day a week at my hospital as a lactation consultant, and volunteer with battered women's shelters and homeless shelters to support breastfeeding.

Well I think that is one of the most beautiful, giving dreams I've ever heard.

I hope you can figure out how to make it happen girl.

Hi Rhona. I just added you as a friend because you are on many of my friends' lists and whenever I click over I'm inspired by what you have to say about writing and your process. :) Good luck with the job interview!

Hi!

I am so flattered to have your company here girl and I promise it has NOTHING to do with the fact that you are in the chocolate pretzel buiz...

Don't expect being a "successful" novelist to raise much money either.. hee!

WHAT?

:::head swivels around 190 degrees:::

BLASPHEMER!

LOL, yea, I know, not at first, but I figure if I can manage to make every novel a little better and add even just one more fan each year, I ought to be able to make more and more over time. You know?

If that doesn't work, I know people in the mafia and I will blackmail them!

I might suggest that blackmailing a mafioso is perhaps not a choice leading to a lengthy career.

Well crap.

Thanks for chasing that dream right out the window!
