My interview at the school went well, HOWEVER I was under the impression that the job started immediately but I was totally wrong and it doesn't start until the fall. Which doesn't do me much good. But there is a summer programand a good posibility I could teach a writing workshop there this summer. I sent the guy I met (head of school, he looks ( Read more... )

I've been applying for any job I can find, as I am realizing I need more money. It sucks when you can't pay your bills. I really like our apartment and I think I would like it more if I felt like I could afford it, so a better job or even just an enjoyable second job would be great. Yesterday I sent my resume to Academy Hill school in Springfield, ( Read more... )

Christmas was great. I drove all over the place and got to see lots of people... as in my mom, my sis, my dad, nate, his parents, brother and grandparents. We got lots of neat stuff. Our apartment is still a mess with all our new stuff and candy waiting to be put away somewhere (but where?). We got lots of nice new pots and pans, and chopsticks! So ( Read more... )

I love Christmas! I also love that I have a credit card this year, so I could actually buy people good presents although I might not love it so much when I have to pay the bill. I just went and did my last minute shopping for Nate and it was great because it was so late there were hardly any other people in the stores. Earlier today all the parking ( Read more... )

This week is dragging on forever. It's only Thursday. It's not even time to go back to work yet. Although it almost is, and I'm making cookies and I still have another batch to go in the oven and I'm really cutting it close. I ruined the first batch because I didn't have enough maple syrup and I thought it might still work, but it didn't... it was ( Read more... )

I looked in the mouse cage today and noticed Dean laying in the middle of the cage, which is very unusual. I picked him up and saw that his eyes were crusted shut, he was cold, and barely moving. He was breathing, but very slowly. I put him in a seperate cage with clean bedding. He ate some peanutbutter, but he's really not moving much. I've seen ( Read more... )

Ok, so I bought this sweater today at Target intending to give it to my sister... then I went to Faces in Northampton and saw a sweater I think she'll like more and bought it. So now I have this extra sweater from Target and I can't decide if I should just keep it for myself or if I should go back and return it. It was $30. Please, I'm bad at ( Read more... )

We wanted to get a Christmas tree yesterday, but all the tree places closed really early. I was incredibly sad. Tonight, though, we're getting a tree ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today I fell asleep after I got home from work and didn't wake up until after noon. I feel like such a burn out because of this. Usually I just lay there not really sleeping until I finally give up on it and get up, but lately I've been falling asleep for real. I wonder if it's because I've been putting my flannel pajama pants on when ( Read more... )

I'm baking a cran-apple pie for thanksgiving. I'm a little worried because I don't really know how to make apie. The filling with surely be delicious.... apples, cinnamon, sugar, cranberries... but the crust is causing me some concern. I made a vegan crust, and I really hope it cooks right and tastes ok. This is my first pie, so if it sucks I guess ( Read more... )
