Thankfulness

I haven't written on my blog for a few weeks for a couple of reasons. 1- I've been busy getting birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, cleaning, organizing, job hunting, substituting, sleeping. I'm fading as I'm typing this. I go all out during the day and pretty much drop when I sit down. Sucks getting old. 2- I was made fun of for having my blog. It was a friendly poking fun, but it still hurt. It is narcissistic to have one. So why am I writing? I'm not sure. And no, I'm not narcissistic. I've dated too many guys who are. Called one Dorian Gray, actually. He didn't get it. Sheesh.

I did get a job though! I guess I wanted you all to know that (whomever reads this thing anyways). I took a full time seasonal (for the winter- until April) job at Pico Ski Resort heading up the PicoStars ski school program (4-6 year olds). I start December 12th setting up our rooms, (cleaning) and learning the computer system. Like someone told me today, "hey, it's a job." Yes indeed! I've been rejected from LLBean and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, but I won't give up! After ski school, I'll reapply to both. Teaching is looking grim. All schools are cutting back- can't afford all the teachers and don't need them because enrollment is down. I might look into teaching overseas again. But if I couldn't stick it out in South Florida, I'm not sure if Costa Rica or Slovakia would be any better. Only God knows.

I'm not sure if I'll be writing too much on this blog anymore. I have a job and I will always be pursuing patience. Especially in my new job. I guess I could write about my adventures there, but I'm sure it won't be very interesting to those who actually read this thing. But let me know- as some Vermonters say "irregardless". haha... it isn't a word, but I've heard a school librarian use it in all seriousness.

Thank you to all who have read this so far. I'm very thankful for your support and prayers and good wishes for me. You are all wonderful. Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your friends and family!

Turkey for the girls and turkey for the boys,

my favorite kind of pants are cordoroys

Gobble gobble goo and gobble gooble giggle

I wish turkey only cost a nickle

Oh... I love turkey on Thanksgiving....

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!"
