Here's to all things new!

Arkansas. How did it happen? Things just fell in place since I randomly went on a job fair in Little Rock. Have I ever lived there? Nope. Do I know anyone there? I have a college friend that lives about 2.5 hours from where I will be. Are you crazy? Probably.

Many of my friends know that I first moved to eastern Kentucky due to landing a new job and was in the same situation. I didn't know anyone. I had a friend that lived 2 hours away. Why that area again.

Maybe I'm living like a gypsy moving around for jobs BUT I hope that this is the last move!

Well I didn't say that I wasn't nervous because I am. Wouldn't others be if they were in my shoes but I've done it once and will hopefully be fine doing it this time. I look forward to the new school year and teaching new things and putting in some hours and hopefully seeing some results.

Now on to the blog itself. If you've been following me for  little while, you may have noticed some downsizing of posts. I'm not regretting posting anything or trying to delete something from my memory. I'm just trying to start fresh and clean in every aspect of my life.

Here's to many more posts from me! (And thanks to my friend for inspiring me to blog again!)



Drum roll please!!!!!!

Well, if you have been reading along the few blogs that I have written you knew that I have been searching for a new job. I got an interview at one of the least expected places.....

I'm very excited to get to go to New Orleans for the very first time!!!!!!!

My love, my life, my job

Being a teacher is who I am. It's hard for me to think of myself as something other than a teacher. Why am I thinking of this. Because I am 99.9% certain that I will not survive this year's budget cuts since I am not tenured in my school district. It's life. I knew this was going to happen and I planned on starting applications soon anyways.
So many things are going through my mind but the most important and prevalent one is that change is good. I do believe that change is good. I do want to settle down somewhere eventually. Maybe this is my chance to really go out and do something with my life. I'm not stopping at school systems when I look for applications. I am going to look at music organizations, charities and non profits. I also want to downsize what I have majorly. I feel like having massive yard sales this spring and summer!

Snow Day!

Well the flakes are flying so I don't have work today. I even went to bed later than usual in anticipation of sleeping in.....that didn't work. It was 7am when I woke up. I don't consider sleeping 30 minutes to an hour later as sleeping in. So as I watch more flakes fly by, I am thinking of a few things. 1) Should I knit know or later? I just started a new class and need to get rolling on some homework. More homework + less knitting = not so much fun. 2) When I go grocery shopping I need to focus on always picking up a few essentials. Like an onion. I went to make a brown sauce and had no onion. I could walk to the grocery store today but I bet too many people would ask if I need a ride. lol. The grocery store is only a 15-20 minute walk so there is no need for a ride and plus with the snow on the ground, I'd rather just use my feet.

I swear when it snows, I walk MORE. Does that make sense? I guess I don't want to feel trapped?
