Apple butter... I don't think so. I'm not sure what you do with it, for one thing. But thank you!

Put it on baked goods. It's more like preserves, not dairy-product butter. Yummy on: pancakes, crepes, waffles, muffins, toast, and especially cornbread.

ION, I was going to be all diligent and write my journal entry and tutoring log during my free hour (one of my students canceled. But, hey! They let me know! I consider that progress!). Instead, I'm looking at pictures on flickr. Not so productive, but I think I needed the break.

At least you already knew that it would take for-freaking-ever!

No, that's the thing! I went in with, basically, "my ear feels funny," and the first time my butt hit a chair it was to get my vitals taken. The only use I got out of my puzzle magazine was in the exam room waiting for the doctor to come in, and I didn't even get one Sudoku puzzle done!

Dude, you should totally try a small college town. No waiting!

Hot damn! I'm jealous! In a crazy-sounding kind of way.

Oh, and Emily, did you see my LJ post from last night?

If not, what's the *one* career I said I'd never consider?

Oh yeah, I did see that! I think you'd be great at it. I mean, you're enjoying the Sunday school thing too, right? Not that that's necessarily the age group you're thinking about, but it's got the crowd control element.

Although if I hadn't seen your post, I might have been puzzled. Porn inspector? Fundamentalist preacher? Mathematician?

I don't really talk about it much, but that's where I went to junior high and high school.

I didn't know that, but that's cool. I hate to drag up old stuff if it's not fun to talk about, but where did you live? I'm just curious, I guess. I don't think I want to live in MN again, but in many ways, I think it's a really nice place to live.

Bwah! I guess I don't say it as much as I thought I did, because my dad was all perplexed this morning too. I used to say it a lot: "I'll NEVER be a teacher!" I mean, both of my parents were teachers, and that just was not the road I wanted to travel.

Sucks when it seems to be in your genes.

but it's got the crowd control element.

Very true. And thankfully that's going a little better too. Although, last week they all left thinking that King David stole a poor man's sheep. Damn craft that went the lesson was trying to apply the concept, and wasn't about the story, which got them TERRIBLY confused.

I'll e-mail you, k?

Re-Gronk.

Well, thanks to someone pushing me gently, I have a resume. All shiney and everything. I showed DH and his reply was "You are extremely underpaid". Think that will work if I show it to my boss?

But now what. I haven't job hunted in forever. I've been here for almost 17 years.

If I find a new job that means I have to stay in the area. But if I look outside the area, then I have to move. I want to wait for K-Bug to graduate before I decide on anything location-wise. Money is so tight these days, it might be time to move out of the bay area. But if I get a good paying job, then we could, potentially, afford to stay.

Blarg. So confused. Is it worth putting my resume out there even if I don't know what the heck I want to do???
