Preschool Rockstar? Not forever....

Well, considering that I almost never post... I've decided it's because I like having a zine more than a blog... new things that are going on:

-My childhood friend Angela is moving to Japan today, for around 2 years. I'm sure she'll get to visit here every six months or so, but it's still kind of sad.

-John and I have now been together for 6 1/2 months! And he's sleeping next to me on the couch, periodically snoring. Very cute.

-It is snowing A LOT. Like a whole lot. At least 6 inches, on top of some old snow/ice. I'm not driving anywhere!

-This is the last year I'm going to be teaching at my school. It's been decided for a while, but putting it in writing makes it really true. My plan is to start a cooking school, in Fall 2009. It's going to focus on vegetarian food, with mostly organic and/or locally grown ingredients. (to the best of my ability.) Still trying to decide on a name, but I have a little time still.... :)

So, yes. While I will still have preschoolers as a focus for some of my cooking class; I will be done with the rest of the bullshit! No more report cards, parent conferences, 2 hour staff meetings from hell, requests to translate report card comments, auction projects, political "the dollar is the bottom line" decisions regarding students' placements, hour-long commutes, stupid bosses, and intrusive bitchass parents who think they know how I should do my job! (well, there might be a few of those left in my future, but if they aren't happy, they can leave.) So, big yea for me for finally FINALLY figuring out what I want to do, in a way that will work. And my future zine? Will either be called "Eat Your Veggies" or "Bite Me!". :)
