Down with Singing Oranges!
Last night was a very special night. Sesame Street celebrated its 35th Anniversary! I, like many people my age, grew up watching the best of educational kids shows like Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow and Mr. Roger's. I love 'em still. Well, except for that damn orange that used to sing opera on Sesame Street, does anyone else remember that? I found out that Sesame Workshop is currently hiring for PR Assistants. I checked out the requirements and I fit! So last week I sent in my resume. I don't know if I'll hear back, but at least I'm trying. I'm also still waiting to hear back from the Utah Department of Education on my Alternative Route to Teacher Licensure. Dag Nabbed red tape, it slows everything down.
Shamim really went for my joke. I had her going on the phone Saturday for about 30 minutes before I broke it to her that I was not actually engaged. She took it well; she has an excellent sense of humor.
After my Saturday, Iced Tea Session at Barnes and Noble with Shera and Adriana, I've discovered that I'm actually far more "old-fashioned" than I previously thought. For example, even though I'm all about women's rights, equality in the workplace, etc. if the love of my life were to offer to support our lifestyle together without me working a "real job" I would be ok with that. I could be a housewife. I enjoy taking care of my place of living. In fact I did a thorough spring-cleaning of my residence this weekend. It's very refreshing and sparkly now. Plus, it would give me ample time to read and write, without having to worry about working to pay bills. As long as I'm not pregnant and barefoot, it would all be good.
My achiness is creeping back. Considering I've given up on doctor's finding out what's up, I guess it's back to really hot mineral baths, more yoga and massage. I'm really tired of being a pincushion, only to find that the test results have changed, yet again.
Here's to hoping that I hear from another place of work soon, I don't know how much longer I can stand typing up policies and procedures.

you know, there are a series of mystery books i read, set in the future in which being a stay at home mother is a professional career. and people get paid. not a lot, but they do get paid. which sounds awesome to me, because that has to be the most difficult job in the world. except for, maybe, podiatrist. looking at all those smelly ugly feet all day has to be worse.

Oh hell yeah. I know it's not an easy job. I just look at what my mom did for my brother and I before she went back to school...she did a damn good job at raising her two kids. I don't think I could be a podiatrist. I really look up to the Certified Nursing Aides who work for us, because personally, I could never clean up grown-up people poop. I have a hard enough time cleaning up Pretty-Kitty vomit.
