Have you ever noticed that the farther you fall behind in something, the harder it is to catch up? Well, that's how I feel with my blog. I have so much to update on that the thought is daunting. But today the goal is, "catch up or bust!"
The biggest news is that I am no longer a full-time office employee.
It was hard saying goodbye to a job and coworkers who have been very good to me for the past two+ years, but it was the right decision. I was completely burnt out on office work--it was time to leave and focus on other things.
My last day was October 15th. I spent the next three days packing for my trip (more about that in my next post), tackling a huge to-do list, and doing such housewifely things as roasting my own pumpkin:
and making pizza:
I have a new part-time job, working at the commissary for Nestle. I stock things like canned pumpkin, Purina dog/cat food, holiday candy, and chocolate chips for an hour at night and 10 hours every other weekend. It's not a bad gig and pays at least one of our biggest bills. I'm also planning to start school at Pierce College in January. I am taking the placement test and going in for an advisory session next week, and class registration is at the end of the month. I'm going for an Associates in health/wellness, with a degree in Nutrition eventually.
Anyway, I'm loving life! One last picture, the hubby and me at Halloween. This was the first time we've ever dressed up together, haha.
pizza *drools*
ReplyDeleteWe were discussing your chocolate chip cookies last Sunday: your cooking is still sorely missed :P
And congrats on school :)
Aww, cute Halloween photo! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for your school adventure! Sounds like a great plan! I think your part time job sounds cool. I believe my Aunt did something similar at a few grocery stores and it led to a couple neat opportunities. I don't really know much about it, but I remember her talking about it anyway. haha...
The pizza looks super good!
