Today- Made oatmeal bread ( I love making bread, its like playing with playdough with a purpose), and printed off a muffin recipe collection. I have been a little obsessed with muffins lately. I found recipes for gingerbread muffins, peanut butter muffins, carrot muffins, and a few more. I'll update this later if any turn out to be really good. (Minor tidbit about my rampant nerdiness- I read recipe books like novels, and love love love to look up recipes online.)
Yesterday- Recovered from halloween, and sent my child to a sugar detox facility. BOUGHT A LAPTOP!!! Why did I buy a laptop? Because I landed an awesome job that requires my own laptop!! Its green, really green. I have been in love with the spring green dell laptop for at least a year now.
I have also been thinking lately about all the things I want to do in life, before I die. Or before I get too old and decrepit to want to do any of them.1. SKYDIVING! Yes I really do want to go skydiving. Just once.
2. Fight for a cause- go to a rally, or a strike, or burn my bra...
3. Surf
4. Learn how to swim
5. Find a career I love and make a difference in the world
6. Learn Spanish and use it.
7. Live abroad
8. Grow goats and sheep, and spin their wool into yarn, and then dye said wool using natural ingredients, then weave or knit wool into something gorgeous.
9. Write a novel
10. Be a spunky feisty old lady

you know what i immediately thought of when i read #10... a little spunky red headed old lady jumping on their neighbor's trampoline :) cool laptop!
I dared Grandma to ride a kid's scooter in the ZCMI once. And she did, up and down the aisles. She was definitely spunky.
So what's your new job?
Its a long story, but it involves high school, deaf students, and me on a laptop. And it pays extremely well ;)
That's a pretty good bucket list. Skydiving is also on my list.
I want to eventually be a grumpy old curmudgeon. But some of you say I have already achieved it.
Congratulations on your new job!
And I can totally relate to the feeling about not feeling "bloggy". I am in the same boat myself. It is a bit difficult to do creative writing under pressure of producing something on self-imposed deadlines.
Good luck with your new position-ace it!
So glad you got that job! I love the look of the lap top. The bucket list is great.
