So failing at my new year's resolution...

...to write with discipline. I guess I can take solace in the fact that I have more posts this year than last. Sigh. And..the fact that I have two jobs (sometimes three) that keep me very busy. Happy things.

I'm still subbing, as well as working at a used record store that is managed by one of my good friends. I know she will never, ever read this, but thank you KP. You really saved my bacon.

And, a few weeks ago I started a new Youth Services position at a local library. I think this was a mixture of right place, right time, right qualifications. I cannot put into words how happy I am that it worked out. I get to play with books and kids all summer and well past that if I have anything to say about it. Not that I've given up on the dream of my own classroom. But this, this works for now and I am quite satisfied with where I am and how I've gotten here.

Now I can pay my student loans (for the master's, which is starting to pay great literary dividends), save more money, and build time in my schedule to write, dammit. :)

It looks like it's going to be a good summer. Amen to that.
