Welp, it's that time of year when my finances go from poor to nearly nonexistant. So, I went and got myself a job at Barnes & Noble. I'm actually kind of excited about this. Kind of. At least I get to work in the children's section. And I get to do story time on Saturday mornings, which is great because all those little kids are really cute. I picked the bookstore because of my love of... okay my obsession with books. Is it bad that when I got the job my first thought wasn't "Gee, now I'll be able to actually pay my bills", but "Employee Discount!!!!!" (complete with drool and everything)? I'm beginning to wonder if I'll be bringing home a paycheck every two weeks or just a huge bag of books. Oh, the possibilities!!

Lost Prophecies:
Welcome to the one procratination tool I have left. I'm an overworked, underpaid English teacher. I do, however, love my job. Seriously, I really do. Anyhow, this blog started in my grad school days. I'm currently redoing it to reflect my new position in life. Enjoy!
The Faerie Ring:
"Mom" - My mom who is the most wonderful mom in the world! We hang out together and go to craft shows.
"Dad" - My dad who pretends to be a hunter/mountain man. He makes good grouse and is convinced pizza is health food.
"Glitter Sister" - My sister who can be distracted by sale tags and sparkly objects. She's 20.
"Survivor Uncle" - One of my two uncles who feed me on Thursdays while watching Survivor. He likes Donny Osmond a little too much.
"Alliance Uncle" - Survivor Uncle's partner. We have an alliance and kick people off islands.
"The Tilted Dog" - Lucie, the cutest dog in the whole world. She's afraid of the kitchen and likes to chase squirrels. She also leans to the left when she has an ear infection.
