Vocation, schmocation

No, I am not up here making cider and knitting shawls from babysoft a!paca fleece, as my friend Beppe has asserted. And we are all safe and sound. Mostly I've been working a lot, trying to cobble together half a living from several different sources.

Also, apparently the last post I wrote was tagged as a draft, so it never got online.

I'll make it up to you, baby. I promise.

In the meantime, here are a few of the things I've been doing instead of blogging:

Writing Web site copy for businesses that sell things like industr!al e!ectrical systems or manufactur3d homes.

Watching "House."

Writing marketing case studies.

Being an !thaca Mom.

Registering for school.

Experiencing highly stressful teen problems.

Taking my academic adviser's advice and thinking about why I'm majoring in marketing, and what I might want to study were I to attend graduate school.

Realizing that I would have ZERO interest in studying marketing or anything like it in graduate school.

Finding this program.

Thinking I need to exercise more.

Vowing not to sit down every night and snack until I fall into a sleepy, salt-and-chocolate-induced coma.

Breaking that vow. Because, salt? Chocolate? Are you kidding me?

Thinking about blogging without actually, you know, doing it.

I've been looking into the low residency MFAs, too. Bennington wouldn't be for me, but I wish it was. Oh, to have the money (and the time to write a proper application with something other than, well, blog entries.)

Don't major in marketing. Don't they have a major in blogging?

Baby JESUS-soft fleece, I said. That's like, twice the softness.

yeah, but where are you getting your doctorate?
