So I figured since I have new digs for my blog I should probably do an update, since it has been awhile. As you notice from the title, I am still on a quest for a job. It will happen someday I just keep searching and praying. I have applied to be a substitute teacher for Metro schools in Nashville, but that takes 6 weeks to process so I won't know anything until February about that. I have been applying for admin assistant positions constantly, but those require more experience than I have and a lot of the postings I come across are scams to get you to fill out stuff, so I have to be pretty picky.
Since I have had more time on my hands, I have finally took it upon myself to try cooking. I have always had a huge fear or cooking, since every attempt in the past has set off smoke alarms. :) Well my older sister, Amber, has started a Cooking
Blog and has posted all of her recipes and others my mom has used and grandma has used. So, since I know some of the meals I have attempted them. Red Lobster biscuits are my favorite and I have those down, salmon patties are easy (but I still have to get the cooking down better), and pumpkin bread turned out good (except the fact I filled it too high and it was dripping opps!). I am learning as I go, but Brian definitely enjoys that I am cooking more and he doesn't have to come home after working all day and then having to cook dinner. :)
The blues jam is going ok. We still enjoy running the jam, but the guy who sets up the gigs is starting to "screw" over his friends and us. So we are looking into starting our own jam in another venue, but we just have to find a venue who will pay us a base pay so we can make sure the host band is paid for their time. We will see, but we are tired of being taken advantage of by this guy especially since I do not have a day job he is asking me to do more promoting and other things without any pay. So we will see....
Brian and I are great! We love each other very much and talk about marriage almost everyday, we just are in a poor financial situation to even think about a wedding. Brian tries so hard to make me happy and my family happy, all he wants is to be apart of my family and I be apart of his. But with my thinking, I just want to move away and maybe that will get people to miss me and talk to me. Oh well! It's just sometimes my parents forget that I am 24 years old and I am an adult, I never ask them for help with anything anymore, and I am extremely happy at where I am at, but I feel like I'm always trying to please them, but never can. Brian sees it takes a wear on me and wants to do something but can't. That is where I am getting this maybe I'll move away idea. Sometimes I feel like that stereotypical middle child, my older sister has the kids and lives in Chattanooga so people get excited to see her, my younger sister is always in trouble with something so gets attention in the way that everyone just wants to help her and not let her help herself, and me well I keep to myself, figure things out and have to call everyone if I want to see them. Oh well I have a plan.
I do have a plan for my career. I am looking into going back to school and getting a Masters in Elementary Education so I can become a teacher. I am interviewing for a position with the
Nashville Teaching Fellows Program so I hope to get that. If not, I will go to MTSU and get my Masters that way. We will see, but this way I can move where ever I want.
That's all for now, check out a new artist I have come across recently... Madeleine Peyroux.
