I'm Up!!!!!

Ok, so I've been away for too long. Let me just say that I have completely lost some motivation. I'll blame it on that really great job that I totally had falling through. It just kinda punched me in the stomach when they told me it was on hold. So, it was like starting from square one...again. And now, the job market is tough, so I'm trying to come up with new ideas.

Idea One: Culinary School. This was my first idea when I was moving! But I let it fall by the wayside for some reason. Well, I have an appointment with an admissions person on Monday at CHIC (Culinary and Hospitality Institute of Chicago). We'll see how it goes. It may be too pricey but it may be the right choice for me now.

Idea Two: Yoga School. I've always talked about getting certified to teach yoga. I love my new studio and I know they are having a cert program start soon. Something I will look into further.

Idea Three: Keep pounding the pavement in higher ed. I kind of pushed my field to the side, but recently have been applying for jobs at colleges and universities. It wouldn't be the worse thing I guess, even though I wanted something new. But, I do believe University Registrar being my last title is hurting me. Some may think I'm over qualified for let's say an advisor position. Oh well.

Idea Four: I guess there is no fourth idea. But, John and I have been talking baby, but that is not the ultimate solution. I still need to get my shit together first.

I have decided to keep up with this blog at least every other day. I am so jealous of Melissa and her wonderful blog http://labellecookie.blogspot.com/. She writes all the time and has great pics! She'll be happy later on in life that she documented her life. I'm going to give it another shot.

Today I'm planning on yoga at noon. John and I are going out to eat tonight so I need to pick a place. Always tough in a city with so many great options. Last weekend we went to Avec in the West Loop before we saw Wicked. It was an all around amazing evening. The best thing at Avec were their bacon wrapped dates....yum. Here are some pics from that evening:
