When I wasn't working and doing fun stuff, I spent a good part of 2015 going back and forth about grad school. I even applied to a couple. But ultimately decided that I just don't feel right adding to my already enormously high student loan mountain of debt. ...that is already growing since I am helping Jessi pay for college.... and interest of course. I would love to get my Master's. I LOVE school and I would also love to be more marketable once we starting planning our move from Maine, and I have the time for it with the job I have now. So if I could just win the lottery...... I have few regrets in life as everything I have lived through has made me the bucket of awesomesauce that I am today, but I definitely regret spending all that money and time going to Husson University to get my teaching credentials. I could have my graduate degree, and instead I have nothing since I didn't finish the program by doing student teaching. (THAT I do not regret, as I now know that teaching is NOT my calling!)
I have also spent a good part of the year eliminating things, and people, from my life--and my Facebook that cause me drama and discord. I am instituting Flylady's general philosophy of 'If you look at it and it doesn't make you smile, you don't need it in your life.' Perhaps in 2016 I can institute the actual housecleaning part of the Flyolady philosophy LOL.... WHO ARE WE KIDDING!!??
So now.... I present to you (and future me).....
My favorite moments in 2015!!!
