New Things in the New Year
Okay, so as promised I am back. This time with thoughts about what this year will bring:
1. Uncertainty. As in, I am uncertain about whether or not I will have the same job in the next six months. Our company is being sold, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is very up in the air whether or not my department will remain here. And I'm not going anywhere.
2. Learning. As in, I may be learning to be a Middle School English teacher if my formerly mentioned job disappers. I have enough credits in English to get a Florida teaching certificate (I was an ENglish minor in school). I'm actually a little excited about this...granted, I am praying that my job will stay the same and I won't have to worry about a career change, but the prospect of teaching English (and getting summers off, wow) is a teensy bit appealing. We shall see. I'm glad I have a backup option.
3. Eating. As in, Mr. Jones and I will be eating much more natural and healthy food this year. I feel like 2009 was my big awakening about food and its true effects on our health. So in 2010, I will be using my new Nourishing Traditions cookbook, making as many things from scratch as I can, and eliminating high fructose corn syrup, white sugar, and white flour from most of our diet (all about the 80/20).
4. Crafting. As in, I will continue on the crafting spree that I started earlier this month. I have really been inspired to turn off the TV and MAKE THINGS! Plus my Christmas presents all got rave reviews, so the goal is to keep the tide flowing with crafted gifts for the rest of this year. Not to mention a few fun crafty things for myself. I might just start taking pictures and posting them here, wait and see.
There you have it, 2010 and the things that will be on my mind New Year's Day. I'll post my resolutions here on Friday so I have a place to keep myself accountable. See you in the NEW YEAR!

Have you Met Miss Jones?
Hello! I am (shockingly enough) Miss Jones. Actually, to be completely accurate, I'm Mrs. Jones. But at church, all the kids call me "Miss Jones" and it matches the wonderful old song, so why not go with it? After all, even in the song it says, "Now I've met Miss Jones / And we'll keep on meeting / 'till we die." So I'm pretty sure that means they got married.
I decided it was high time that I start a blog. I don't expect it to be much, and it may take some time before I start sharing it with people other than those who randomly stumble upon it. But it's here. One of my big dreams is to have a wonderful blog once I have children, where I can share photos and experiences and fun things. Also not-so-fun things. It will probably be a while before there are any children, but I might as well start practicing now. Plus, I figure it will take some time for me to stop just writing gibberish and rambling on incoherently and start creating actual content. But I don't have to that yet. Because right now, the blog is for me (and me alone).
It is three days after Christmas and two days before New Year's. I've pretty much decided that no one should have to work during this time. The office is practically empty, I can't concentrate, and I've only really done about an hour of work today. Which (I know) is dreadful, but how can they expect me to work when no one is here? And when the holidays are still in full lazy mode? Plus, I can't really start my New Year's resolutions until New Year's Day. And that is still two days away. Luckily there is only one hour left until I get to go home.
Mr. Jones called earlier to ask where the yeast and the flour were. I'm not sure what he's making but I'm pretty excited about it. I'm also very excited about the Chicken Parmesan that I'm making for dinner. Basil, tomatoes, cheese, garlic, organic chicken--it really doesn't get much better. Tomorrow, I'll talk about the coming year, and what's in store (or at least, what might be).
