exit up ahead

it's about having an exit strategy, or two, or three.
if you've ever had one of those jobs that sucks the life out you and gives nothing back, you know what I mean. without an exit strategy things can feel pretty hopeless. with a clear vision for the future that does not involve your current job you can tolerate substantially more junk.

my main exit strategy involved going back to school, 20 years later, and becoming a teacher. i'm happy to report that that is going better than i ever could have expected. June 2011, and i'll have my degree and my certification.

now i also have a few minor exit strategies. they won't likely result in a full time career, but they may allow me to break free a little earlier than i'd hoped. i am officially baking for fun AND profit.

Sweet Sweet Broccoli * Home Made Sweets is open for business!

in the next few weeks i'll be posting a menu of available treats for parties, celebrations, or just to treat yourself! we'll be starting out with cupcakes and bars, maybe a few cookies, and see where we go from there. Nuno and Ed have promised to keep me in business themselves!

so promise to come back, and i promise to post more than once every six months. really, i do.
