I'm in shock!

Well, this isn't exactly a guest post but in some ways I'm going to feel like a guest for a little while because I'm about to get thrown into some new experiences!

I just got offered a job at the London Public Library this morning and I'm starting June 1st!  Which means after a year and a half my VISTA service is finally coming to an end.  Which is both relieving (in that I'm going to get a job that pays above minimum wage) and so sad in that I have a feeling the 45 minute commute is going to cause me to leave Wilmington and leave all of this work that I've spent all of this time doing.  

I mean let's look at what I've accomplished both personally and professionally in the past year: 
Coordinated a Culinary Job Training Class
Fed hundreds of people at Sugartree Ministries
Found a family here in Wilmington, OH
Assisted in the creation of a Hunger Walk that is slated to become an annual event here in Clinton County.
Ate my 1st Banana Split.  
Adopted a pet
Started a new 101 things in 1001 days.  
FINALLY, started dating the love of my life.
Met some great friends, acquaintances, maybe some enemies, and everything in between, etc.
and the last thing (but certainly not least thing) that I will list (but this list is of course not exhaustive) is come to grips with both my past abusive experiences and my depression and really take some serious steps towards healing.  


So wow.  Let's see what this new experience does for us!


P.S. Over 1/2 way done with the blog-a-thon!

Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting is exactly what is sounds like: composting with vermis, which is the Latin for worms.   I first became acquainted with vermicomposting when I started at Grow Food, Grow Hope in November 2009.  One of my coworkers was attempting to vermicompost in a container he kept in his desk and usually the 1st thing he said to you after "hello" was "want to see my worms?"  However, the worms jumped ship, were all over the office, and then were banned permanently.   Since that day I had a small adventure into composting with worms.  In my ignorance in the nature of compost I assumed that worms were always necessary for compost and therefore dug up worms from the backyard to add to my porch compost bin (an 18-gallon Rubbermaid tub I drilled holes in and added my food scraps to).  These worms of course were never seen again as they were cooked in my compost bin.   And then the research began.    Now tha...

FINALLY

After more time than I ever intended on dedicated to creating the list, blog, and ticker that has accompanied this 101 in 1001 I am finally finished. As you have seen, the bolded items are the categories, and the items that are NOT pink (in this case I believe we'll let them all be purple, because its a nice match, are the items that are finished. Today's one and only item (and the motivation for FINALLY getting this up) is Emma, a great book. I watched the movie with Megan before leaving for France so I knew what was going to happen. Now I'm sitting here dreaming of my own Mr. Knightley, but where I will find him I have no idea. Let me know if you find any men as perfect, graceful, handsome, and amazing as Mr. Knightley for me.
