"Doesn't know a Cab Sav from a Sangiovese but would really enjoy learning." Ummm...I have a job for you! :) And if you are interested in essential oils, I can hook you up there too. Sounds like the only thing you haven't tried is MLM, so c'mon...let's give it a shot! LOL
ReplyDeleteMy boys have "popped a squat" in some of our friends & families back yards too. Don't feel bad. It's a boy thing. In fact, Micah once did that on the Dillon's back patio. No, that's not all I got out of your post. Mike can come cook for us, but I can only pay him in brownies.
ReplyDeleteWhat the dickens is MLM? Is that like LSD? My gracious, Kelly, you know I'd never indulge. Now a little JBJ? Oh but of course.
ReplyDeleteSilly goose...it's just multi-level marketing (I just didn't see it on your amazing lists of qualifications)! I'd never ask you to do anything I wouldn't do! (hee hee!) You're adorable.
ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly both are not without skills and experiences! There should be something just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteBTW, if you'd like to see what EOU could do for a degree, we'd be happy to take a look at that 4 yrs worth of transcript. Eastern offers a variety of degrees, including Liberal Studies-- which is an individualized kind of degree usually made up by plugging 2 minors together... I'm thinking possibly a literature, writing, health &/or anth/soc combo?? [Bonus: Student loans could be a form a income to help sustain your family in the interim; and, you could complete your degree online from anywhere so in case Dad finds himself returning to school, you could still continue on.] We have an advisor in Ontario; so you wouldn't even have to come to La Grande. Just sayin'. (Email me if you want to know more.)
