Like every other person I know, I woke up not wanting to get out of bed today.  In part, because my cold had not yet improved (you know those things are always at their worst in the morning) and in part because I just didn't wanna!  Waaaah! :-(  Nonetheless, I did what I had to do and dragged myself out of bed and cursed the name of all of those on my Facebook feed who were proudly proclaiming that they were glad to be back at whatever they were doing.  Oh, yah, and the ones who went out on their runs today -- I curse you too.

Speaking of short-lived New Years Resolutions and my general crankiness today, I am in the middle of (read: optimistically stating 1/7th of the way through) my very first cleanse.  I have always wanted to do one of those but I always (shockingly) talk myself out of it.  One thing I didn't mention in my prior posts is that I got a new computer for Christmas, which is part of what is facilitating the frequent blogging in 2013 (a gift to me, yet a gift to the world).  This development has also led me into frequent Pinterest-ing, which brings me to the Pinterest cleanse.  So here it is.... And it came with this picture which I'm pretty sure means we will be in visible-ab-land in about six days....

Anyway, today was the first day of my cleanse and I was only allowed to eat fruit... and required to drink 10 glasses of water.  I actually really love fruit but I have to say... I am hungry.  The days do seem to improve (tomorrow I get to have a baked potato for breakfast), so fear not, it is not a starvation diet - and the website claims I will not only be 10-17 pounds lighter in seven days, but, more importantly, I will feel detoxified, energetic, and overall have a better disposition.  I'll let you know... but as for now... I'm HUNGRY.

The other big news for the day is that I had a phone interview for a part-time teaching position that I am pretty pumped about.  As I sort of implied in my prior blogs, I have been considering some shifts in my career and one thing I realized I really enjoy is teaching.  I will probably blog more about how I came to this decision at another time, but it is something I never considered earlier in life but am pretty passionate about now.  Earlier in 2012 I got my teaching certificate in Florida (for 9-12 Social Studies) but have had a hard time figuring out how to make a transition.  My friend Carrie (also a Second-Acter), helped me through it quite a bit and is still mentoring me now.  Anyway, I was terribly nervous about the interview because there were tons of those "tell me about a time when..." questions that you really don't have to do in the legal wor
