I spent most of all day thinking about what I want to do "when I grow up" and I realized I don't want to teach. What I want to do is be a stay at home mom (one day) and do crafts and sell them to help make ends meet. This places Josh in the some-what stressful position of being the sole bread maker, but I think if I work hard enough I could become good enough to make money off of what I do. I'm thinking of working with glass. Making plates, vases, bowls, beads etc. I can make necklaces and stuff from the beads and homemade glass plates and shit always sell good. I'm going to talk to my dad about staying in school another semester so that I can get my liberal arts degree and seeing if I can get into some art classes or seeing if I can just take the 2 (ish) classes I need to take to get the degree, then instead of paying for another 2 years of college, maybe he could help me pay for health insurance and pay for some glassworking classes and a glass kiln. It would save him (to my best calculations) about two thousand dollars if I do this and it would make me very happy. Though I'm not sure how much health insurance costs. I'm going to talk to Josh as soon as I get a chance to see what he thinks, and talk to my dad on Wed to see what he thinks.

I'll be sad to stop taking classes, and I'm hoping to continue to take the classes that interest me, but only like 2 or 3 a year so I can afford to pay them on my own. I'd also like to take a glass blowing class but I'm not sure where they offer them in GR. Unfortunatly the one glassworking class I found that would teach me everything I would need to know to start this only meets on thursday nites, the hardest time for me to get off work, is in Lowel and costs about $150-$200. Kilns run from $100-$700. I'll work whatever jobs I can get until I start having children, and hone my craft until I get good enough to help with the bills. At Erin's suggestion I may also take a buisness 101 class so I understand the taxes and all the crap of selling my own merchandise, either take a class or buy a good book. I'll talk to Natalie about this too, maybe she's taken glass related classes and may be of some help. Natalie - do you read this at all?

I had another weird dream last night but I don't have the time to write about it.
