The creation of this blog was not just because I could, but it was also because I felt motivated for future events: FertKiki potentially has a real job!!! He hasn't made an announcement on his blog, so I decided to break the news on mine. I guess that makes me the Fox News of 2010. (also, this just in, Glenn Beck is a giant fairy and Michelle Bachman is a big ol' Lesbo...now I've lost my cred faster than CBS). Ok...that's out of my system now, and we're back to the status quo. Hopefully.
Apparently there is a position at Sandia National Lab that is a perfect fit for FertKiki. Even the people in Sandia think so to!! The only problem? Sandia National Lab is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he first informed me, I spent 3 days doing nothing but research on New Mexico. Instead of doing any work I needed to do for school (both the one I teach, and the one I attend). Did you know that Albuquerque has average highs only about five degrees higher than in NoVA. They also have lows five degrees lower on average. Turns out, Albuquerque is over a mile above sea level. But it has like 1/2 percent humidity. GOODBYE ALLERGIES!!!!
Why do I bring all this up right now? Because I need to be finishing creating lessons for Monday and Tuesday, writing a test for Wednesday, and working on my work sample for LHU (which was due a few weeks ago). What am I doing instead? Researching gardening in New Mexico. Today I've learned the difference between landscaping, xerascaping, and zero-scaping, and put actual thought into what I would like to use on my property. There are a few problems with this line of thinking.
- We live in a rented duplex.
- FertKiki doesn't even HAVE the job yet.
- He doesn't graduate until December.
- We will not be owning a home for at least a year (despite having real money and low-cost of living)

Another pro for Albuquerque - I was born there! Spent the first 4 years of my life there, which is obviously why I turned out to be such an awesome, witty person!
Con - if you have kids while living there, they will never be able to spell their Birth Place w/o the help of spell check. Which really sucks when filling out official forms by hand.
