#Randomblings: What to do, what to do

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquared

Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

#nowplaying - Go Diego Go (morning time = cartoon time)

My first Randombling!  Yay yippee skippee!  So…hi.  Here is what’s going on in my life.  I have three awesome kids (like young kids, the oldest is 3 and the youngest is 4 months).  My hubbard is amazing and supports me in whatever I want to do.  I have my Bachelors degree in Biology.  I am a professional photographer. 

The end.  The thing is, I have no idea what I want to do with my life past all this.  Should I go to grad school?  I would love to get my PhD in Ethology (animal behavior).  Should I go to pastry school?  I would love love love to open my own bakery.  Should I just keep working on building my photography business?  It is getting quite strong and I am just getting better each day.  Frick, I don’t effing know one bit what I want to do.  It is so hard to make decisions for yourself when you have kiddos.  If I decide to go to grad school it will have to wait until they are all in school, so at least five years.  Cause there is no way I will ever be able to afford daycare for three kids, that’s just nuts. 

So anyways, on to a more stable note…LOVE my life.  Thank you all for reading the little nuggets I have been posting for you.  I have been having so much fun doing it, and it is sooo super cathartic for me to be able to just let go, say what I want to say and move on.  Seriously, AMAZING.  I recommend you all get a blog, a diary, or something.  I always have all kinds of shit to talk and an opinion on something, and telling Brian (that’s the nombre del hubbard) just wasn’t cutting it.  So again, thank you Miss Jen for the opportunity, and thank you TNTML community and readers for welcoming me and being so super de duper swell. 

To conclude this new addition to my verbal outlet, here is a little nugget of information:  Hippos are one of my favorite animals.  I know, I know, they are the most dangerous animal in Africa, and some years they kill more people than crocodiles and snakes combined.  Whatevs.  They are magnificent.  The word hippopotamus historically means water horse.  They are so amazingly graceful underwater, like ballerinas.  They also have two sets of ears.  Rad, right?  One for above water, and one for underwater.  Which also means they have two languages.  They are also vegetarians.  Legend goes that the river god was going to ban hippos from the waters for eating up all the fish, so hippos became vegetarians, and began to poo out the leftover greens, which fed the fish, so they were allowed to stay.  BAM – dropped a knowledge bomb on your asses!
