When my son was two years old, my husband left. I was a stay- at-home mom at the time and had to find a job – fast. So, while sending out résumés, I also signed up for the temporary agency at a local university. I was placed in a pre-college outreach program through the biology department. My degrees were in political science and world literatures, so I didn’t expect a permanent job match. I was 34 and hadn’t had biology since tenth grade!

I have been staring at a blank canvas, er, word document for days now thinking to myself, I really need to post something new for the Pinkies to read about how my travels are going. I gave myself 15 minutes to write this post so I couldn’t procrastinate and finish later. Here is what I a came up with.
