I have been speaking with someone who might hire me to do some contract work on an on-going basis. It will pay $25/hr, and I’d basically be creating book layouts in Adobe InDesign for offset printing, or digital print-on-demand. The pay isn’t that great as far as contract work goes, but a few of my friends work full-time for a publishing company doing book layouts, and they only make $12-14/hr. Plus, I’m just getting started. Fingers crossed that I get the job!
Last night, I made Texas chicken pizza for dinner. There’s just something about rolling out my own pizza crust that is just so satisfying. I’d much rather spend the time to make my own pizza than get one delivered. It’s not only healthier when I make it at home, but it’s also a lot cheaper.
Today, the BF is going fly fishing while I’m here at work. Hopefully he’ll land a nice fish for us to eat for dinner. We used go to every lake imaginable to fly fish last summer, but I still haven’t bought my fishing license for the year, and I’m not sure if I’m going to. Both the fresh water and salt water licenses aren’t that expensive, and I have all my own gear, but it’s the gas that’s the killer. We love going exploring into the logging roads, and reaching remote fishing/camping locations … but after we buy food, and spend the money on gas, it can get pretty expensive. I’ll leave the fishing to the BF if it means it’ll save me a few hundred dollars in gas this summer.
