Like many in my field, I spent waaay too long in graduate school and spent another eternity scrambling to find a job. Lucky for me the state's payroll and benefits are enough to sustain life, at least at a minimum, in the capital city. As I'm now a mother, most of my time, effort, and money are focused on my daughter. Anything leftover gets poured into 1) bath products, 2) obscure early classical music CDs, 3) period costume reproductions (yeah, I know) and 4) you guessed it, books.
