Bland Update

[create_destiny]

I haven't posted in a while. When I'm afraid, depressed or just flat-out uninspired I mostly keep my mouth shut and my typing fingers to myself.

Nevertheless, here's a random update on my life:

I quit coffee. I felt like shit for several weeks and decided I needed a change. These days I'm drinking green tea and I'm feeling better. Better but also weird. I really miss coffee though. The ups were fabulous, but the downs were hell. Plus, I'll probably save myself $50 per month. The boys at Dutch Bros. will miss my tips, I'm sure.

My boyfriend and I are moving into a two bedroom house. His 40 lb. Australian Cattle dog is sure to eat one of my cats. When that happens I can be contacted at the local Mental Health facility and my ex-boyfriend can be found in a van, down by the river.

I'm uncertain about the long-term future. Where I'll live, what to do about school and the job that sucks vital life-energy from my soul. Oh, yeah, and the boyfriend, too. Marriage scares me.

Congratulations on making a big decision to share your life with your boyfriend. Yes marriage is scary. However, you do not have to sell your soul to your soul mate. Being the strong woman you are, we are confident that you will maintain your identity, sense of humor and creativity. We would encourage you to get back in school. There is potential in education to get out of a job that blocks your vital life-energy. About the future, as you well know there are no guarantees in this world. So you just have to listen to your heart and based on your knowledge and experiences decide for yourself what is best for you. You know deep down in your soul that you need to continue writing your book of life. One page at a time. You can do it! We love you and leave you with the words of Paul Wellstone "the future belongs to the passionate". Continue your passion for all living things & do not despair because the alternative is to become a Republican and that would break our heart! Mom

At work yesterday we had a meeting with out new supervisor. Part of her getting-to-know you thing was to have everybody fill out a little survey that we then shared with the group. One of the questions was something like "What important thing have you learned in life?" and my response was "You mom is usually right." Heh.

I mention this because I agree with your mother here. I think you should go back to school also. I think the job you want is going to require a degree.

I am not sure what part of being married to me would scare you. I know you said you were afraid of a boring hum drum life but... everybody has to pay their bills, unless you want to become a Bonnie & Clyde type of couple. We can drive around the country robbing Starbucks and Jamba Juices.
