The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live in that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it,under its roof(barbara kingsolver)... this is the journey of defining my hopes and living them to the fullest...and all the random junk along the way.

Oh how time DRAGS by....

OH MY GOSH!!! I have about one week and 2 days until I leave for vacation!!!!!!!!! I haven't been on vacation in ...oh...probably 4 years! I'd say I'm a little overdue! And now its a little over a week away and it feels like time is DRAGGING by!!!!!!! It feels like being a kid waiting to go to Disney World! I am totally excited but I also have a ton to do to get ready! Why can't someone do that part for me?...my mom used to pack for vacation now its up to me...ugh...oh the perils of being an adult!

Speaking of time dragging by... the past couple of nights at work (i work in an intensive care unit, for those of you who may be new to me)...have been UNBELIEVABLY slow! I have been BORED out of my mind! I have had time to master the game of sudoku...For those of you who do know me...I cannot STAND to sit on my laurels and do nothing... so i find myself in a quandry... do i just make peace with my boredom or do i wish for something more to do? Wishing for more to do = someone is really sick and getting worse...hmmm (with much disdain) boredom it is!

my first blog :)

ok so i've wanted to try this whole "blogging" thing for a while...seems like "everybody's doing it". And as a loyal fan of the band wagon... here i am. i can guarantee that this will probably offer no insite or wsdom into the true meaning of life but...maybe you'll just get a kick out of getting a little glimpse into my "inner most thoughts" or the random junk that makes me a true dork ;). so here goes nothing...

Random thought 1:

I don't know random facts about myself. I mean I do but I can't seem to recall them spontaneously. Here's what I mean: lately, I've been online a lot, you know, myspace, blogspot, etc. and in doing so I've been asked to fill out a lot of surveys containing random "about me" questions. And what I've discovered is that I don't have a list of "favorites" on tap and ready to dispense in order to define who I am. I don't know all my favorite movies, or books, or music, or my favorite food, my ideal date...is this weird? Does everybody else know these things about themselves at any given moment? Now, I do know the deeper things about me... like where my insecurities come from, how i feel about homosexuality and the church, is drinking right or wrong...you know things like that ...but ask me about whether I prefer sweet or salty and I'll have to get back to you on that. Maybe I need to make a list. I guess I should know the surface level stuff about myself too...right? I'm sure in the grand scheme of things this doesn't matter... just something i noticed. Stay tuned... more to come!
