On kitchen-witchery and other topics

For the longest time I've felt that if I'd have more time for making things, knitting things, baking things and tinkering around the house, my life would be perfect-er

oh i know what you mean.. i for one love the idea of becoming an architect working l and loving her job, but i look to my father (architect working crazy hours) thinking, do i really want this? i want a fair share of wandering around the house in pjs drinking tea and reading, sewing, baking, keeping a nice little garden with vegetables, kids, cats and even hens etc. but i love architecture, i don't want to do anything else. so i'm crossing fingers that there's some neat job out there that pays well, doesn't need me in at work from 9-7(like school more or less requires), but still is interesting and engaging enough. hm. one can dream.

well i'll cross my fingers for you if you cross yours for me.. maybe there's some way of figuring this out. :)

I´m crossing my fingers for you ladies as well as for myself... theatre is a jealous lover who takes up all the time and energy you can possibly muster up, and it´s exhausting as hell. Still, there´s nothing I´d rather do for work. And yet, more often than not I just don´t even want to hear of it, I just want to spend incredible amounts of time doing nothing, or just hanging out at the studio and doing whatever I please. That´s how art happens, not under pressure... ugh. Dilemma!!!

If you're ever in a chick lit mood, read Undomestic goddess by Sophie Kinsella. ;)

Haha, I read the Amazon synopsis and I can totally see that happening to me. Except the Finnish countryside doesn't exactly abound with manors, but still. Will keep an eye out for that when rooting through book bargain bins. :D
