how can i ask/want others to update their journals if i don't update mine?
here it is:
1. i am working my ass off, but it doesn't seem to be getting any smaller.
2. i am now working with both foster care families and international adoption families. and loving that.
3. i am working WAY too much. i may be a workaholic.
4. i am excrutiatingly happy that the snow is ENTIRELY gone and we are having the weirdest winter weather ever. i was outside this afternoon clearing brush, wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, and it was 50 degrees. in january, in maine. very odd, but most welcome.
5. i got talked into taking a scrapbooking class this sunday. why? i have no idea. i hate crafts. but my co-workers insisted. watch me wield scissors--yay!
6. i told off a certain dumbass blonde in massachusetts again. i can't seem to help myself. i went in, blew up, blasted her for her "ghetto-rhetoric" (she didn't understand the phrase), and walked. again. hate her. a lot. always will. probably won't get over it. i'm living with that. i think it's okay to live with some hatred and spite in your life.
7. i am developing a plan. it will unfold in phases. first phase: buy/build a house (still deciding).
8. i miss reading erin's journal. i am concerned about her, but know she is strong.
9. i miss angela. i have been very distant over the past three or four months, for which i apologize. our paths took very distinct turns away from each other, but i hope that changes in the future. it will ultimately be alright regardless.
10. i miss my lovely friend cathryn, who is attempting to overcome pneumonia.
11. i have done absolutely NO creative writing, a little bit of reading, lots of investigating for my next travel destination, and have not watched one damned foreign film yet this winter, which is ALWAYS a winter activity for me. but if i get to go outside in 50 degree weather in the middle of january without snow on the ground, i'll take it.
12. i have banned myself from message boards. i cannot be trusted on them.
13. i may or may not write in this journal again. probably will. i'm narcissistic.
14. i still love my job to itty-bitty pieces.
15. i want to start a morning walking program with my best friend, cathi. we talked about this several weeks ago. nothing's happened with it yet.
16. i am considering taking a spanish class.
17. i am waiting for justin to make a comment in this journal, but he probably won't. ;)
18. there are no romantic relationships on my horizon that i can see, although i am falling in love with a variety of other things at the moment.
19. i like spending time every other week carting my two elderly grandmothers around to do their grocery shopping. it's given me a new sense of the meaning of family.
20. i still have to paint my bathroom.
