(no subject)
So this weekend while thinking in the shower (this happens on a regular basis), I finally had an epiphany regarding a decision I'd struggled with for quite some time. But all of a sudden there was enlightenment without societal guilt dripping into the picture. Mike's ecstatic to say the least... basically I've finally concluded that I want to be, as Shel nicely put it, "child-free." If God opts to step into that plan and make alterations, then so be it, but as it stands, I don't plan to have any of my own children and would rather not at this time raise any either.
So... in celebration I've begun to research what I want to purchase as my sexy new car! I'd originally intended to buy something like an Accord or even another Civic sedan for "just in case," but I'm done with that. I might splurge on a Nissan 350Z or something neat-o. This new sense of freedom is freaking awesome! It might seem that I'm coming across as rather superficial because now I want to splurge on a car, but I think my marriage will be a whole lot better off because of that decision anyway. And while I think we'd make fairly good parents, I just have no desire. I actually wouldn't mind being a surrogate mom because I'm very curious about the experience of pregnancy, but I have no desire to be responsible for the life afterward. I will merely enjoy living vicariously through all my friends who already have or want their own kids! Hooray!
