too bored to think
hey

so i feel like being artistic but can't think of anything to say or draw or do. i want to travel and get some real inspiration. around the world, around the country. i'm just sick of the people i live around. the west sound is so boring. there are a few teenagers who are a little punkified, a little rebelious in the afternoon, but not many. i assume they wait to come out at night.

everyone else is pretty commercial. boring.

so, we move into our house this week. we may be getting the keys as early as Tuesday! Crazy huh? Jon is super stressed out and really pissing me off. he thinks that moving is going to be hard and that we're stretching our budget and he got mad at me for taking my cousin, Jessica, out to lunch. . . but it was ok for him to eat at McDonalds. . . and he doesn't even have to really work for a while because the boat is gone with the other crew. so every tues and thurs he has to go to the OCAB building and check in and he doesn't even have to be in uniform. they just want to know that he's around incase hell break loose or something.

and next week i work 5:30 am to 11:30 am. . . then go back to 4-7. So, I get an extra hour and a half off each day. thank god. but bev's not working with me tomorrow morning and that bums me out. i really like Bev and we make a good team. she's been at the Sun for 25+ years and has even been customer service manager before so she knows all the ins and outs.

and we are highly competitive with each other. but i'm still in the lead for the grill. everytime we get a donation or sell a vacation pack we wave it in each others faces. it's all good fun and our sales have sky rocketed because of it.

but she got called for jury duty and so has to attend jury selection tomorrow. i hope she doesn't have to be on a jury. my days are going to be 10 times worse without her. nobody else is as fun at 5:30 am!

anyway. i bet y'all are having the time of your life reading this post.

places i want to go: China, Kenya, France, Spain, Chile, Belize (again), Mexico (west coast), Somewhere in Australia - but that place is pretty big so I'm not sure where exactly, India, Victoria (which might happen in two weeks), Egypt.

and eventually, i think i want to live somewhere other than here. if everything works out well, once jon's service is up, we may be living in the Dominican Republic for a while. . . if everything doesn't quite work out. . . we'll probably build a house in the middle of Minnesota and get some country life in my bones.

i'll get me a cowboy hat and a truck named Bertha.

and Ashlee Simpson drives me nuts. i'm so sick of the previews of her show on mtv showing her whining, "poor me, poor me." and i really don't think she'd have a record deal if it weren't for her sister being so talented. i think she has a better style and overall appearance, but the sound bits i've heard of her singing. . . man. let's hope she never meets simon cowell.

beth, i read your graduation card to daniel tonight while he was packing up his stuff, and i had forgotten how insane neat and beautiful and awesome your handwriting is. and i marvelled, once again, over that gorgeous scratchboard that you did that remains at your father's house. i thought i'd mention my admiration and awe. oh, and the picture of you and danny under a christmas tree (i think) when you were about 2 years old...is the most adorable thing ever. i want a picture of my kids like that, sometime in the future.
