I'm sitting here, watching the humming birds and trying to decide what to write. Gina thinks I should do a post about deciding there is nothing in Europe I can't get here in S. California, or a Jane Austen perspective on a personality trait such as stubbornness, but neither of of them seems to hold too much fascination to me. I want to post something interesting though, as it has been awhile since I posted, as Dana has been kind enough to point out (HI DANA! Have fun procrastinating at work!), but I can't seem to think of anything off the top of my head. I'll keep pondering and hopefully my next post will be more interesting, this is more just one to say "I'm still posting!" for the moment, and a generic summary of highlights of the last couple weeks.
I've spent most my time these last two weeks reading and playing Angry Birds, which I have officially defeated. Sadly. I think that means I spend too much time playing on my ipod. My other humorous anecdote is how I managed to get a pedicure. I spent an afternoon outside with my aunt Meridith and her kids and took the opportunity in the sun to paint my toenails. The next day Meridith said she had booked me a pedicure, because she had never seen anyone paint so much of their skin before...I claim I just wasn't being careful because I was going to be in the pool shortly, and therefore it would all just wear off...kinda...ok, so maybe I just really suck at painting my nails. Still, it makes a good story, and my nails now look fabulous. My whole family informed me that it was a huge difference from when I tried to do it myself. Not a glowing recommendation if I ever wanted to go work in a nail salon. Good thing that's not on my career list.
I also hadn't realized how much I've come to depend on my wireless internet. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to check my ipod to realize I can't. So frustrating really. I keep thinking to myself that Starbucks is only a couple miles down the road, I could easily walk that. But it seems silly to do that just for the internet. They do have some here, you just have to be on the desktop to use it. Such a strange concept in this day and age. I'm half tempted to go buy a wireless router and just hook it up one afternoon. I may yet.
Trying to decide what to do with my next stage of life too after this. Do I want to go back to school? And if so, what will I study, where will I go? I'm leaning towards a business of music degree, but I still have no idea what I will do with it. I'm also leaning towards being a homeless vagabond again. It was quite an enjoyable way of life, though I don't know that my bank account will let me keep it up to much longer. Maybe I'll work for awhile, and then disappear for the summer. I'm thinking about putting an air mattress in the back of my car, and just tootling around seeing the sights. But I have time left to think. I'm going to be hovering down south here for awhile I think. At least it's warm and sunny here!
