Well since I haven't updated this thing in a while, maybe it's time to do so. Those of you who know me best know that I'm striving to build a simple life for myself. I want a fulfilling job, a small house, someone to love, and a big dog to take on walks around the park during lazy afternoons or early summer mornings. I don't need extravagance or decadence. My favorite weekend activity is laying on the couch in front of the TV (Food Network, of course)in my robe with a mug of hot coffee letting myself slip into a mild, relaxing coma. I try not to get caught up in things that don't matter, because let's face it, most of the things we let bother us just aren't that important. I feel that though my life isn't perfect, I'm blessed with friends and family who love me, and I know that's all I really need to have a full existence. If I had my way, I would spend my days on a poofy couch surrounded by piles of books and slowly read through them one by one. That might not work out so well though, since I'm a slow reader and would frequently have to pull myself off the couch to eat or pee. But it's worth a shot! I often find myself writing bits and pieces of my thoughts down, usually without any real end to them, just to get them out of my head so I can think about something else. That is all for now. :D
