I should have realized the path life would take me on while I was in college instead of wishing I was doing something else now that I'm out. But I've always been quick to make decisions when I know the results will be immediate - and, of course, when the results will be to my advantage ... temporarily.

I'm sliding down the snowy hill of Christmas eve, and at the bottom -- 5 and a half hours away -- is Christmas day. Wee.

I chatted with my mommy again today, as usual, but there was something about this conversation that really got the tears streaming for me.

We started talking about the Christmas memories that we ( Read more... )

I LOOOOOOOOVE that song "Milkshake" by Kelis. It's getting old, but who cares! It sums up my mission so completely.
