Compass

WOW, it's been a while. Time to get back in the blogging game. I know everyone is dying to hear the exciting details of my life.

big news: I'm now out on my own! I've recently moved into my own apartment. I. am. loving. it. My girlish obsession with buying clothes has [slightly] diminished and I have moved on to buying things to deck out my crib. Which is a hobby my wallet does not enjoy. I however, am enjoying making my place feel like my own. The other day I was bored, so I went to Walmart and bought paint, paint brushes, and a giant roll of paper. Cheap entertainment and wall decor.

Random tidbits in everyday life I've experienced recently:
- I saw man walking down Jefferson the other day with a giant, rolling suitcase. And he did not look homeless.
- 15 minutes ago, I had a conversation with the gentleman sitting next to me at Starbucks. He noticed my mac and started talking to me about Apple products and his favorite operating systems for said products. I did not follow a single word. He is easily 65. I feel pathetic. I bet he doesn't have a Twitter though.
- When one does not have internet at one's apartment, one realizes there is more to life than pinterest. But not much.
- 2 cups of coffee every morning is either too much or not enough. Depends on the day.

Ok, for cereal now.
Being out on my own, I have tons of time to myself to do lots of thinking, which is a dangerous thing, if you know me.
Recently, God and I have been playing waiting game. I keep waiting for the next big thing in life to come my way. I want to travel the world, do crazy things, meet new people, try new things, find the perfect man and start a family, etc. No big deal. But instead I wake up every morning at 6:36am, drink my coffee, go to work and sit at a desk for 8 hours, come home, eat, go to bed. Repeat. My idea of living it up is going to Goodwill or Starbucks when I have nothing to do. My life is nothing if not monotonous (which is another reason I don't update this blog very often). There are days when I seriously consider going to the airport, going up to the grumpy people at the baggage check and ask for a ticket. And when they ask where to, I will just say, "Surprise me!".
I want a reason to update this blog everyday.
So, here's to waking up every morning at 6:36am and choosing to rejoice in Jesus.
Here I am, God. I'm ready. I've been ready.

keep it real, kids.
