Entry One

Over the past couple of months I've had dinner with friends, you know the kind where you haven't seen them for a while and it's time to catch them up on what they've missed in your life in the months (or years) it's been since you last saw them. I listened to them talk about what was going on in their lives but then realized that when I talked about my life I always talked about it in terms of what was happening to the people in my life.

Heather moved to the middle of nowhere and is teaching on the reservation.

Emily and Sean got married in September.

It's not that these aren't a part of my life. I helped Heather move to the middle of nowhere, so I can actually vouch for the fact that there's literally nothing around her. And I was the Maid of Honor in Emily and Sean's wedding so it's not like that had nothing to do with me, because it did occupy months of my life. And I'm certainly not complaining for the most part I love my life, I love my friends and my family and the craziness that their lives add to mine.

But this year I sat the roomies down and said that this year every month we are going to do at least one thing that is worth talking about. Which btw they are not taking as seriously as me (but then of course no one ever does) they want to count next month's moving as an adventure pssh. Moving is boring and stressful and yes you could talk about it for an extended amount or you can just invite people over and let them see what your moving venture was all about.

So whatever. This post is for me to just sit down and reflect on things that are noteworthy daily because really life just could not possibly be as boring as I make it out to be. It's exciting and stressful and frustrating because it's life.

So. With that being said I must start reflecting on what interesting thing happened to me today that was worth mentioning.

Actually, I'm going to back track because every time I try to make myself focus on today I keep thinking about the woman I talked to when I worked on New Years Eve day. We're talking and I'm doing my boring work stuff and out of the blue she asks for my date of birth. Most of the time when people ask me random personal questions I kind of laugh it off and try and dodge it or I lie (I can't tell you how many creepy old men I have told that I was married). But I gave it to her and all of sudden she's giving me a like psychic reading for 2010 and gah, I can't lie I love psychics. And no, I'm not going to spend a million dollars on one to do a reading over the phone or plan my life around them but I do like to hear what they have to say. So I went even a step further and wrote it down in my binder and shall share for posterity.

She said that 2o10 will have a big focus on Education and Travel. Which I thinks really awesome because dude, come on, I love traveling and I've been talking about going to back to school for months now. Years? Meh, pretty much since I dropped out of Culinary School. She also told me to listen to my Mom, which I try to do anyway but it's nice having someone tell me that I should still listen to my mom. She also said that either I'm going to need my mom a lot this year or she's going to need me so either way I'm really trying to just be present in my mom's life because really she's so amazing. I spend so much time listening to how craptastic my friend's moms are and I'm just seriously so thankful to the mom I was given. She also said that I would start to build foundations in 2011, which is so funny because when we saw Madam Bonnie in May she said the same thing that marriage and all that serious stuff wouldn't even begin to be important to me for like two years. I'm also really beginning to think that I really put a vibe out there that my dad wasn't a part of my life because she mentioned that too. Oy.

Hmm, so this post isn't turning out the way I want it to and I have the feeling that the blog will be less about interesting things that are worth talking about and will probably be me talking about things that maybe aren't. Oh well. It's fun nonetheless.
