more to read and see, and then to settle down

everywhere i look i have a book waiting to read. i say this because on my desk right now at work i have a pile of 6 that i need to delve into for my own personal education and at home i have a box of 15 that i am steadily chipping away at. as haynes pointed out while we were home for thanksgiving, it is nice to have the internet and the website goodreads that james mitchell sent to us to keep books "on the shelf" virtually.

i just created the first rough itinerary of haynes' and i's trip around north america. it is more or less a way to figure out what directions and zig-zags we will take and not a schedule of our time. haynes has some "must-sees" and i have some as well. then there are friends - todd, kirsten, ryan, to name a few - around that we want to visit. we will have 2 months but from the initial plan, we might have to extend it. and we will most likely make the trip down for ginny branch's wedding into a trip as well. so look forward to us adding and taking from your refrigerator soon.

i have applied for some jobs, or am at least planning on applying. the only prerequisites i have are that the job be working with people and not all day in an office and that i am in a place where people will visit me. i can't wait to move to a big or small, definitely walkable and rideable city or town where i can find people and places that wave at each other and welcome you in. i also can't wait to find a place where i can have my own space and decorate it and have a lot of bookshelves and a desk and a comfortable couch.
