...are running through my head lately. Some of the most important are as follows:
* I am sick and tired of running, but determined to follow through with the half marathon. Maybe my motivation will make an uphill turn once I pay the entrance fee this Friday (pay-day!). Money is a great motivator for anything.
* I am ready for Adam to secure a job, and everyday that passes without an interview or job offer, I'm freaking out. We've pretty much planned the next 5 years of our lives based on the fact he can/will get a job here in Lincoln. I shouldn't be freaking out this early in the job opening season...but I can't help it, it's in my nature. So, any good vibes you guys can send his way for a job this next school year would be greatly appreciated!
* I'm tired of being called a socialist because I supported Barack Obama during the election season. Yes, I like a lot of his ideas, and yes, maybe some of those ideas involve the government a bit more than some people are comfortable with...but does that mean I believe in the ideal socialist government...Nope. There is so much crap going on right now, and I'm tried of being attacked, and told how I feel about all this crap. If you don't care enough about my opinions to ask me about them...than you clearly don't know enough about me to consider me a socialist! It's funny how that word has become such a negative word in today's society. Huh
* I'm stressing with work training, but very excited to be able to put it on future resumes. It should work out well in my future...when I finally decide what I want to do with my life. Which leads into...
* I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I do know I'm extremely happy where I am, and I really enjoy the work I do. I'd be happy here for a long time. However, I do know at some point, I'm going to need to get out of my comfort zone, and strive for more than what I am here!
* Adam and I have talked a lot about having babies. I've also talked a lot to co-workers (both male and female) about pros and cons of having a family. I'm torn. One of the main reasons I am torn is because I know myself enough to know I would not be able to give up my job if/when we have kids. However, I also know myself enough to know I would feel extremely guilty sending my child off to a daycare so that I could continue on with my career. That seems like I would be a bit too selfish...and isn't the point of having children that you are ready to no longer be selfish? So...I'm really torn. I guess time will tell.
* Going to D.C. to visit Krissy next week. Looking forward to it in so many ways. I'm excited to see her life there, and honestly, to look around the area and see if its something I'd be interested in joining (the D.C. life that is). I've thought about moving to DC for some time...and honestly, if Adam does not get a job (see prior thoughts), I think I may start applying for jobs away from good 'ol Nebraska. We shall see... In the meantime, we're gonna tourist the hell out of Washington D.C., and take our happy little gnome with us and document it all. Pictures to come! :)
I think that about sums up my life lately. Same old I suppose.
