Life Or Something Like It

It is a great movie - I would recommend it, but I don't think this has anything to do with that movie . . . other than maybe I feel like watching it RIGHT NOW, now that I said the title.

I am off to work today and then off to go camping. It has been years and years, and then a few more since I have gone camping. I have been a total of 2 times in my life. My mom wasn't into camping so I never went growing up. I think camping seems right up my alley - go out where there are not a ton of people, get lost for a few days, no phone, email, expectations. I'm not saying that tonight and tomorrow (and hopefully Sunday . . . keep your fingers crossed that I can stay) is going to change my life, but I am hoping it gives me a break from the last few months of my life. A time to unwind and be immersed in something simpler, around people who make things seem simpler. Maybe the simplicity will loosen the knot of my thoughts and help me to see more clearly.

Happy Aniversary

I have now lived in St. Louis 4 years. FOUR YEARS! Moved May 29, started work June 1. Made many different moves since, homes and jobs, but one thing stayed the same - St. Louis. I was thinking about it the other day and I can't think of a place I would rather live, a place that I would rather be. There are a lot of things I want from St. Louis, and only time will tell if it will actually give it to me - I hope it does. In some ways St. Louis has let me down, but isn't that the case with everything?

I haven't written here in awhile. I have 5 drafts saved needing work, so watch out. One day you might visit only to find the site blew up all over you.
