Marching On

So, what's happening in my life? A million things.

I've been "on duty" all weekend, which is a bummer but also a necessity of my job. I find out if I got that promotion later this week. I hope I do just because it would be one of the greatest things that ever happened to me and would really help me be set for the future. I'd actually be able to save some money instead of living paycheck to paycheck which is really difficult.

Want to know what would be really great about it? I'd get a free apartment, complete with utilities paid and a kitchen! I'll be able to indulge my love of cooking and could actually host mini-dinner parties. It's pathetic that I sound so much like a domestic, but really I'm not. I just want to be able to cook for myself instead of living out of my microwave, which I have actually been pretty innovative with.

Eventually I will live in an apartment that will be the hippiest thing ever surely to make my 60's loving mother very proud. Now she's the one who has turned domestic. Married life turned her into someone who cares what other people think about the way she dresses and thinks and conformed her enough to wear bras. Growing up in a small town in California I don't think I wore clothes until I was almost 6 and I don't ever remember my mother wearing a bra Oh, the hilarity.

Oh well. I'll just have to be happy with my hippie dorm room and try to build my collection of Indian tapestries and African masks, complete with Japanese dinnerware and English tea sets. Maybe I'm not so much hippie as I am worldly.

Minus my heart affairs, I am happy with my life and slightly more confident with myself than I was last year at this time. I guess that's all you can hope for. Minor improvements.
