Limbo

So I'm not really sure that I have a purpose right now.

I know that I am helping to support myself and my husband during his schooling.  There are a little more than two years left in this Cincinnati-adventure. I have a job that does not make me crazy, but it doesn't fulfill me like I'd like it to.  I enjoy the people I work with.

We are making ends meet financially (Kenneth is full time at CCM with a church choir directing gig on the side).  But not with any room for what our life used to include.  I am used to having my own money, eating out when I want, shopping for clothes when I need to, etc.  It seems kind of silly to complain about those luxuries, but I'm used to them.


I don't really know anyone in town, other than the people I work with and Kenneth's fellow students (who are a little too into themselves/college to be friends with me.)  We're trying to fix that by hanging out with a couple here and there. Friday we went out to an Indian place "New Krishna" on Lebanon.  It was REALLY good food and excellent company. I hope they want to hang again soon. :)

So back to the whole goal in life thing.. I've become kind of sedentary. I go to work for sometimes 11 hour days and sit at a desk, staring into a computer screen.  I come home and sit around, and eventually stare at a computer screen some more. Don't get me wrong, I like WOW and all.  But it's become kind of a focus and I don't like that. Sooooooooo....... I want to join a gym.

I don't hate how I look and I think I'm pretty. But I could be prettier! And healthier! It's only going to get harder to lose weight down the road, so why not now? I have the spare time, and I think I can con my mom into getting the membership for me as my birthday present! (We couldn't afford it otherwise) So.. as for a goal. I want it to be specific and measurable. Not sure what it will be yet.  I don't like the idea of weighing in and letting the world know how I'm doing - but that is definitely measurable.

We'll see.

UPDATE on Charlie Sheen's #Tigerblood Internship process: I got an email notifying me that they received my round 2 application. #Winning

#Winning?

Is Charlie Sheen crazy? Or is it the rest of us?

I'm not sure.  But being outrageous is not necessarily the same thing as crazy, and it shouldn't be treated the same way.  He seems intense, but repeatedly passes drug tests. (Repeatedly.)  If this is a manic period of bi-polarity, wouldn't it have manifested way earlier in his life?

Idunno. I'm not a doctor, but I do recognize when someone is REALLY into what they're doing.  And he's it man. He takes it to crazytown, but it must be pretty cool there. I hear they leave their Christmas lights up all year.

Charlie seems to really be handling it well.  He's selling out shows, hitting up twitter (with an amazing following), and doing his own confusing show on Ustream.  He recently put up a twitter about getting a "Social Media" intern for the summer and I applied.  The first application was 75 words or less. :) Easy enough. I got to the second round. Got to put links to my "social media" pages, and included this one - making it readable by everyone from here on out. I'm probably not THE most qualified person for the job. But I'd be pretty damn enthusiastic and do a good job. Realistically, it probably won't happen.

But damn, WHAT IF IT DID?


Sidenote: I should mention Japan. I've been there, I've seen the sights. It's awful what's going on.  The US feels for you guys. I'm glued to the news.  Good thoughts your way.
