Oh yes this is the life

Update time for those seven people who read my blog- one of which most likely includes my amazing boyfriend- (update number one)!! More on that if you wish in person!

Also, I am happily and trying to be unapologetically unemployed. My two-ish years as a server have been ones of learning so much about myself and I have immense respect for those who are in that business.

Now I have all the time in the world to bum around. At least for another four weeks until I visit my beautiful cousin in Dallas and a friend in South Carolina. Myrtle Beach is a possibility and more bumming around. How can I handle all this free time? Drinking a myriad of beverages and popping through

my reading list so far:

Lectures to my Students - Charles H. Spurgeon
The Face on Your Plate- Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
The New Birth Order Book- Dr. Kevin Leman
They Speak with Other Tongues- John L. Sherrill
The Art of Friendship: 70 Simple Rules for Making Meaningful Connections- Roger Horchow
Their Eyes Were Watching God- Zora Neale Hurston

Any other suggestions?

I assume by "beautiful cousin" you meant me, not Jason. :) I am way cuter than he is.

Can't wait to have you!

If you want something a little more challenging (I know you're up for it!), read Humiliation of the Word, by Jacques Ellul. Of all his works, this one had the most influence on me. We've talked about it briefly before. Just don't become an Ellul junkie like I did.

And have some fun!

Wow, I haven't been on blogger for a while. I spent a month in Myrtle Beach right before I started working at the restaurant. That was also the last time I had more than 5 days off...that was almost 8 years ago. Myrtle Beach gets boring after about a week, way too tourist-y and strip mall-ish. My aunt and uncle lived two minutes away (walking time) from the ocean though. Now it's probably gonna have oil washing up from the Gulf of Mexico...

Maybe you should look for a job at a bookstore eventually. I dunno. You can't be unemployed forever, can you?
