My iPod was set to shuffle. As I approached the final turn, my life song comes on. Making my way down the home stretch to a finish line 13.1 miles in the making, Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman" is ringing through my ears. I couldn't have planned it better. This must be right.

Hello, tuxedo-clad firemen & little blue boxes!

Unfinished

How do you move forward when the past is unresolved? Relegating to Future Rita left me "off the hook" temporarily. Too bad Future Rita is present-day Rita.

I want to tie up all the loose ends before I leave in 2 weeks. Here's hoping. Future Rita deserves a break.

Pre-Move "SHOPPING" List

hahahahaha... i'm laughing at myself as I think of things I want to buy for the move. it's exciting and it kinda feels like back-to-school shopping. wasn't back-to-school shopping so much fun?

i should probably be saving now that I'm back in rent mode... and with that, add all the start-up costs... but i think these are pretty reasonable. don't you?

- chains for my car
- SLR camera to catch the beauty of gold country & yosemite
- work clothes - jeans, long sleeved-shirts, bug spray (omg, so many bugs!)
- hiking shoes
- things to furnish a living room with (i only had to furnish my own bedroom when i moved to seattle)

it's probably a good thing that there aren't any bigbox stores in oakhurst/bass lake/north fork. Lord knows i can get into trouble...

i can't wait to move. =D

(re)create

I'm thinking of starting a new blog when I get to Yosemite. I need to start fresh. I don't want to think of it as starting over... but maybe just starting new.

i'm ready

25 years, 4 months, 8 days, 21 hours, 27 minutes, 26 seconds

and all that matters is this moment.

"Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Spread our wings before we fly away
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me"

wake me up

... when september ends?

... before you go-go?

... inside?

eh, all of the above.
