Do you ever look at pictures of yourself from when you were little and wonder how you ended up where you are today? I guess I keep thinking...what happened? I use to be this kid w/ a tri-cycle trying to keep up with my older siblings as we made our way to the "parking lot" about 2 blocks away from our house. To me, the "parking lot" was freedom and independence...as we would just around in circles on our bikes. Yeah, circles...that was it. Sometimes there was a gigantic puddle that made it a little more interesting as we splashed through it. I can't believe how many hours we would spend there...going around in circles.
And now that freedom/independence is real and not just a trip to the parking lot. Sure, I still owe my parents big time in the financial sense...but for the most part, I'm making my own decisions...when did I grow up?
Anyhow, to "update: Work is going well...the hours are still long...but there's nothing I can really do about it. Hindsight is 20/20 and if I had known that working these long hours would be a part of the deal, I know I would have made some different decisions. However, I made a commitment and I don't quit. I didn't take this job, for the job...but for the experience in a new city away from everything that I have basically ever known my entire life. I'm certainly experiencing something new...it just that my experience is really only my job. Every once and a while there's something else, but mainly it's the job. Oh well. It is not the best situation...but I'm trying to make the best out of the situation I'm in. If that makes sense. I guess the thing that bothers me is that I am usually involved with so many different things as I was in college...but now it's just the job. I don't really have time for much else...but I guess this year will help me figure out more about what I want "to do" in my life and trying to figure out who I become. I'm starting to get the "what are you doing next year" question more and more...so it is probably time to actually start something in that area...I just don't know right now and I'm trying to get through each day...but "next year" will show up soon.
In other thoughts: is anyone else perplexed by the fact that the new show "Friday Night Lights" is going to air on Tuesdays? Yeah, I am.

Not that we are doing it now, but can we just announce our baby's coming on your comment page? Would that be a legit way to let you know about it? =) Maybe that would get you back for using such a dark font on the black background...hello! we are all getting older with worse eyesight...throw us a bone here--use light colors on dark backgrounds! gee whiz...
Hmmm...I don't know what Robert is complaining about...I can read the font fine :) Oh..and a gift certificate to Abercrombie?!??! You are soooooo lucky!
Comment from Katie: I have to second Robert, dark font-dark background combo definitely a no-go. Yeah, that parking lot was something else, especially with the big puddle. Thanks for updating!
This is Robert (I can't believe I have to say that, since it's MY name on the postings...): I think Amy is lying to get on your good side Mitzi. Are you preparing your will or something? If so, then just let me say that I love your webpage!
Comment from Katie: Unless otherwise specified, the comments marked from Robert, are from Robert. That way I can post things to make Robert look dumb. Oh and I love the webpage too...
This is Amy (since I guess we all have to state our names now ;) I can't believe you have six comments on one blog entry...or I guess now it is seven. Oh, and I had better already be in your will...afterall, I shared an 8 x 10 foot space with you for 4 years! Miss you chica!
This is Rose's dad...
Congrats on being an aunt once again! Thanks for coming up--you're the best!! ...unless Liesel is reading this...oh no, Mitzi is still the best :)
