A sparkling residence is never really necessary. It`s got to look lived in. Dude James, I`ve been living the same exact way. haha

I doubt in your job description it also says diagnostic mechanic. These are fleet vehicles that should be maintained by a fleet mechanic, not by the individuals driving them. With that disclaimer, the more you're out, the more likely you are to get stuck, so is two times in a summer sub-par? I think it's not that bad. As far as the frame being fractured, I'm 99% sure that is something you would have felt if you did it. I felt it when I broke my suspension, my friend felt it when his frame cracked above his rear axle, anything like that you could feel, so it's likely something that you didn't do. It's good you see the importance in discipline, but you also have to know where the line is between what is your responsibility and what isn't. Good luck with the rest of the summer rocking it, your discipline in the Word will lead you to being proper in everything else. Joe Andrew,

She may not have been able to speak or really be aware of anything but I choose to believe she felt our presence there and that brought her some peace. I'm very proud of you for being so strong during that time as I know how hard it was for you. I know (and I hope you do too) how very proud she was of you and how much she loved you!!

I have also been having a hard time balancing work and free time. I think our generation struggles with it in particular because we often seek jobs where our co-workers are also friends. It's excellent to work with people you like, but at the same your world becomes so much more insular (as you describe). I think other activities are important, not just because they expand your skills, but also because a new network of people can complement different sides of you. Much love from SA, Emily Ryan!

Cooking and baking is the best. It's relaxing while you do it, plus the leftovers come in handy for those nights you feel you're just too damn busy to eat. Cooking. Cooking and baking is the best.

]]> Comment on What’s My Age Again? by JPS http://hashtaglife.com/whats-my-age-again#comment-48 JPS Mon, 28 Mar 2011 01:25:50 +0000 http://hashtaglife.com/?p=380#comment-48 To me, the order matters. I've got a real job and a place of my own and I've moved off and away, but I still feel like I've not gotten somewhere. Mostly, it's because I'm not living in the same city as Jean, and I don't think I can REALLY be on my way to being an adult until that is happening. We are working on our plans to make it happen after she finishes grad school, but having a real job and having to move halfway across the country from the only person you feel like you have to live near really makes the job less glamorous. But then, I suppose that all depends on a person's priorities. To me, the order matters.
