How I did it
It made me
independent 
How I did it: I drove by myself, first to California to visit my friend Natalie, and then on the way back to Texas I stopped in New Mexico to stay with my aunt for a few days :) I'm too lame to really sum up how amazingly cool the entire trip was, but it was I tell you. Pictures to come in various places, including FB and my wall. I rented a car, loaded it up, printed out some google directions, and drove drove drove. In two weeks and three days I… Read how I did it…
It made me
amused
How I did it: Haha it happened to be on cable while I was at my friend Cathy's house :) Only reaffirms how much I really like the movie. 150 characters minimum on watching a movie again? Okay, obviously I picked a smaller insignificant goal, but when you're financially strapped rewatching a movie you don't own can be a trick.

Tonight I just had a conversation with a close friend about this, well, what amounts to learning to relax. We are the type of people that when we try too hard, which is most of the time, we end up shooting ourselves in the foot. Or feet, I suppose.
Strangely at this point in my life I am trying to get out of one place to move to another, and now that the pressure is off here (it’s not that I’m not trying to do well at my job, just that I feel pressure to perform lifted) I am suddenly doing so well that job offers are coming from all over, and that doesn’t ever work when I try it on purpose. So the question becomes, how do you try not to try? ... I mean, without trying. yes, that made sense. thank you.
