OK for those who are unaware, I got laid off from my job as a mortgage sales rep for a certain monstrous, failed-company gobbling bank last week, or as I affectionately refer to it: my personal contribution to the downfall of the American economy. The job had been spiraling downward since mid-summer, however, so I've had ample time to ponder what my next step should be, or as I affectionately refer to it: descend into a college-esque identity crisis reminiscent of my Daily Email posts from yesteryear...
I digress..
SO, I find that these days my head is so filled with thoughts and worries and dreams and what ifs and maybe I's that it is about five seconds from bursting open; hence why I can't sleep and am peopleforsandwiching at 12:30AM. I hope no one minds too much?
Years ago, Bethie and I were driving back from Sarah's house in Southwick, and I remember that during our conversation, she listed off about 20 different things that she wanted to be or do. It was really quite beautiful and inspiring. So, if no one minds, I'd like to do the same. Just to get it out of my mind and in a concrete place.
In no particular order and with far too long an introduction:

Please respond with your vote. I'm serious! Nothing exemplifies 21st century American culture like an interactive, blog-peer supported soul search.
Love:)
