After a solid year of vacation, I have less than 3 weeks before I'll be expected to show up in the same place 4-5 days a week and act responsible. As excited as I am about the new job, I realize it's probably going to be a bit of a difficult adjustment. With that in mind, I have been spending the last several days finding new ways to waste time... a luxury I think I'm soon going to have to give up. There are moments I feel guilty that I should be *doing* something, but doing nothing (or close to it) can be pretty rewarding. I've been reading a lot, taking long walks, and doing a lot of thinking.
This morning, before standing in a long line at the Department of Licensing to pay for my overdue 2009 tabs (oops!), I sat on cross-legged on the floor in Barnes & Noble and read the book Other People's Love Letters cover to cover. This is a sweet little book. You should read it. It reminded me a little of PostSecret and Found (which you should check out if you're looking to waste some time...)
OK, I'm off to go do something productive (maybe)...

Trust me - relish the days before you start work again. Even with rewarding work, NOT WORKING is just so much more fun! Now where's my lotto ticket...
Aw Josie, makin' me happy with the Liz Phair references...no guilt and GOOD LUCK!
Hey Josie! How's the job going? Dan and I leave in 3 weeks for 6 months at old Kew Sua! Hoping to catch up with you sometime before then! Love, Rebecca
