this has been a whirl-wind of a week. i finish work at 4:30 to come home, turn on my computer and get cracking on MORE work (the YFC newsletter & hatch). some evenings not even bothering to get changed out of my work-clothes until bedtime. as a result the maxi-pad is a total mess, i haven't even unpacked from the camping trip. in spite of that, i've been quite pleased with myself because i've thrown both together in record time. i've been pushing myself so i have everything done before my vacation. i still have the MAKE brochure and the standard, plus changes to hatch and the newsletter. BUT i'm still ahead of my schedule. i'm a design MACHINE!!
i'll tell you a little something about me that you probably didn't know. before bed tonight, i'll probably open up hatch and look it over at least 3 or 4 more times. just looking. that's it, just to look at it. satisfaction doesn't even begin to describe how i feel about my work.
i want to have a conversation with you. about everything and nothing. to sit in silence or intense discussion. both would suffice.
i've been thinking today about this whole notion of excitement. anticipation. i'd have to say that waiting is one of the most grueling experiences i've endured. yup, most definitely. but there is some truth to the idea of anticipation being best part. when i think back on different events in my life, it was the preliminary enthusiasm about a trip, my job, my house, my car that was the most exciting. when i've finally acquired those things, i no longer felt enthusiasm. i was happy, most definitely. my life was changed. altered. but the emotions were definitely different. as much as waiting sucks, it has it good points. for example: before i got the mojomobile, but i was waiting for it, my gas was cheaper, my insurance was cheaper, and i had money because i hadn't yet paid my sister for it. i guess i concluded that i'll try to enjoy the enthusiasm of waiting – knowing that it doesn't last, but it's exhilarating while it does.
you think my life's a dream.
i dream my life away.
