When I was 14 yrs old, I was selected to play a child in Neil Simon's show, "Stop the World, I want to Get Off." I haven't revisited the story since then but what I can remember; it was about the ever changing seasons of our lives. (I better remember having a crush on the guy playing drums in the pit). Anyway, I thought of this musical today because I feel like I am "dealing" with my life more then I am "living" it. Right now, there is a feeling of transition or "getting by" that pieces my life together. 1) I would like to finish a degree by December 2008, 2) I am looking nationally for jobs, 3) I can't seem to keep a date more then a few weeks and 4) I am in disparate need of a regular beautician.Luckily, my friends hang around and my cats seem to always be waiting for me when I arrive home each evening. I guess my thing is..... I just need to stop the world and get off for a while.
Getting off the world might look like this:
a) a regular and healthy eating schedule
b) one job (not 3)
c) a cozy hot chocolate handed to me by a close friend when I got home at night.
To some extent, forms of these ideas are within my own reach. Jesus came that we might live our lives, not just deal with them. Maybe He is the close friend waiting for me each night? He probably already knows I like the little marshmallows.

Very sweet, friend. Here's to hot chocolates and little marshmallows!! :)
I feel your pain as I'm realizing that I will run out of seasons of Sex and the City and have to start living again. But I think I've got 2 weeks of mind-numbing fiction until the living must resume.
I hear what you are saying. Instead of rolling with the punches, I want to be the one throwing them. No I am not violent, I am just making a comparison here. I am trying make the best of incontrolable situations and doing a good job of it. Speaking of jobs, What are you looking for?
I too would be worried about running out of SITC episodes. I worry about Law & Order episodes and haven't hit the bottom yet.
Here is my launch out into the universe... in completely trusting God. As a job, I am looking for full-time work in ministry that fits my gifts and makes me extremely happy. Not too much for God.
