i make rule #1

Dear Laura,

It sure took you long enough to get on the ball, but I forgive you.

After reading your post I've come to one conclusion: I'm never getting in a car with you again. I know it's greener to car pool and things... but it seems to me you have a slight rage issue. However, I do give you mad props for calling the police on her. That's a pretty sweet prank, of sorts.

I also agree with you about drawing a blank when it comes to blogging. While I was not so patiently awaiting your inaugural blog post and subsequently making a post of my own, I had hoped to make said post more substantial. Instead, I went for the cop out and just begged you to do it instead. I think I should at least get points for trying. The thing is, I don't know that I make great observations about life all that often. Or if I do, I don't realize it and then I don't have much to say in the blog world.

So here's one thing I've been thinking though: Well, today was my one month anniversary in Evansville. I was trying to think back about the past 30 or so days and figure out what I've taken from everything thus far. I realized that I didn't have many expectations when I got here. For instance, I didn't concern myself before coming with how I'd make friends or what I'd do in my spare time. Lucky thing that worked out pretty smoothly.

The other thing I thought was that I do enjoy it here, but I don't know how long I'll stay. I've said for a while now that I'd like to be a nomad when I grow up and I now see that I'm set up perfectly for it and so I might as well. So, I'm thinking... I stick it out until my lease is up and then I go somewhere new. Where? Who knows. This wasn't that far from the life I've known in the past 6 years. Maybe somewhere farther next time. *coughtexascough* I know it sounds kinda crazy because I essentially just got here, but thinking about it this early only means I will be more prepared if I decide that's what I want to do, right?

Are you thinking I'm out of my mind? If so, I just want to say... I agree. But it could be fun!


Finally, I'm thinking I've come up with the first rule of our blog adventure: Maybe at the end of every post we make, we ask the other person a question that they must address when they make their next post. It could be legitimate question you want an answer to, or it could be totally silly and off the wall. Either way, it must be answered. This might help us get the ball rolling if we're at a loss for something to write about. Sooooooo:


A question for you to address in your next post: When will you be moving to your new house?

Love,

Jenny
