hello 2008

i went back to florida for a few weeks for christmas & new years. it was so nice to be back in the motherland. the weather was divine...and the air, like an old friend, welcomed me as i exited the airport. i love florida air, i love southern air. i just like the fact that we have blessed laws that prohibit us from smoking in restaurants. being back in barca i can already feel the black lung kicking in.

i really enjoyed my time with my friends & family...but i was excited to get back to spain...back to my freedom, back to my who's its & what's its, back to the land of small coffee's & large beers.

it's 2008 and i almost feel like i have nothing to show for it. i have a bachelor's in journalism, a job in journalism, a job in event planning, and a job teaching english. [geez, only an american would sum up their life in terms of how accredited their resume appears.] i wish i had a gold medal from some olympic event, or a hit song, or a nice piece of property.

2008 seems like a year from the science-fiction-version of the future. why aren't we wearing space suits & reading each other's minds? i swear if we get a 6th sense it will be telepathy, and if not i'll be pissed.

i'm looking forward to 2008...i don't know what the hell i'm doing or where i'm going, but hopefully it'll lead me somewhere nice.

You have done so much - stuff that can't be put on a resume (and that can). I envy you - you have experienced more - by 24 - than I will by 50 (I do have hopes for my 50s though!). You've had jobs, taken chances, travelled, lived ANYWHERE besides Orange Park. Seriously, I think you are more impressive and have more to show for it than anyone in our family - including Julie K.F.;) Plus you're the nicest girl in all of the world!

I hate that we didn't get to spend much time together while you were here. You stupid illness, my stupid life! Love you:)
