TRUTH:
Let's be serious. If a cop has road rage, (s)he is totally justified. Everywhere you go people slam on their brakes and drive at or below the speed limit. Gross. I couldn't handle.

the dotted line
Our lease is en route and we should sign in the coming week! Jethro found us a beautiful place, two bedroom, two bath with all hardwood floors and plenty of open space and sunlight. It is going to be magnificent and I'm ready.
That's all. :]
That's all. :]

oh my, oh my
Things are falling into place and I am notoriously freaking out. Yes, it will be okay. But until then, I have permission to freak out. What's that.. I don't? Shut up.
My therapist stopped me once, mid-sentence and said, "Wait a minute. So in attempt to stop controlling, you control even more, just in other areas?"
You got it.
I'm trying to plan August, to organize August, to organize Myself and life is telling me that you can't organize tasks that don't even exist yet. I can't place my worry into nice boxes, color-coded for excellence and labeled for good-feeling. The truth is, nothing is going wrong. Everything is so exciting and I'm worried. About what? Good question.
I am capable. I am capable.
We should have some exciting news in the next few days.

06.19.10
Jethro left for North Carolina this morning to see a good chunk of his friends, attend orientation and (hopefully!) secure a place for us come August. As we approach this move, I have really been considering some changes. I want this new geographical location to signify a lot of things: beginnings, growth, maturity, stability and most of all, Love.
Over the past year or so I've felt pulled toward living a more, excuse the cliche, "green" life. I've made simple changes such as using reusable bags, recycling, donating, biking, printing less, only running the dishwasher when it's full, etc.). But Jethro and I agree that we want to do more. I'd like to make a few more lifestyle changes such as having a garden, eating locally and organically, eliminating waste and buying secondhand. I know this move is a perfect time to incorporate these changes and I'm excited to research. Learning to grow plants is a useful and tangible representation of my yearn to expand my knowledge and experiences in Asheville. The plants grow; I grow.
I'm also looking to be more self-sufficient. I want to cook seasonally and learn how to fix things when they are broken. I'm exceptionally excited to decorate our new place and want to rely on others minimally. I have vision upon vision of things I want to build and transform.
Besides patience, all I really lack at this point is confidence. And today, I know I can do it.

romance
Last week I found Jethro hard at work and noticed the filing cabinet I bought him next to his desk. I smiled with excitement. "Holy shit."
Trevor was in the room and couldn't figure out what the big idea was.
Me: "He has this thing out, he must have filed something in there!"
Jethro and I were having a conversation, a conversation that doesn't even matter because I about fainted with excitement after he turned the conversation 360 and said:
"I filed something today, babe."
[I'm laughing.]
"Yeah. The title for my motorcycle. I filed it in my filing cabinet under "AUTO.""
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?
Jethro Waters has officially tapped into those organizational powers his horoscope mentioned months ago. Next thing you know he will be doing dishes and scrubbing floors. Oh, the things you do for love.

The friendly arch
I've noticed lately that marketing in America has hit an all time low because businesses have resorted to paying desperate people to stand along roads and hold signs that say "CASH FOR GOLD" or "SALE," all while enduring extreme weather conditions. You know what I am talking about. I can't drive by these situations without cringing. But on to the reason I would even consider writing the previous on my blog.
A good friend is in a predicament and I have been taking him to work the past two days. The drive is an hour round trip and well, let's be honest, there are other things I would rather be doing at 7 a.m.
COUGH
sleeping
COUGH
As we drive this morning I am rather tired, it is raining and my stomach is hurting because I ate a THE BEST DANISH IN THE WORLD right before bed. And what do you know, we approach McDonald's. Not a big deal. McDonalds, SchmicDonalds. A dime a dozen.
Except we're driving past Mickey D's and see a twenty-something Latino male decked from head to toe in his McDonald's get-up GETTING DOWN along County Line Road. It is raining, and he is holding a sign that says "PANCAKES AND HASHBROWNS $1" and grooving to the imaginary beat as cars pile into the drive through line.
I have a feeling dancers around the world are about to be in high demand.
