I may have expected too much from my new life—or at least I may have expected fabulousness to begin occurring with a rapidity that was unrealistic. I feel enormous pressure to find something amazing every day, for no other reason than I think I believed that to be so. I had this “look out world”
At some point, I would like to be as happy as this penguin. New goal! http://img.widgets.video.s-msn.com/flash/customplayer/1_0/customplayer.swfVideo: Penguin Loves To Get Scratched
Clearly, in order to become a wildly famous author with Pulitzer committee calls and film conversion offers waiting in the wings, I should tell you about the brilliance that was my first day in my new life. That brilliance should include a sly mention of my embarking on a torrid affair with a well-known leading
It turns out that the first thing to throw me about my new found “adventure” was not the relatively late wake-up time (slept in until almost 6am, thank you very much!), and it wasn’t the lack of frantic emails on a Sunday night about the work week. It was my missing Blackberry. I have perfected

I have agreed… wait for it… to be set up on a blind date… sort of. I know. My life is all topsy-turvy and unexpected these days. Black is white. Cats are dogs. Structure and atrophy are swapping places regularly in my mind. As all things do that are good and pure, this idea started
Say that some force of nature, or your own insanity, allows you to have one year off from your normal life. In this scenario, there are no kids (probably), an easy mortgage/rent scenario and some money (not a fortune) in the bank. These are your parameters. BUT you cannot continue working at your present job
Here is another one of these fun-filled questionnaires for you to ponder, copy, paste, circulate, fondle… whatever works for you. Age or Ages You Would Like To Do Over? 24 or 29. These were both big decision-making years for me. I’d be curious to see what would happen if I had taken a different path—provided,
