bare edge of sanity

hola, friends and neighbors. today is the first day of vacation bible school, after a week of junior high sleep-away camp, after a week of packing and unpacking, after a weekend of family reunion, preceded by a week of vacation, preceded by a weekend of debauchery with esteban, and i am very, very tired. after taking what i am sure is the legal limit for birth control (a week at camp allen with 93 junior high kids), i feel much better about my station in life. two months ago, i was being all sad and pouty about children i might never have. today, i feel pretty good about not having kids. i'll post more later. right now, i need some lunch and caffiene. lord, have mercy...

i have no sheets on my bed, and i'm down to my last two pair of clean undies. i wish i could go home and do laundry, but it's looking like i may have to visit the nice asian ladies down south at the laundry with clean and fold service. actually, i wish they had pick-up service, because at this point, i'm too freaking shredded to contemplate driving the 4.5 miles to the laundry, and my clothes and soap are already in the car. my mom offered to do my laundry and feed me, but i had to come straight home from camp to do freaking vbs stuff. did i mention that i HATE vbs? it's of the freaking devil, i swear. it's like the more i have to do this summer, the more i'm positive i made the right decision to leave. i get happier and happier doing all my last things, because i'm not having to quietly figure out how to do things better, etc. i'm just finally going to be done. thank G-d. and even though i'm still not gainfully employed as of july 31st (which is starting to make my heart beat fast if i think about it too much...), i will be glad to be doing something else, even if it's working at starbucks or blockbuster, slaving for the freaking establishment and running stupid yuppie's platinum cards for meaningless shit. everything is going to be ok.

i have a story to tell you about a 30 foot whale. it's a doozie.

I'll second you on VBS. Every year we have a VBS fair to display all of the current VBS curricula. Let me tell ya, the theology behind some of the curricula is quite scary. It's almost comparable to giving your child a knife and going "here, play with this."

You're leaving...hmmm... apparently i've missed a few memos and we'll have to chat and catch up once we both have a second to come up for air.
