I have just fallen in love with you and your stories and if you lived within traveling distance, would be making daily trips to visit you just to hear about your life. I kid you not! <br /><br />I read your comment about daydreaming about being chauferred around the seven wonders....my hubby and I do the same thing....if only we could win the lottery....but we never even play....lol.<br /><br />You have a sparkling personality and a warm soul. I am drawn to your blog.

It feels far too early and I'm grumpy and miserable at the thought of the day ahead.

Of course, this is the life that we all long for as retirees...but,,,it is rather like marking time.

It's a mixed blessing, isn't it? The peacefulness is pleasant, and yet the boredom sometimes makes it difficult. My husband also always wants to know what's for dinner, so I plan the menu a week in advance. But here I am, only 23, and already it seems my 'young and adventurous' days are over. I think they ended as soon as I was done with college. Working or looking for work, days now seem to blur together all the same. I enjoy your blog, you are a wonderful writer.Victoryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498330970970006692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965486343561766609.post-87747458188857713632011-02-17T13:32:12.321-08:002011-02-17T13:32:12.321-08:00It might never come, but I am very excited for the...It might never come, but I am very excited for the day that I can be at home and not have to work.
