still no word and, my birthday.
i'm still anxiously awaiting the word on the job. the negative side of me is thinking that the rest of the board DIDN'T want me and my friend, who is president of the board, has been dreading calling me. the more positive side of me is thinking that my friend hasn't been able to get in touch with the rest of the board and is busy dealing with family stuff and other things that she's not had a chance to call and tell me everything's still okay.
its my 32nd birthday today. yeah, the day after my grandmother died 2 years ago. my mother sent me a poigniant note this morning. "Today is your birthday. You are forever bonded with Baba on this day so she will always be remembered along with you." i could not have said it better.
what am i going to do today? i'm going to go over to the UU and pay the $8.00 for the shared ministries. i'm going to anxiously await hearing from my friend. i'm going to help write names for the stand for peace memorial procession on the 19th. i'm going to end it at sweet life with friends and fellow activists surrounding me. no presents, just their presence. i'm going to climb in bed with my 4 cats around me keeping me warm.
my birthday wants.
~ world peace.
~ national health care for all.
~ justice for all.
~ that in 3 years i will be in a job that is a career.
~ a boyfriend for me.

~ that in 5 years my body will have endured pregnancy and that i will have started to experience the joys, and sorrows, of motherhood.
~ a maid to clean my small apartment.
~ a subscription to sun magazine
~ a foot warmer
~ the ipod auto kit

We don't know each other, but we're celebrating the day together. Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday! (OK, so I'm a day late, but that's fairly typical, I'm afraid.)
Peace.
