lately i've been feeling like a thirty-something year old housewife.
the kind that drop their children off at school in the morning,
go home, workout, take baths, run errands, go shopping and shopping and shopping--
i mean, after all, it is your hard working husband's money you are spending--
then i pick up the kids and watch a soap opera (read:gilmore girls).
like a young emily Gilmore, that's what i feel like.
i articulated these feelings to matt, who laughed at me and proceeded to tell me i'm on my way to becoming a shopaholic. it's not MY fault i received a million gift cards for christmas, and they must be used, right?.
and then night comes, and i watch the news, and read my books for class that start soon[!!] (btw, Socrates was SUCH A COOL GUY), and fall asleep..
when i left for reed it felt like i was putting my life on hold and going on a vacation. somewhere along the line, i'm not sure where, the vacation spot became home. now, i feel like my life is back there and it is on hold and i'm on vacation here, as a housewife in the suburbs with nothing to do but complain about her great life. arhhggggg
also/ i heard our president say this and decided i want to practice law. what?
We should be civil because we want to live up to the example of public servants like John Roll and Gabby Giffords, who knew first and foremost that we are all Americans, and that we can question each other’s ideas without questioning each other’s love of country and that our task, working together, is to constantly widen the circle of our concern so that we bequeath the American Dream to future generations.
love this
we are all Americans, [...] we can question each other’s ideas without questioning each other’s love of country and [...] our task, working together, is to constantly widen the circle of our concern so that we bequeath the American Dream to future generations
