Building a life?

All righty. Let’s talk about me, shall we? I went up to Payson to look at places to reside in and found one I like. It's a studio. Big enough to pace and small enough to only need so much furniture. Perfect. All I have to do now is find said furniture. I’m thinking a futon and a small couch in the bedroom/living room. If I can make a little dining room I’m totally going for it, as I am way into dining rooms. Little tables can be found yes? My backyard leads into all these trails that I can hike. There is an off leash dog park down the street. Horseback riding is completely attainable. There’s a thrift store. Is anything else needed really? Nah. Maybe one thing. Like the chick that is living in my house getting the hell out huh?? Yeah, maybe that. She said she should be out by Monday. Sweet. One of the things I am considering doing once I am settled is getting more finches. Maybe not 107 breeding pairs this time. Maybe like 4. No nests. And how cool would an outdoor aviary be huh? Huh?? Yeah, I know… I rule. I’m thinking about doing it so it can be brought in if need be but have it large enough that it can go outside my window. My birds can enjoy the company of their wild cousins and their captor all at once. James will have the project of keeping the cats away. He’s going to be great at that. I bet he even gets a sweet bonus at Christmas and possibly, just possibly a promotion. Uh huh.

Scottsdale is going to be a hard thing to leave due to the company and the fact that I have been playing domestic queen and I am SUPER at it. I’m all about bustle and cleanliness and then making dinner. Are you kidding me? This is great. I also don’t have any kids running about which I am certain makes it like 80% easier but whatever. I am pretty sure I could handle it without issue. I have the energy of a small child so we’d match up great and take on the world together. After picking up the house and having lunch and our midday siesta of course.

James is suffering. He’s used to doing things during the day but the heat makes us stay inside and without a job, there is nowhere to go right now. I’m enjoying it, but he’s having a hard time with the whole affair. I take him out at night to run about the school grounds or the golf course but it’s just not the same. I would bring him with me when I go out but I guess you can get into serious trouble around here for leaving your dog in the car. Even when the windows are down. All the way down, parked in the shade with a slight breeze going through. In fact, the chances of the police being called and the dog being taken away is super high. I don’t want to take that risk, so we stay inside. The risk is due to (get this) people going shopping, rolling up their windows and forgetting (!) their kids (!) or pets are in the car. Then of course the car goes up to about 160 degrees and everything in it dies. So now, due to the fact that there is a sprinkling of incredibly dense people out there, uber smart people like me get to pay the price as well. But I suppose without them, there would be no comparison, therefore making me look just like everyone else instead of pure genius. I might just start thanking them.

Back to me... I could go on forever when regarding that subject. However, I am going to stick with the vanity aspect right now and let everyone know I am chopping off the rest of my hair. That’s right. Gone. It’s going to look like this haircut but I am going to ask the stylist to leave the front a little wispy and longer. Not much mind you. Wispy. I have this issue with my confidence level and my hair in my face. When I feel insecure I can usually booster myself by letting my hair hide my face a little. I guess you could say it’s good for regaining composure. So I think if I leave a little and slowly work my way into the shorter cut I can wean my way out of this bizarre behavior and just know how extremely awesome I am. I don’t even know why this is in question. I doubly don’t know why I would ever want to hide these phenomenal features. You know what this means don’t you? Soul searching.

Speaking of nothing related to soul searching, I am reading a book about Hermetic Philosophy. It kind of goes along the lines of The Secret (ahemauntieyoushouldreaditcough) but it’s way more involved. I am digging it very much. I’m not even going to try and summarize. Okay, maybe a little for your sake. Everything is mental, everything vibrates, everything is the same but different, the Universe is at our disposal and we are capable of using it instead of being used *by* it. How’s that? Yeah, well, go read about it then. I’m only like a 1/4 through my book anyway so I don’t even know where I get off trying to explain something so complex.
