I'm torn.
I know I have the tendency to fixate on "something" and strive to get it by any means necessary...I also have a tendency to try to justify it, even though I know it's probably not the best decision, I still manage to pull a pretty convincing argument.
The argument for my latest idea is "why have money if you can't spend it?" and/or "you can't put a pricetag on experience" and/or "time is the most precious currency of all". Compelling, yes...enough? I don't know.
I'm torn between a romantic notion and harsh reality. The reality is, I don't have that much money...and I have very limited time. If I do manage to pull things off, I'd put myself in a crunch with both aspects...blah blah blah. I dunno, I have spent 99% of my life being rational and practical...always holding back. To do something so "out there" goes against what I've decided to be. Perhaps, it's time to change? Or perhaps, I'm just trying to rationalize again. Sigh.
In other news, Dad is flying in on Monday! Crazy shit...he sent us a note yesterday - it's so sudden and considering the last status report of the Mom/Dad saga, I doubt it's a good thing.
Speaking of flying the coop, Jesse decided to go on a walkabout yesterday. Kim accidentally let him out and I spent a good chunk of the evening traipsing around the dark neighborhood looking for a fluffy orange monster. Catching him is a particularly hairy (hehe) feat because he doesn't come when called and if you try to grab him by the collar, he will bite you. I managed to catch up to him as he was mid-lift at a fire hydrant. I got his attention by saying the magic phrase, "Jesse, do you wanna go for a walk?" He saw me approach with his favorite red leash and stood still long enough for me to lasso him...and although he had already been running around the neighborhood for 25 minutes, he was still very excited to go on a "walk". I never said he was a smart dog...he's the type of creature that gets by on looks alone. =)
Pretty chill day ahead...gonna ponder what to do about my grand master plan and then get food - hungry.
