I’m Ready To Retire

No, I am not tired of my job. In fact I love my job and everyone I work with. Where else could I work with comics all day and bs with the likes of Brown? The reason I need to retire is that I want to travel!

I have always had a deep thread of waunderlust in me and this year proves to tickle that fancy. But it is never enough!! I always want to get up and go explore new places and revisit places that I love. Kirsten and I were very close to packing up and just waundering the world for a year working odd jobs and letting life carry us where ever we wanted go. A part of me still wants to do that. But for more realistic travel, things are proving to be most difficult. Mostly because I get only 17 PTO days a year. I know I know…that is already generous, but the trips that are stacking up need more time than that! I have some friends wanting to go to Tahoe next motnh to snowboard which I totally want to do! But then Ronnie has been very homesick lately and desperatly wants to go and visit New York. The cheapest time would be in Febuary. Then from March 1-10, Kirsten and I are going to Paris. Following that, at the end of March, I am going to Arizona with my dad for our annual Spring Training for the SF Giants trip, then there is talk of Ronnie and I hanging with his parents in May, Comic-con in San Diego and Big Bend in July… not to mention I am really acheing to go back to Mexico. OYE!

So I want to have a humble lump of money and more days off to enjoy travel and keep the job I love so much. What is a girl to do!? Perhaps I could write part-time for a travel book? Hmmm…

Recently Drank: Right now I am drinking Lavendar tea. It reminds me of being at a spa.
Recently Ate: I am about to go get sushi with Kirstina at Godzila. Ooo do I love that place.
Recently Watched: Lost season one disk 3. I do enjoy this series but sometimes I think it is silly how many mysteries there are. Good creepiness though!
Recently Played: 5 Up Dominoes. Aaron taught me this game awhile back and I love it. Ronnie and I often play it.
Recenlty Drew: Ack! Nothing really, but I did do another mini comic for my APE book. (Alternative Press Expo)
