procrastination at its finest

i'm a procrastinator. i'm not one with ALL things, but there are things i just plain avoid until the last possible moment. one of these most recent things is getting a job. my way of procrastinating is by researching every possible idea i can come up with and traveling. where am i going NOW??!! thanks to my mom's desire to travel and non-desire to do it alone, we're going to Cozumel for a few days. :-)

we'll fly down there next thursday morning, stay three nights, and come home sunday afternoon. it's an all-inclusive plan where we lie on the beach, drink whatever, eat three (or four) meals every day, snorkel, swim, work on our tans, and logically shouldn't have to pay for anything else because we paid it up front. according to the website and the few reviews i read, it should be fun and relaxing and beautiful.

in spite of my procastination, i am getting closer to applying for jobs. i've had several different thoughts about which avenue to pursue. riverboat cruising? airline customer service? a desk job? graphics? houseparent? pharmacy tech? and so many others. part of my hesitation is the idea that i returned to texas to be with/near my family. if i then move to a larger city hours away, then i'll see them only a couple times a month. and, while that's ok at times, it sorta defeats the purpose of moving back to texas, at least in my head it does. but if i stay in Brenham, where i'll see them all the time, i may not find a contentable (yes, i think i just made up a new word) job. and so ... i continue to think, process, pray, research .... a.k.a. procrastinate.

BUT ... i did finally narrow it down to what was most important to me in working. 1) serve God. 2) serve His people. 3) make my family proud. 4) earn enough money for bills and food. 5) travel with whatever money and time is leftover.

with that established, i can now rule out certain ideas and further process others.

and in the meantime, i'll enjoy Cozumel. :-)
