And Now It Is March
Thursday, March 04, 2010

What a nutty few months. A new nephew, a two week trip with my mother, lots of travelling...and now it's March.

I've been thinking a lot about babies lately and my own decision not to have any. I'm not reconsidering, but it's hard not to wonder what life would be like with children. For me, having children and that life is not something I choose, but now that I'm older, I've been observing that life from afar.

While not momentous by any means, I've settled on the vague goal of... If I am not going to birth a piece of me that will walk independent of me after I am gone, at the very least I should make some sort of lasting contribution. And if that is not possible, I should life this life, the life I have chosen, to the fullest. If MW are going to be a dual-income, child-free couple, we damn well better act like it. While crippling debt may prevent us from doing that right at this moment, it is coming. Which means I should really get on that passport thing....

I renewed my passport this year. Well, I guess it was actually last year now. I look like a very bitter person in my photo. I need to practice not looking like a heartless bitch when not smiling. Is that possible?

I've always wanted to have children, but I am in such a rut in my romantic life that I feel like the only way a baby will happen is by accident. I guess there is still plenty of time though.

I am glad you have reappeared after several months. I blog love you too.

get out there and see the world sugar pie!!!

We've found that with all the other crap we waste money on, and how hard we work day to day, that if we have to go into debt to take a vacation, it's always always always worth it. Whether it's our big trips or just a weekend to Vermont, they are my happiest memories and I feel so lucky that we are able to do them.

Lately I've noticed all the other little things we do regularly that we couldn't do if we had kids too - dinner out on a whim, hockey games and concerts pretty regularly, lazy Sundays. I know these things are possible with kids, but they become so complicated. I feel so lucky that life is relatively breezy, and feel the same as you - I need to take advantage of it more, and get out there and DO STUFF!
