another long absense. the truth is i've been dealing with some personal stuff, nothing huge i assure you, but still not stuff i want all cyberspace to read about. that cyberspace can be pretty nosey, and i hear you can never trust him with a secret. i know that i could have posted anyway, but i don't like not being completely me on the blog...so i decided to take a short hiatus.
i'm back at work at getting the crepe shop ready. in fact, i'm supposed to be doing that right now instead of blogging. it is challenging to be my own boss. i've never had to do that before. i've decided to split my personality into boss suzanne (lets call her Ms. stone) and worker suzanne (lets call her sally). and the boss suzanne is going to have a stern talking to worker suzanne about blogging when she should have been researching information for the crepe shop.
i already teeter on stability and insanity...this job may not be so good for my phyche.
this is also my last week working for riverview. i'll still be volunteering, but i won't be on staff anymore...and no longer part of the leadership team. it makes me really sad to leave. i loved my job there. i love my boss and my coworkers. there is so much that is good about that job, but the biggest problem with that job is that it was very comfortable. the church is a very safe environment for me. this crepe shop venture is going to throw me out into the real world, and i need that. i need to be challenged, i need to interact with people who don't know God, i need to do more than what i've been doing.
i feel strongly that God has given us dreams and desires that will never be fulfilled apart from Him, and i'm passionate about helping people discover those desires and dreams. i know it sounds so cliche'. but its still true. people, including myself, constantly live these half-assed lives where they never find fulfillment or joy. God created us to experience life strongly, passionately, and wisely. and i have to admit most of my time has been spent sitting in front of the tv, scarfing down a bag of cheetos...cheetos...hmmm....those sound really good to me right now.
ice cream sounds really good too.
okay, time to take a lunch break. i'm going to see how long sally can stall at lunch before Ms. stone finds her and threatens to fire her.

Ms. Stone sounds hardcore. I bet she's a vegetarian....
actually, she's a vegan. :) you can't get more hard core than that.
Susanne, actually I was going to say that she was vegan but she sounded like the type of woman who would eat brie en croute with thin slices of pear at a gallery opening or something. Besides I bet she secretly eats mac and cheese with a tall glass of chocolate milk, probably organic mac and cheese and milk, but just the same...
