I sort of had an identity crisis today....which contributed to fact that I just finished binging on white bread (??) and nutty nuggets (which are, of course, the generic brand of grape nuts and i only ate them because Russ told me I had to eat a protein with my carb).
Anyways, back to the identity crisis...i'm sure many of you can relate. I STILL don't know what i want to do with my life. I like lots of things a little bit, but not one thing in particular enough to want to pursue a career in it. I'm fairly certain i will never know. I just want to be happy. And yes money (or financial security, as i see it) does contribute somewhat to happiness for me, i don't care what everyone says.
Also the new guy at work (who bakes bread and has absolutey NOTHING to do with what I or my other pastry-chef-coworkers do) basically belittled my existence today by assuming that he could do everything better and quicker than we do (he actually told my boss he could do his job and ours in half the time).
it was a rough day, but I would like to end this story on a good note, with something I am thankful for: my right arm
I was trying to imagine how life would be as an amputee , so I drove my car home using only my left hand (steering AND shifting) and WOWie am I glad I have two arms. thankfulness abounds. Try this and be thankful for arms.

You crack me up, I'll have to try that one. I'm glad you posted about your identity crisis cuz i've been going through the same thing. I've felt a bit down on what i'm doing with my life. First, I need to grow up, but who knows when that will happen.
arms are overrated
nice Em. you're so random. work has sucked so bad for me lately too. i HATE it beyond all possible imagination--it sucks.
but i guess you're right. there are tons of things to be thankful for like my right arm. i'll see you saturday!
Emily,
I feel the same way, but my problem is that I love about 3 or 4 things but can't do any of them very well or much because I'm chasing around a 1 year old!! Maybe some day when my kids grow up I'll be able to spend sometime doing these things, until then...
Bytheway, it was so much fun seeing you the other night...are you guys coming down for the wedding?
Hang in there!!
hey em,
i <3 you and your arms...
i think everyone goes into an identity crisis. my solution is to just try for everything, and then do whatever works out.
so far, it is working for me!
love ya :)
emily I love you! i love your outlooks on life i mean really i just love it! i miss you tons! ---and not to worry em things will work out the way they are supposed to and knowing you it'll be better than you ever imagined!
