I've had an odd time lately since the passing of my mom. (Oh no! She's talking about that again!) Apparently, death creates change. Or, in my case, a head full of ideas that have nowhere to go. I'm thinking of the future, and here are random ideas that have popped into my head.
- Phil and I should sell the house and travel in an RV for the rest of our lives, just like Six for the Road. We'll go town to town, up and down the dial. Phil will perform comedy in random towns and nudist camps while I make goldfish jewelry (yes, from real goldfish). Amos will learn the true carnie lifestyle. Happiness will abound.
- You think I'm joking, but here are but some of the lil' cuties I'm considering for our vagabond life: How about an Airstream? An Oliver? A Scamp? Roundin' it out in an R-Pod? Teardropping the T@B? Whoa bam TADA?
- Another option considered: Going to pharmacy school to learn to legally deal drugs to old people. It will only take four years of my life plus $40,000 - $100,000 in tuition. Then, I can rake in $95,000+ a year while wearing a smock in Walmart. Woo! Live the dream!
- Another option: Learn to make jewelry. See above goldfish reference.
- Another option: Actually committing to the blog and making it worth reading. Heh.
- Another option: Become a travel journalist as trained by The Travel Channel. I could become a female Bear Grylls or some such, creating "Woman Versus Wild". Watch me strip naked and do pushups in the Himalayas!
- Get a job of some sort that allows me to work from home. You may offer suggestions now.
- Forget it all and eat chocolate.

That's an RV load of great ideas!
I've always loved the Airstream. They look good in the desert, with the sun reflecting off. So romantic, in that Harry Dean Stanton sort of way :) I could see you and Phil doing that.
Pharmacy school - hmmm. The money is great. Recession proof employment. Maybe sell low-cost drugs from an RV?
working from home. I have a friend with a young one underfoot who has made a living for years doing medical billing/transcription from home. She crawls into a VPN every morning about 5 and her workday is finished by Sesame Street o'clock. Again ...health care is so vogue right now.
Whatever you choose, have a great holiday and think of all the things to look forward to in 2009!
Go with the eat Chocolate option.
You forgot to mention that we'll be fighting crime in our trailer. Unless you're dealing drugs, then we'll be promoting crime. Either way, if the trailer's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'. And if the trailer's a-fumin', the meth is a-bloomin'.
Also, I suspect eating chocolate is involved in all of these plans.
The 'work from home' option sounds good to me. I've been trying to work that one out for years.
I vote airstream. You could then go to that Travel Channel school for promoting your own travel videos, blog about it, youTube it, get a TV series, become wildly successful and then sit in the Wal-Mart pharmacy waiting area taunting the Pharmacists in small towns across America...and beyond.
Or, the chocolate sounds good too.
Merry Christmas!
Personally, I'd go with the eating chocolate idea...
You know, I dream of that whole RV thing. Quite a lot actually, except without the nudist camps and goldfish jewelry, because that sounds a little cruel (the jewelry, not the nudist camps, although that might apply too).
