If you're having some trouble deciding where to cast your vote and healthcare is one of your issues of importance, this could help.  

I'll say one thing at least, Obama picked a better date for releasing him plan.  ;)

Also, this provision, 'Children up to age 25 could continue family coverage through their parents’ plan' certainly would have saved me from a significant insurance gap while I was globetrotting/slacking off!

No finer place, for sure

I'm moving downtown!  Found a sweet new place in the warehouse district.  Walking distance to everything awesome- about 100 yards (I'm totally making this measurement up) from the new twins stadium.  It's pretty flippin awesome.  I'm pumped!  :)

Everything's waiting for you!

you could help it wouldn't be that hard

I think this is where I'm going to live next.  I always wanted to be part of the Swiss Family Robinson.

maybe we could put like a little tiny fridge in there somewhere...

the problem with having the near-perfect apartment, is that eventually when you have to leave, nothing is as good.

Apartment hunting is pure-evilness.

Friends to know and ways to grow

On book ettiquette:

I love my book collection.  Sadly much of it has scattered the globe, as large amounts of books are not very travel friendly...

I love to share the joy that I find in reading books by lending them to friends and family.  However, I am not responsible (or anal) enough to keep track of who I lend what to.  And frankly, it really gets my goat when people don't return books.  Lately I've been finding myself thinking of a random book and realizing that yes, I did own that at one point, but now I have no idea where it is.  Frustration...

I'm trying to find some of those stickers that say 'ex libris' or 'from the library of' but they are all made for kids or ugly.  If anyone ever wants to buy me a very nice and thoughtful gift- those stickers, pretty and personalized, would be it.  Ha ha ha

Don't worry- I fully realize the embarrassing extent of my nerdiness right now

Doritos, Diet Coke & Disney

There is no better sure-fire mood fixer :)

More wanderlust

Mike's post is beautiful- and spot on.  Makes me yearn for the open road again...

I need to find a happy medium between my wanderlust and my desire for stability.  I think usually whatever I feel I am lacking more at the moment feels the most appealing.  I want an adventure full of mishaps and ridiculous stories.  While I am all for planning in most parts of life, when I hit the open road for an adventure, I like to see where it will take me without direction or agenda.  Perhaps that’s why I was born without an internal compass? ;)  I am guided by another kind of force.

Perhaps I often feel like my bigger adventures have been slightly lacking because I wasn't able to share most of them with someone close to me.  Things always mean more this way.  This is why I am particularly excited about Kili this winter with my one and only Marianne!

you can't help yourself from falling

I need to remember to keep my eye on this.  Sounds like an amazing adventure!  Hollys are always cool... ;)
