The "normal" life

I think all I need to do now is go to Maine ;) in the next month or so..... then Ill have covered the Eastern United States this fall. I returned to Blacksburg some two weeks ago on Tuesday only to turn around the next day for South Carolina. After packing up and saying good bye, I went in reverse back to Virginia...just a little farther west. Saturday through the next week, I hung out and watched over the farm while the parental units were on vacation. I felt like I was on vacation. The barn is painted red now and nothing died.
While I was just enjoying my life on the farm and hoping for another spontaneous adventure, I made the mistake of going to an interview. Well I thought I had it made, I couldnt possibly have made a good impression....I wouldnt have to settle into a "normal" life. Only somehow I did fool someone. I was offered the job only 15 minutes after leaving the interview. I agonized over the decision of taming the wanderer or finding a home. Well I suppose good sense did come over me . I accepted the job offer on Thursday only to return to Bluefield, WV on Friday for paperwork.
So here I am on Tuesday thinking about buying a bed and other such big furniture that wont fit in my car. It is a sad day. After tomorrow morning I will have my name on a lease to actually be living somewhere and the next thing I know I will have more stuff than will fit in my car (won't be coming from Wal-Mart though!).
I do hope though that life here will have its own adventures, I'll be looking for them everyday. And someday I know a crazy streak will again come my way.
