In the middle

Who am I? I'm a work in progress (/'prO-"gres/ 1 a : a royal journey marked by pomp and pageant; 2 : a forward or onward movement; 3 : gradual betterment;). I fit more into definition number two at the moment. I'm trying for number three, although number one looks pretty good too.

I look at all that defines me: I'm 30-something, I'm married with 2 kids, I have a university degree, I work part-time as an instructional designer/multimedia author/web designer, I have a house in the suburbs. Do these things really define me? I hope not. What I want to define me: I love my girls, I love cooking, I love my cats, my family is the most important thing in my life, I like theatre, throwing dinner parties, Sunday afternoons and rainy days.

At the end

I have a sort of wish list for my life. This is ever-changing and evolving, of course:

• go to Gros Morne National Park
• compile a cookbook
• read all of Kurt Vonnegut's works
• go to a Star Trek convention
• touch a penguin
• visit Thailand
• stop worrying about what other people think
• stop slouching
