The Vision Quest of Life

Oh, the fun you can have at the marine life park!

In case you were wondering about me, here is a little interview I conducted with myself. We’ll call the selves Self1 and Self2. Here goes…

Self1: Tell us a little about yourself, Wendy.

Self2: Well, I live in the North Georgia Mountains in the USA. Married, two dogs. I’m a child of the 70’s, artist, karaoke singer, photographer, aspiring cook, Florida native, aunt to twin boys, recovering consumer, animal lover, optimist, green smoothie drinker, and hiker.

Self1: Why blogging, and why now?

Self2: Well, I originally started the blog in preparation for our West Coast Road Trip that we are taking starting Summer 2010, so we could keep in touch with family and friends, and they could see where we are and what we are doing. I thought the beginning posts would be about packing up, planning our route, and how to save money for a trip of this magnitude, but it’s turned into something else entirely. I am now posting about random things that I find interesting like vegan cooking and recipes, sustainable living, handmade product reviews from Etsy, and whatever else that inspires me to rant. I don’t really think anyone is listening…yet.

Self1: And what will you do once you are out west?

Self2: We will be working on organic farms for our room and board through an organization called WWOOF. There are also a few places along the way that we would like to visit. It’s going to be challenging, not just in general but because we are also bringing along our 2 mutts! We have no idea what we are doing, but that’s what makes it fun!

Self1:  What made you decide to do that?

Self2:  It’s complicated, you can read more about it on our travel blog, The Traveling Circus.   It just seems like our life’s path is leading us.  Everything is pointing us towards taking this trip.  It’s weird.

Self1: Anything else you want to add?

Self2: Yeah, how come you get to be Self #1?

Self1: Well, I’m the one that started this interview. I was first. What difference does it make?

Self2: Well, I’m the one who writes the posts. I should be #1.

Self1: Fine, you’re number one. Do you always argue with yourself like this?

Self1 (formerly Self2): Yes. Thank you.
