My Future House: Part 3
As a continuation of my "Future House" blog, I give you the third. Since the holidays are now upon us I thought it was only fitting to post some holiday inspired images.
I love this table. I love that it can fit so many people and they can all see each other! Long tables tend to lost that effect. I also love those two windows in the back. They have deep ledges, which are perfect to place food on. I am, of course, thinking of Thanksgiving. I would love to host Thanksgiving in my home, just one year. I have this whole menu thing planned too. But I think that's a different blog.
This bay window is gorgeous. I have always wanted huge windows that face some random beautiful piece of land I can look out on and enjoy some cake and hot tea. I have also dreamed of having a giant Christmas tree to put in front of one of those. Just so the entire world could see the awesomeness of my holiday spirit. Speaking of which...
DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOUR HEART FULL OF SPIRIT! The huge, bright Christmas tree. The fireplace with the stockings hanging from it. The candles. The dog! This is all I want.

Places to Visit: Greece
I decided to start a new set of blogs and list all the places I want to visit. I have a passport and it's been used once! That's just wrong. Being poor still does suck, but I can always dream. I think one thing I would always look for in a possible husband is the love of adventure, and the need to visit many different places. Of course, this would have to mean a tolerance for other cultures and sometimes uncomfortable situations. But I really don't care. :)
Place #1: Greece
Reason #1: Look at that view! I love how the place just seems to sit on a hill, and you can see that gorgeous blue water all around. I would give anything to be able to wake up in the morning with that view in my window. It would take all my will power not to skip to the nearest dock and jump right off. I'm pretty sure all these views would be in Santorini, so that is where I must go.
Reason #2: The food! Have you seen some of the foods they eat? It's fresh and natural. It's a lot! True, I wouldn't be able to hang with all the drinking, but I would sure try. I'm sure the overload of delicious food would soak it right up anyway. Haha. I do have to admit, I'm one of the most pickiest eaters in the world, but if I had the chance to eat anything there, I would.
Reason #3: The Acropolis. I mean... seriously! The history dork in me is going *squee* just thinking about walking through it. As a HUGE fan of Greek mythology, that city is at the top of my list. Home of the Parthenon... need I say more?
Reason #4: The hot men. No explanation required.

My Future House: Part 2
I had said before I would do another one of these, so I'm doing it now. Again, these are just some things that I would want for my dream house, if I were building one right now. I'll have to go through and find ones I haven't done for my next post of this type. But for now, these three will do:
I think this is amazing. It's like a little pool in the floor of a greenhouse type structure. It looks like the most amazing place to take a swim. And it might even be fun for boats, of the small nature of course. I love the colors reflected in the water from the glass ceiling. I would spend all my days in there.
This bathroom is perfect, except the color of it. I like darker color bathrooms best, but the layout of this one is perfect. I love that huge shower in the back, great space for dancing. And the tub is the best size for a bubble bath. If it just had the toilet in its own little room, I'd buy it right now.
I love this bed space. I would image there are stairs right where the camera is, and it goes down to the actual room. But the idea of having the bed in this little space is just so cozy to me. I love the windows above it too. It could make it just like camping. You can watch the stars and thunderstorms as you sleep. Pure bliss.

Childhood Shows
So I was just talking to my friend about shows we watched when we were kids, and started watching all the theme songs/intros on Youtube. I thought I would list all my favorites here, and maybe put some links to the theme songs for fun. NOTE: I did not watch all these all the time. As I grew up, the shows I watched every week changed, but I still love them now. I didn't live in front of the TV. Most of these shows were on Saturday mornings and after school anyway. Enjoy!
The Magic School bus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGiW-jLYM6U
Duck Tales (Pretty much my #1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMU2NwaaXEA
Pokemon (Yes, I watched it after school. What of it?!?!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux8mJUexBcM
Chip n' Dale-Rescue Rangers (My other #1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e5q6ubDlZE
Bill Nye: The Science Guy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49nesMuk6pE
This is one show I probably shouldn't have been allowed to watch, because I made it my mission to do every experiment I saw on it. Haha. Curse you Bill!

They just don't make them like this anymore. This one is on the line of childhood and teenager, but I stated watching it as a kid, so I count it.
If any of the above links don't work for some reason, just search the title of the show. It's not that hard. Hope you enjoyed all the flashbacks. I might do another post like this, but with shows from High School. Those were a whole different class. Haha.

This is one show I probably shouldn't have been allowed to watch, because I made it my mission to do every experiment I saw on it. Haha. Curse you Bill!

My future house
I am constantly seeing pictures of amazing architecture and room-scapes that make me want to live in them! I thought I would post a few here. It's hard to chose just a few favorites because there are so many. But I'm forcing my self, pretending that I'm building a house today! Ha. I wish.
First, this house. I believe it was in the movie "Practical Magic" but I absolutely love this house! I want it! It looks like a house from a story book. I love the white fence and the wrap around porch. I love the tower and the little balcony on the second floor. <3
This I want for reading! And napping of course, but mostly reading. I want a huge bookcase on that back wall so I can lounge in that amazing looking floating cloud and be at peace. And its so bright! Perfect light for reading a great novel. Preferably written by my best friend!
Are these stairs amazing? Or are the amazing?!?! True, wrap around stairs cause problems moving, but I couldn't give two shits! They are gorgeous. I love the paintings on the wall too. I've always wanted big paintings in my house. I think if I had stairs like THIS I could have paintings like that.
I think that's all for now, but I might post more another day. I just love looking at houses and design photos.

Truths for Mature Humans
1. Part of a best friends job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you suppose to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions at #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. (2pm!)
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever technology is invented after Blue Ray?
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my document that I didn't make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers saved to my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with beer than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "avoid this neighborhood" routing option.
18. I have a had time deciphering between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, drivers!
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear get dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty and you can wear them forever!
22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and pinning the tail on the donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 ft. away in 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
24. The first testicular guard, "The Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize their brains are important too.
