While at starbucks this morning

I splurged on something. I saw this really neat calander style journal. There's lots of room to right and its all dated. I bought it today with the intention of writing down thoughts for blogs! I always come up with the BEST blog topics when i'm not anywhere near a computer or in the middle of somethng. I'm so excited! lol. I already have 3 blog topics written down.

but they'll have to wait. right now i'm chilling with my parents watching NCIS and waiting on dinner.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

A Question For You.

What do you dream about?
What is your dream?
Think Big!! Don't think "oh i want to finish tiling the bathroom" I'm talking about what do you want to accomplish in your life time? What do you dream about?

I dream about owning my own interior design firm. but make it affordable. I want to help the hectic mother of 2 who works all day and needs help organizing her life and adding a touch of class to her house.

I dream about retiring and buying and maintaining our favorite inn on the coast.

I dream of having a career that can allow me to be home when my kids get home from school

I dream of going to germany to the little town where my husband's family originates.

I dream of owning a bar. The kind of bar where you go to hang out, maybe play pool and poker. The kind of bar where everybody knows your name.

I dream of opening a resturant with my husband. He makes the best food from ideas out of his head. I think he'd be an AMAZING chef and business man.

I dream of opening a bakery. I would love love love to make my living making cupcakes and doughnuts. I think that would be A.Maz.Ing!!

I dream of getting pregnant and having a happy and healthy baby.

I dream of building our DREAM house on a HUGE hunk of land.

I dream of having enough land to grow all our own veggies and fruits.


What do you dream about? What is on you're life to-do list??

Where were you?

I know, another 9-11 post, go figure. But it holds such a profound place in my heart, i need to get it out.

I will never forget what happened. It took my dad to war for over a year. It has changed the military forever. And i am PROUD to serve and protect this nation every day of my life.

When i was searching for images to add to my blog, i came across several of the planes, and the towers. I just don't think its appropriate. Today is to honor and reflect. Bless the lives that were taken. Bless the lives that are forever changed.

Wish Day: 09.09.09

So I was inspired by a post today. B at cuttings on a blog wrote about her wishes. And i was inspired to create my own list of wishes.

Today is 09.09.09.
Today is Wish Day!

*I wish for peace for my uncle. May his amazing life not be ended by an ugly ending.
*I wish for family unlike I've had.
*I wish for the blessing to mother children
*I wish to see my husband as a father. He's going to be amazing.
*I wish for a day where I won't have to worry if I'll be able to afford groceries or not week after week.
*I wish for the career I've dreamed of.
*I wish for my husband to find the job he's worked so hard for. He put in over 4 years for the 'unfailable' job. He feels like its failed him. I hate that he feels like a failure.
*I wish to move out of my tiny tiny apartment.
*I wish for more time to write, blog, read, and organize.
*I wish for more space. not from anyone, but space to grow with someone.
*I wish for a perfect time and place where I could open a bakery and i could live, work and breathe... CUPCAKES!
*I wish for a happy and healthy relationship. I love my husband with every fiber of my being.

What do you wish as wish day comes to a close?

My Next List

How OCD is it that I'm planning in advance to make a list? i mean seriously?

but if i don't tell you, I'll forget. So i had to remind myself.

So I just posted about my reading list and i was thinking i should do a list of my wish list reading list. The books i want to read, but haven't gotten too yet.

The only way i can keep track is by having a wish list on amazon.

This way i can get your opinions on books.
Did you like them?
Did you LOVE them?
Should i totally skip them?

The recommendations i got from my last post I'm adding to my list by the way.

Thanks for helping me remind myself.
