I Have A Dream

I actually have many dreams...here they are.

1. One day I hope to quadruple my blog hits per day. I know it's a silly dream and it won't really get me anywhere. Nonetheless it's a dream.

2. I once had a dream where I gave birth to 7 piglets. I remember feeling very ashamed in the dream when I didn't think my babies were beautiful.

3. I have a dream of visiting 100 different countries. So far I've been to 8.

4. I used to have a weekly dream about spiders. Yikes...I hate creepy crawlies.

5. I have a dream of getting an A in 301...we'll see how that goes!

6. I also dream of becoming a hair model. This is a newly acquired dream. My hairdresser mentioned it the last time I was at the salon. He took my number and I've been waiting for a call ever since. How cool would it be to get your hair done by a really good professional for free! It would be a DREAM come true.

I have many dreams...tell me what you think about mine...or mention some of yours!

Blogs About Things Besides Mothering

I feel that there are a plethora of mothering blogs. There are some baby/mamma blogs that I thoroughly enjoy reading. For example, I love reading mammatalk. The author of this blog is candid and frequently cracks me up. I also enjoy reading Holly Tried It. Her blog is insightful and interesting. Yet, for the most part...I'm really not into mamma blogs. I'm not a mom! I feel like I'm the only person who does not blog about family or children. Therefore, I'm starting a list of blogs that are not about children or husbands. Here goes....

1. The Diary of a Fatty. I was interested in this one because of the title. It still has me intrigued.

2. Becoming Minimalist. This topic caught my attention when I was moving and packing up a billion items. I found this blog and now I'm all about getting rid of possessions I do not need.

3. Blog Around the World.Want to connect with bloggers from different parts of the world? Here's the place to do it.

This is what I've come up with so far! Suggest some more blogs for me!

Have You Ever Wondered...

Here are a few things I've wondered about in my life

1) Why does asparagus make your urine smell?

2) Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?

3) Why are curtain rods so expensive?

4) Why do men enjoy football so much?

5) How is it that some people can have such incredibly horrible taste?

6) Why do people name their children, Vita Min, Cole Deggs, or Orangello?

Reasons To Camp with Your Honey

1. There's nothing to do but talk...so you'll definitely learn more about your beloved one.

2. If it's cold, there's no reason not to snuggle.

3. It gives you both a sense of adventure...even if you are only camping 5 feet away from your car!

4. The trip there gives you time to discuss the book you are both reading. (We are reading Love and Respect at a very slow rate...this gave us time to read more of it)>

5. You'll most likely share the cooking and dishes.

6. It will really make you appreciate your soft, bug free bed when you do arrive back home!.

Reasons To Try the New FIRM Wave

1. It eliminates monthly gym membership fees.

2. It works different muscles than the previous FIRM workout series.

3. It is fun!

4. It is a unique type of workout!

5. You don't have to be an elite athlete to use it....but I'm sure even the elite athlete would feel a difference after working out on it since it works different muscles.

B(LIST)fulness is Expanding!

I decided to start a blog that is specifically about one topic-Getting rid of things I don't need. I decided to name it minima(LIST). Check it out. I will be writing more on this blog soon! Don't give up on me yet!

Saving Money

How are you saving money during this time of "economic hardship?" Here's what my husband and I are doing.

1. Share a car. This can be fun. It can also be time consuming! I don't particularly enjoy sitting in a highschool parking lot waiting for my principal husband to finish his duties...but one car insurance bill is sure great! It also saves money on parking...I can't really pay to park a car that my husband has to drop me off in!

2. Use the dishwasher. My husband asked me the other day why I was using the dishwasher so much. I explained that it actually uses less water, soap and energy than I would if I doused everything in a sink full of soapy water. Plus it cleans WAY better. Don't believe me? Check out this article

3. Buy Scott toilet paper. The thousand sheet roll will never end...even though you'll want it to since it's not the softest toilet paper product out there. It's a lot better then newspaper or the corncobs people used in the days before toilet paper though.

4. Wear your underwear 5 days in a row. Just kidding!! I have heard this suggested though.

5. Take all of your showers at the gym...they can foot the waterbill...right? Okay, so I don't actually do this. I have heard of a guy who did this for a part of his summer.

6. Do you have any more ideas for me?
