To Do

Updated April 4, 2010 When I finally own my very own home, I’m going to be so proud and I’ll be honored to hire an artist to create a sketch of my home. And I’ll keep it forever, a reminder of my first home.

Completed August 2003 Set a date. It’s a magical thing. Something you want to do? One of those always-wanted-to-but-haven’t-found-the-right-time things? Set a date. Give yourself a definite goal. Give yourself a deadline. Because here I am. All because of a date I set.

Completed the first time in November 2004 I thought that this was one thing that I would never be able to finish. I *always* make my bed. If I wake up late, then I make my bed as soon as I get home from work. If I’m too busy all day, then I make my […]

The best part about having a fireplace is that you can use it to make s’mores.

Updated December 1, 2009 I remember the house my parents were living in when I headed off to kindergarten, but it’s not the house they were living in when I was born. My parents were young (both 19) and broke when I was born. I don’t imagine that the home I first lived in is […]

Updated March 28, 2010 Even though I can’t remember ever laying in a hammock, I still think it’s the ultimate nap experience. It would be so nice to hang out under some trees in the afternoon on a Sunday and read a book until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any more. Of course, even […]
