Outer Banks Dream Vacation!!

I’ve been saying for a while now that I could really use a vacation and after checking out this amazing house in North Carolina I’m in awe. The pictures of this house on the Carolina Designs’ website will truly make you wish you called that place home. I absolutely love the design of the house. It has an old country charm that you don’t find in many rental homes. I love the beautiful wood decor. It’s funny because If I owned a house like that I would use many of the same furniture pieces. The openness of the rooms are my favorite. Who wants to vacation in a cluttered space!

I also love the large pool. I can just imagine unwinding in that pool after the long and hot summer I’ve had. The only bad thing about staying in a place like that would be leaving! I would seriously have to consider moving to North Carolina after that. If I could stay in one of these Outer Banks vacation rentals I would take my mom and my Goddaughter with me. We’ve all had a pretty rough year so far and I couldn’t imagine a better place to relax and regroup right about now.

Game Playing…

I’m the only person I know who has never owned any typing of gaming system. Even as a child. My cousins owned them and I would play with theirs occasionally, but I never really had the desire to play those things often. I was always much more fond of designing clothing, doing puzzles, and being creative with my hands and mind. I never really thought about having fun with a game. Whenever I did play the game systems I did have a lot of fun though. But I would always play Jeopardy or something like that. I admit I also loved Mario Brothers.

It’s funny because I think more about game systems now that I’m older than I ever did as a child. I guess that’s because it makes me think of my youth. And it would be nice to own something like a playstation 3 to kill time when I’m bored and unwind with when I’m stressed out. I wonder if it would be weird to own my first game system in my twenties!

Bring On The Snow!

Just when I was starting to believe that the extremely hot August days were behind me, we get a heat wave! Yesterday and today has been about 100 degrees with humidity. Tomorrow will be more of the same. I’m so over this. This is the exact reason that I hate the summer so much. I’ll be so happy when the seasons change. I was hoping September would be better than August, but it’s the first day of the new month and the heat wave is still alive!

I would love to be somewhere cold right about now. I know there has to be cold winter-like conditions somewhere in the world. I need to find that place! When winter actually does come I bet I will probably complain about it being too cold. Lol. But at least in the winter I can just put extra clothes on. Plus if it snows I can whip out the snow tubes. There’s just nothing good about this heat though.

It’s A Job…

I’ve been complaining a lot about my job lately, but I think things are starting to get a little better. At least right now they are. I have the type of job that goes really great some months and then other months it’s pretty unbearable. No matter what happens though, I’m thankful to at least have a job. I know so many people who are out of work and would just love the opportunity to work and make money. I just wish my job had more stability and benefits. It could be at lot worse though.

Another reason I’m thankful for this job is the flexibility. You can’t beat that. It is a little stressful though. Not as stressful as some jobs; such as doctors, lawyers, clowns, construction workers, etc. Lol. People who work in those fields must really love their jobs. Sometimes I envy people who have construction jobs because they typically make good money, but then I think about the heights, climbing ladders and working in the heat and I see why they make so much!
