After I read Kaili's comment on my last blog about enjoying my "me" time, it got me to thinking. Thinking about what I would like to do in this all to brief life we are afforded. Here is my list. Jen should love this one as she is the "Queen of Lists".
In no particular order:
- I would LOVE to canoe. I think of a long ago seen picture of Pierre Trudeau canoeing. I have wanted to do that for so long. Not with anyone else. Just by myself. I think it would be so calming. Like a Zen meditation.
- I would love to paint pictures. Paul bought me a wonderful easel, loads of canvas, paints and brushes. I have the desire but each time I think about what I will paint, I draw a blank. I think I may move it out to the deck when the weather settles. I'll have a lot of inspiration in my backyard.
- I would love to have my own restaurant. I would never make it in a small town Paul says, because my menu would be so foreign to the locals. I would make hummus, miso soup, all types of curries and the like.
- I would love to be a contract worker for interior design. I love to move furniture around and stage rooms. Lots of fun.
- I would love to get up early, before Athena wakes up, every single day. Trouble is, Paul likes to stay up late with me and she likes to wake early. It is so nice to get ready, have my Green Tea and read the morning paper all before she comes down from her room. I would even like to squeeze yoga in there.
- I would like to run. I know that it would not be prudent for me to start at this age. Walking in a wooded area like my sister in North Carolina has available to her sounds equally as alluring.
- I would like a pie in the face. Just kidding. Although that was on my list when I was in my 20's. Nuts hey?
- I would like to swim naked. Isn't that odd? Actually, i did that last year in our pool outside. Only a 10ft pool but still. That is about as wild as this woman gets. Paul wants to put a bigger pool in so I am sure I can do that one again soon.
Anyway, those are my desires for my life at the moment. If I asked you what yours were, what would you say?

I would love to be up and ready before Abby each day. It makes such a difference in my mood. But even though I go to bed at 9:00 I still can't get myself out of bed at 7:00.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go post that picture of you nude in the swimming pool on my blog.
Wow, I inspired a post, cool! I think your list is great and I think very attainable (is that a word?). Robin and I also dream of opening a resturant and having a funky menu, we have the same problem, it wouldn't go over to well here in this small town, and we aren't giving up this cute small town for that dream at this time anyway.
Jen, you crack me up! :)
I think I have gotten up twice before Jaia, in his lifetime, but it was nice, I got SO MUCH done, before he woke.
Hey Michelle, I can relate to some of your list. I too would like to try painting. As far as restaraunts go, I love hummus. I served it at a candle party I had and the guests did not like it at all. I did not get rave reviews. Perhaps wrong crowd?? Pie in the face made me giggle.
Naked in a pool? Maybe if I knew there were no cameras and no one else around. Even still I would be down right scared, especially if Jen got a hold of the photos and threatend to post them for all the world to see. Hee hee.
