Plotting and Trading Spaces
So I have decided that I need to be more healthy.
like being conscious about how much ham and cake and cookies and soda and ice cream and candy and other sugary, non-beneficial snacks I consume.
and really, I want to work on expanding my tastes. I want to learn to like more vegetables and more ways to use fruits in recipes....i want to expand my cooking to more than just convient single meals and desserts....lol....
...and I might even try setting a goal like 50 situps/crunches a day -- 25 in the morning and 25 whenever in the rest of the day....even if its right before bed....
and i still have this burning desire *lol that phrase provokes giggles from me*
to learn and progress in swing dancing. I find this amusing and see no particular harm in it, as long as I am aware of myself during it.
And I am almost to the point of...*da-da-daa!* going and paying for a class by MYSELF!
which may not sound particularly grand or impressive....but for the reserved, and easily frightened/intimitaded person I currently am, this is a HUGE step forward....at least, I hope...... *lol*
That, and that I have a dream room almost worked out.
I have really wished that I could be on the "trading spaces" show so that my room would get all tricked out, per se....but I don't think that there is a high chance of that happening....
.....actually, now that i think of it, there is a better chance of me getting on the show "what not to wear" then on "trading spaces"....wow! lol.....the irony.....
well anyway....i have a rough list of things I want to change about my current room, and what i want to my room no matter where i live to work.... and I'll probably just keep adding to it until it is finished :
I want a large and comfy hammock that can be detached from one wall during the day, or at least when I don't want it strung across my room.
I want NO dressers. NONE. They are, to me, a most unnessary way of using space. I like to be able to see what I own, and not shut it away behind big square pieces of "Furniture".
I much prefer shelves, hooks, racks, and hangers and such -- even clear drawers/boxes are better than big wooden dressers. *Have you got the impression that I just don't want any more wooden dressers in my life?* lol
I want either: a big bean bag chair or a comfy loveseat
lots of GIANT comfy "floor" pillows that are meant to be sat on
a bead curtain. I am still not sure if it should be for my bedroom door, my closet, to accent my curtains, or to accent a wall or so....but I have always wanted some type of bead curtain..... :)
a chinese or similar folding screen
a long mirror or a lot of smaller mirrors that I can hang up one one wall to make the room seem bigger and to use as mirrors were intended
I think I want my ceiling painted a light enough shade of blue to also help the room feel larger and cooler
I want to have all my books, cds, and papers orgainized and able to be displayed or stored as the case deems.
I want white christmas lights around the edge of the ceiling.
I want some sort of painting, on the walls...but i can't decide if i want pictures, just colors, or small mural-ish paintings on the very walls....
