30/30... Something You Crave

30/30
Question #16
Something You Crave.

I am learning a few things about myself with this 30 questions in 30 days series.

1. It's not always easy to think about the answer to some of these questions
and
2. Obviously when I do come up with something... it is often ends up being multiple answers.
(That's the Gemini in me)

So much for following directions.

Ok
I decided to make sure I understood exactly what the meaning of "Crave" is
so I looked
it up.
According to Merriam Webster Dictionary
This is what it means.


a. to ask for earnestly:
b. to want greatly:
c.to yearn for crave:
d. to have a strong inward desire:



So I wouldn't say that I "Crave"
or Yearn or have a great desire ...

Alright I am lying I crave alot of things..
Not really really bad.. but ...
I'm not gonna lie...there are some things that I wouldn't mind possessing...

Here is the list.

Right about now I could really go for a bowl of Haydon's Lobster Bisque soup.
This stuff is.....
To die for!

Heck if I'm gonna really go all out I would also really LOVE a
homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (or three or four) and a
Starbucks Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate too.
Just saying.

Some other things I am kind of lusting after are

The Nike Shox ...
"One day...these WILL be mine.."
"Oh yes...
YOU Will be mine !!!"


Next on my "Wish/Crave" list
is a shining set of ALL CLAD pots and pans
( That is IF ... I ever win the lottery)
Yes...
They are the bomb diggity
Not only are they sturdy ... oven safe... and cook like a dream..
they are shiny and pretty..


What?
Speaking of the bomb diggity
the other kitchen crave item is the

One can only dream of these bad boys..

They are I am afraid also a bit pricey.
Worth every penny.
but still Pricey.
"You and I my friends I'm afraid will probably never cohabitate."

Ok... out of the kitchen and on to the new hobby/interest.
Photography..
I can't wait for the spring class Maria and I are going to take.
( I crave SPRING... and.. the class)
but in the mean time I have been perusing some sites and found some
lovely gadgets that I'd think I'd like to play with...
IF
only
If
I had the extra money.
apparently this is a must have...



This Gorillapod is more of a
Fun Have.



Which brings us to the Mac Daddy of what I would sell my luggage for.

The next three items...

Items so out there...
that I can only allow myself to dream the impossible dream.
and that is...
Wood Floors


A Stripper..
( Wallpaper Stripper dirty minds)



and
a painter..

If I had all three of these things..
OH
MY
Gosh !!!!
That would mean the look and feel of my home would change completely.
I grant you
that in it's day the tasteful
wall to wall to wall to wall
wallpaper was happening..
But guess what..
it ain't happening anymore..
Someone come and please rip the 80's off these walls.

All I can say is if..

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
(Sorry I just had to take a moment and roll around the floor in laughter
at the absurdity of the thought of this happening )

But...IF those three things were to actually happen?
I would feel like the Queen of England....
Oprah...
Martha Stewart
and a couple of Disney Princesses
all wrapped up in one!

For now...
I just cannot forsee too many of the things I crave for materializing..
well other than the lobster bisque.. because after all Valentines day is coming .... and I am a cheap date.

Ultimately..everything I listed are just things..
so If I wanted to be truly altruistic..
I guess I should opt for
instead...


I know...
it's such a pageant answer but... hey..
it'd be nice too.

    I completely understand about the wood floors....that is a dream of mine for my kitchen too.

    As for the stripping of wallpaper....I would be more than happy to help you with the stripping...our home was nothing but wallpaper when we bought it. As for the painting....I would help but that isn't my most favorite thing to do...but for you, I would give it a go :) So, if and when, (needs to be summer), lol....sign me up!!

    Miss seeing you my friend. If not today than Monday or Wednesday...capish :)

    OMG Lori
    How long did it take you to get it all off?..
    I would never put you through that.I can hardly bare the thought of putting MYSELF through it..
    Ugh.
    I know it would make a big difference.
    Sorry I missed you today.. You know how it's been for me... somehow.. I find myself a bit unmotivated to go. ( Hmmmm I wonder why?)
    I should be at Zumba on Monday.
    Feels like I haven't seen you in ages...
    Come back little Sheba..lol
