Wish List: A Lei'd Back Vacation.

"I know what the Aloha Spirit means. I hope it is contagious for it could change the world."

~Jackie Kennedy Onassis

I've never been. And I'd like to go. Someday. I know you're all thinking, "But she's traveled everywhere. Waa waa,she hasn't been to Hawaii." I know. But recently, I've become aware that nearly everyone I know has been to the islands except for me. I've been told it's really wonderful to go with someone you're in love with because you just can't help but feel romance in the air. Maybe that's what I'm waiting for. Maybe.

Wish List: It's It.

"Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself."
~Swami Sivananda

Remember how I love It's Its? I wrote about here. Ah yes, now you remember. You'll remember how I calculated the cost of getting them shipped to me and how it was too expensive, so I decided to just ignore the craving. Yeah, well, the craving hasn't gone away... a year and a half later.

Off to eat my salad, instead.

Wish List: Skinny.

"Small rooms or dwellings discipline the mind, large ones weaken it."
~Leonardo Da Vinci

I'm a city dweller at heart and in San Francisco, I always lived in a flat or house that shared walls with both neighbors, so these skinny houses seem right up my alley. Also: less to clean, less to decorate, less storage. Hence, you would be forced to constantly remain de-cluttered of unimportant items. The impact on the environment would be far less, and in return so would your own utility bills. I would love to call one of these charming abodes (or one like it), home.

This one's in South Carolina:

This one is in Amsterdam:

Another in Amsterdam:

Also in Amsterdam (I'm seeing a trend here):

How about this one in Massachusetts:

Or the narrowest one in NYC:

Or this one in Virginia:

Or I could take off to Toronto (LOVE this one!):

Amsterdam Skinnies and South Carolina here
Massachusetts Skinny here
NYC House here
Spite House (Virginia) here
Tiny Toronto here

Wish List: This T-shirt.

Wish List: Swimming with Beluga Whales.

A couple of months ago, I mentioned in this post that beluga whales make me happy. I just love them. Since elementary school, they've been on my list of favorite animals. I loved them so much, that I did a report on them in 4th grade. I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find it. (I just found it! Man, 4th grade writing is sometimes painful to read, but I got an A+ and my teacher apparently thought it was "interesting" and "fascinating to read.")

So on my wish list is a swim with the Belugas at Sea World or somewhere else. Since belugas primarily roam in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters, swimming with them would require a wetsuit and a tenacious ability to endure cold water. But aren't they cute? I think it would be worth it. I went swimming in my dad's new pool years ago, soon after they moved in (before the heater was turned on) and the water was in the 50s or 60s. I could do it. :)

Remember Raffi? Well, Raffi sang about the belugas. "Baby Beluga" The beluga trio below looks like they're singing. The lyrics are posted below. Come on, start singing.

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.

Baby beluga, baby beluga, Is the water warm?
Is your mama home, with you so happy?

Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.
See the water squirting out of your spout.

Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga, sing your little song.
Sing for all your friends; we like to hear you.

When it's dark, you're home and fed.
Curled up snug in your waterbed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out.
Good night, little whale, good night.

Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga. With tomorrow's sun,
another day's begun. You'll soon be waking.

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the go.

So looking at the Sea World site, it looks like it's a mere $170 + park admission. SO worth it! Here's all the info. They offer all kinds of behind the scenes tours. So fun. That's it... I'm doing it next summer!

Wish List: Hemnes 6-Drawer Chest.

What do I do when I don't have any money? I dream of all the ways I want to spend it when I do have it. So a wish list, I have. And my wish list, I'll begin to share. :)

For starters, I've been eyeing this for some time. Then I saw it at KDJ's house. I like it. I need more storage. And I like the look (and the price). So I want this:

You can find it here.
