Time, money, opportunities :) WBT

If I had the time, money, and opportunity to do something new, what would it be? I've been thinking about this all week. There are obviously lots of things I want to do. I think the top of my list would be to take a road trip. I think it'd be a great growing and learning experience.

I'd want to see both the east and west coasts, then cycle through the rest of the U.S.

I would LOVE to learn major languages: Spanish, Italian, German...and be fluent at them. I took German classes in High School, but if you don't use the language, it becomes lost. Unfortunately it happened to me. Same story for Spanish.

Another thing I'd really like to do is become an interior designer. You couldn't tell from my own place, but I LOVE decorating. It's so much fun! So, with unlimited resources, I would like to learn the art of that. :)

WBT -- travels!

I'm a girl who has only been out of her home state twice. Once to Canada, once to Disneyland, both on field trips. So, as you might imagine, I'm DYING to see more parts of the world! Although I don't have any plans, I have dreams. And they involve lots of sunshine.
My first is the most realistic. I want to take a road trip between July and August of any given year. It's typically the warmest during those times. I want to tour the U.S., and I want to spend my nights beneath the stars, with nature and the love of my life beside me. I miss the nights when I was 17, 18, with some of my friends...they'd have their guitars, we'd have beer, we'd be down by the river carefree, loving life in the middle of summer...I would love to leave all this and start over somewhere new, but first taking the long way to get there.
I would ideally like to see Australia. I'm so desperate that any time of the year would suit me. Although I don't like winter, even that would make me happy. Any part would be fine. I don't know what about it is so appealing to me, I just feel like we'd get along. It's about as far away from home as I could get, and that doesn't really have anything to do with it, but it doesn't hurt the decision making process, either.
Second on my list would be Rome, Italy. For starters, I LOVE most everything about Italians - the culture, the language, and most importantly, the FOOD! For Italy, I'd like to go when the sun could beam down my back while reading a long love story.
In the states, I want to see Tennessee. I want to visit the Grand Ol Opry. I LOVE country music. There's not a doubt in my mind that I'd fall in love with it, that it would feel more like home to me than anywhere else. Any time of year.

Those are my top four destinations. I don't think it's too far fetched, do you?

Inatimate object -- WBT (a week late)

--Sorry this is late!!!--
(I chose my lovely Blackberry)
I am respected by my owner. She doesn't pound on my parts when she's in a hurry, she's mostly patient when I'm tired and not at my fastest, and she even gave me a blanket that keeps me safe and warm in case she drops me! If I'm down on my luck and feeling like I'm gonna leave this world, she quickly plugs me in and gives me lots of caffeine that keeps me going for at least 2 days. She doesn't like me to leave her.
I don't really like when she keeps me stuffed in her purse. It doesn't happen very often, but I'm afraid of the dark, so it's scary when it does. I know she doesn't do it on purpose, but because of my blanket, I don't fit in her pocket. At least I have my friend that plays music with me. :)
I'm even with her at work, and I hear everything she tells her co-workers, guests, and I can even read her thoughts to her friends and boyfriend!! Boy, if something ever did happen between us, I'd have some JUICY STORIES! Well, okay, maybe not so much, but I like to think so :)
Someday, she's gonna be a really good mama to a real baby -- I can tell just by the way she treats me!

Our Love Story
