I want to be richer

We are so totally set!

Things have been looking a little bleak lately - funny since my energy levels have been way up, and I’ve been pushing Carlita out of the way to do the vacuuming. Practically unheard of! - and for a while there we thought that we were going to have to skip summer this year, as if Santa forgot to bring us summer vacation, you know, if Christmas was in the summer, like down under (those freaks!)

But it appears we’re catching a much needed break. I can hold on to my road trip fantasies, which include a car stereo we don’t yet own, and a toddler who just loves to drive for hours on end - which I’m sure is why it’s called a fantasy. I am also fantasizing about the route I would pick out for us, were I to actually bother to do anything of the sort, but we all know I’m not, and so it will surprise me greatly if we actually make it out the driveway for a trip further than to the mall. The route would the scenic, with lots of opportunity for photo-taking.

There has also been much talk about “dumpsters” being “hired” to take away all the overflow of junk that is threatening to burst this house at the seams. As a sort of side note to that fantasy is the one where we also clear parts of the old chicken house to make room for a future studio for me. But then I AM big on dreaming.

And then, then there is the one fantasy where I make sweet love to my husband. The one where I feel the force of life growing, once more, inside my belly, until I burst in agony and joy.

We don’t know if, we don’t know when, but it is the guessing that keeps me going.
