Hobbit home anyone?

I reading my daily read list of blogs and I stumbled upon this post on on Cup of Jo's blog.

A hobbit house!

Isn't it amazing? I've had dreams of living in a hobbit house with the future little family that I'll have someday. A hobbit house. You only see those in Lord of the Rings where everything is fictional, where you find yourself wishing that there were guys that really looked like Aragon or an elf...or maybe that's just me.

Either way. I really want a hobbit house now. There's just something infinitely homey with the way that hobbits live and how their homes look. Who could resist having a huge fireplace to warm everything up? Of course, I'd want a few modern twists like plumbing, flush-able toilets, showers and baths (I think it'd be awesome to take a bath in a hobbit style house), hot water, electricity and maybe a small stove and oven. Actually, that'd be against the hobbit way of life wouldn't it? Maybe I'll just have to start gardening and perfect the art of baking in a kiln as well as dutch oven cooking. I think it'd be fun...although I'm not completely sold on going without a flush-able toilet.

I'll keep dreaming for now though. I may be a total nerd for wanting a hobbit house, but I think it'd be dreamy to live in house like that.

I just need to find an elf or an real-life Aragon to share it with.

I wouldn't mind finding an Aragon either.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
