MONDAY NIGHT - NO REHEARSAL - NO SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT!

I can't believe it - a night off!!!! I am so excited I could spit!! Ryan and I got some supper, stopped by the store and then came home where I was finally able to cut some brush out of my driveway AND I've done a load of laundry!!!!  PRAISE THE LORD and pass the Bounce!!  Ryan's bedroom floor is clear for the first time in two weeks, and I'm pretty sure I can get a load of those multiplying towels done tonight too!

I'm sitting here in my bedroom waiting for the dryer to buzz, and I had this "dream" of mine again - A LARGER HOUSE.

Now mind you, there is only Ryan and me (and the birds and dogs) and a two bedroom house should be big enough - but I want more ROOM - especially CLOSETS (I only have two and one is microscopic).

Here is my dream home (it never hurts to dream - what would we do if we couldn't dream?):

THREE bedrooms.  It would be soooo nice to have an extra room for visiting friends.

WALK-IN CLOSETS in each bedroom.  And I mean WALK-IN - big enough so that I could actually hang summer stuff on one side and winter stuff on the other, shoes underneath, shelves, and storage area

TWO AND ONE-HALF BATHROOMS.  I think I would be in heaven if I could actually go in the bathroom when I wanted too - Ryan and I on way tooooo similar a schedule..LOL.  I would like a big "garden tub" with whirlpool jets so that I could put this old body in one and just let the water flow!!!

A LAUNDRY ROOM.  Oh what heaven - a place for my washer and dryer, a table that I could fold clothes on, a rack that I could hang clothes on and storage space for all cleaning supplies - heaven I tell you - just heaven.

AN "ADEQUATE" LIVING ROOM.  Nothing fancy - don't need it, but would love to have a room that I could "close off" that would stay clean for any unexpected visitors.

KITCHEN:  Now I don't cook. Really.  I don't.  I know how, but am just too tired to do it.  But I would love a kitchen with lots of cabinets, counter space and "built in" appliances.  Eat in kitchen is fine with me. I want a walk-in  PANTRY where I can put canned goods, dog food, bird food, etc.  Doesn't have to be fancy - just servicable.

A FAMILY ROOM:  A place with a BIG comfortable couch with big soft cushions, a rocking chair, a recliner, a big screen television (I'm still dreaming), lots of built in bookcases and places for books and videos and DVDs.  A big table where we could play board games and I could work my puzzles, and do some crafty stuff.  Ahhhhhhhhh (sigh)

A ROOM SOLELY FOR STORAGE.  This is my dream room.  A room with shelves, racks, bins, places for me to PUT things that I find on sale.  Now I find them on sale, bring them home and they disappear - never to be seen again.  So frustrating.

NO CARPETS EXCEPT IN THE LIVING ROOM.  I love hardwood floors with accent rugs wherever.  Also it's easier to clean when you have little dogs.

Thus are my dreams.  Will they ever come true?  Don't know. BUT I'll continue to dream.

You just described my house! Its not that great there is such a thing as too much space! And hardwood floors show everything, and make your feet cold. And I have 3 bathrooms, just more to clean!
