March 18, 2005 ( Friday, March 18, 2005 ) So today is my day off and I was intending to go for a nice long bike ride..BUT it decided to snow yesterday and it looks cold out...and I feel wimpy. Funny how something can seem to go so right (the weather) and then one day it's like...nope, no more sunshine days, no more warmth, just snow and overcast skies. Blech...I wanna just hole up inside the house and watch TV and drink mint tea. Last night Scott and I got to talking about how we want our house to look (our dream house that is). I got really excited about his ideas (except for the black walls in the bedroom :P) His idea for an entertainment room sounds really cool. One day we'll have our own house and be able to create it into what we want it to be. I don't know if it's because I've been watching home-makeover shows lately or because I've been working in the paint department but I have this urge just to redo a room. Sadly our little basement suite doesn't provide much in terms of space, but that's ok...it's cozy..sometimes in the 70's basement sort of way...I just thank god that there is no orange shag carpet...My grandparents had red shag carpet in their living room and it was like 30 years old. They also had this mural painted on the wall (i think it was a trend in like the 70's). It was of a beach and the ocean...it looked tacky but it was still cool. Their house was always filled with strange little nick-nacks that I can so clearly remember. My grandpa's pipe stand next to the recliner. I never saw him smoke a pipe once, yet he had this collection on the table. The backwards clock that went counter-clockwise (that REALLY made it hard to learn to tell time.) The weird 60's inflatable cat (not in a sexual way, just in a toy way.) And there was this parrot (not a real or stuffed one, just one of those fake birds) on a stand in my Grandma's room...so many strange things and I wonder what ever became of them. Who got the clock? The pipes? The cat? I only got a few things when my grandma moved out of the house. A carved wooden camel from Egypt. A large trunk that my grandpa took to the war. A foreign coin collection and these little skunks that were made out of walnut shells. Funny how we keep the strangest things. Funny how those things that I grabbed to have something that reminded me of them and of that house, could one day be family heirlooms. I wonder if I have anything that people would want. Feeling:
