Ah, dreaming, its what gets me through the slower parts
(read: less action-packed) parts of my day.
Aside from the obvious dreaming about future-super-star, my dreams of
late have consisted of the following random things:
Having an Elliptical – Skiing is AWESOME for getting
me back where I want with cardio fitness.
I can cover so much ground and work hard while having a ton of fun. Unfortunately this will end come April. I wish I had an elliptical to keep up with my
cardio fitness when it ended. My ankles
are poo-tastic from swimming, as I’ve stated before, and while I’m definitely
working to strengthen them, they’ll never withstand what they once did. (I still hope to one day accomplish running a
½ marathon, though!) How perfect would
an elliptical be? I could watch TV, read
a book, listen to an audiobook, read/catch up on blogs, all while
exercising. I try to stay away from the
TV now because I do nothing but lie around or eat while I’m watching it often
times, but if I had an elliptical I could make some rule about having to
exercise while I watched a show. One
day, I will do this.
Toilet training the cat(s) I will one day have – I grew
up with kitties. Once I’m settled I plan
to get one, probably two. A good friend
recently adopted two littermates and is in the process of toilet-training
them. I agree COMPLETELY with this
decision and think it is absolutely BRILLIANT.
Like her, I love kitties and cuddling with them and laughing at their
antics, but kitty-litter DISGUSTS me.
Cat shit particularly strikes a chord with me. Yuck-o.
(Yes, my cats growing up were all indoor-outdoor, but as a
semi-bird-enthusiast I plan to have indoor kitties.) So, why not toilet train the little
devils?! Lots of folks have done it. Hello, Meet
the Parents/Fockers/whathaveyous, anyone?
I’m not saying I want the kitties to flush, but imagine the $$ saved
buying kitty litter! Maybe I’m absurd,
but this sounds fun to me.
Amp up my GIS skills – I think about this often at
work. I wish I was super savvy and could
do all the super-cool things that Arc software allows one to do, but when it comes down to it I’m still a
nature nerd. Wildlife is what tickles my
fancy more than mapping. I’ll run out
the door any day to bask in the sunshine following some creature rather than
sit at a computer. Due to this, this
dream is unlikely to come to fruition.
But, I am picking up bunches of skills along the way with my continuing
education via the interwebz through Oregon State. Becoming proficient enough to produce maps
that make me happy and get the point I’m trying to convey across is enough for
me!
What fun/crazy/silly dreams have you come up with lately?
WHAT?! Potty training cats? I've never even heard of it, but that's awesome! I'd take a pet that's "potty" trained for sure! You should buy cats and toilet train them and then sell them. Because I'd buy one! Haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck on the elliptical! We had one and never used it. I prefer the treadmill, but I also don't do things like ski.
Good luck potty training the kitten (when you get them)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could potty train horses. Or maybe just "house break" them like dogs. I hate it when you bring a horse inside, and they immediately soil the nice clean aisle. They had all day to do that outside!!! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree about the cats. Some thoughts - mountain biking?? you could get one of those stand things to put in the house. Triathalon?? Or this one - it interests me - there's a local club that does it in a park near me.
