I want to live in an beautiful stately home.

I want to my own Midnight Garden where I can escape to with a good book.

I want a farm …with hired-help.

I want a field full of sheep like Beatrix Potter’s.

I want a slow-paced lifestyle where I can ride horses all day.

I want to explore old castles and have picnics amongst it’s rolling hills.

I want to live on the English countryside.

I’m sure it’ll change again and again over the years but this what my idea of retirement looks like right now.

What’s yours?

My goals from now until April:

• Absolute NO clubbing or alcohol.
• Get body into optimal shape.
• Keep all blogs up-to-date.
• Put 3Gs into my “special” fund.
• Personal shopping budget: $200/month. NO spending on books or make up… but clothing is fine.

• Why does all of Beyonce’s songs makes you want to kill yourself after hearing it for the 3rd time!? I realized this 4 years ago but still have her songs on my playlist; her songs must’ve turned me insane. She has an amazing voice and her songs are good RIGHT when it comes out but afterwards they get annoying as frick!
• Ladies, there is a time to stop wearing bandage dresses or just skimpy dresses in general. Just because you’re wearing one in a club, doesn’t mean you look hot. It’s nice to have confidence but no one really wants to see flabs, rolls, guts and cellulite, amongst other things. Please. Spare. Us.
• I have a fear of public washrooms. I always head to the biggest/handicap stall if I need to (nothing worse than being in a tiny, smelly stall… especially with all those Asian restaurants I go to) and find myself always holding my breath when I walk in one. Thankfully, I’ve mastered the art of holding my bladder for long periods of time even though it will certainly mess me up in the future.
• I also find myself holding my breath when I walk into Langara for my night classes. Call me a snob but old buildings makes me feel dirty and I never had to be in one for long periods of time ever since elementary school.
• I don’t understand why nobody can pronounce my name the first time they see it written down. The either think it’s a typo and add an “h” for “Kathy” or call me “Cat-ty.”
• Pineapples + flaxseeds = accidently-delicious-salad-bar-combination. Nomnomnom.
• People ask me why I say I love the rain and gloomy weather so much… it’s because I never have to go out when it’s raining! I actually hate being IN the rain, but I can go a whole week of typical Vancouver weather without stepping outside if I wanted to (most places I go to have underground parking, don’t have to take public transit, etc.)
• I can’t sleep with the heat turned on even though I always regret it in the morning. Another reason why I don’t like summer: my body is sooo sensitive to heat.
• Sometimes at work, I’d feel really self-conscious because I’m wearing accessories that makes lot of noise when I walk around and I feel like I’m annoying everyone so I tell myself not to wear it again. Yet I’m wearing another one the next day… and the next.
• Another HUGE pet-peeve: people who don’t organize their PSDs!!!!! *#$%&$#@!!! They should offer a mandatory class in art school: “PSD Organization 101” please and thank you.
• I hate using laptops because I need to look through at least a 22″ monitor (or smaller, dual monitors) or else I won’t take going on the computer seriously and won’t get any work done. If I had to use a tiny monitor, I’d probably stare at Tweetdeck the whole time, waiting for new tweets to appear. Luckily, we only connect our laptop to the TV to watch movies.
• Make up companies needs to stop making those useless brushes that comes with eye shadows palettes, concealers, etc. Who uses them?
• Boyfriend and I finally started watching Heroes and I can’t stand fat-doughnut-cop!! Does he die yet, next season? (Don’t answer that!!)
• The generic brand of Peptol Bismol works sooo much better than the real thing.
• Boyfriend *talking shit about me: “…and all those books she looks at.”
  Me: “Um. It’s called READING.”
