Kristen @ Sweat Courage started a new blog series- 10 Day You Challenge.
Today is 7 Wants!
Obviously, there are many serious things I want. A clean bill of health for Paul, world Peace, my cats to live forever... you know, that type of stuff. I will instead go the more practical, tangible route and tell you about some actual "things" I want/need.
1. A new lawn mower. We have been borrowing our friends' lawn mower for the past several weeks but we need to get our own. The one I am using now is electric- which is very interesting. I am actually getting really good at navigating around the two long extension cords I need to mow my lawn. My neighbors probably think I'm crazy but I have mastered the art of flipping the flippin' extension cord out of my way! When we get a new one, an electric one isn't out of the running- it's much lighter to push!
2. A pull up bar for at home. If I had one, I bet I could get away with only going to Planet Fitness once a week. Think of all the episodes of Nancy Grace I could catch up on if I could do pull ups at home!
3. Mizuno Wave Rider 15s. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. I hated the 16s and didn't even try the 17s. Maybe I should try barefoot running? Just kidding. But seriously, I need to figure out my shoe situation within the next month or so.
4. More cats and/or dogs. I love my cats with all my heart, but there is always more love to go around! I would love to get two more cats and a dog. The only problem is, the cats would get insanely jealous seeing the dog go outside to use the bathroom. And I am not sure I want to put Christmas and Jelly through that! They don't even like when Paul and I go outside. They feel jilted.
5. A motor home! Okay, I am going a bit over the top with this one but I don't care! How awesome would it be to travel around the country with Paul and the cats all summer long? We would have the time of our lives!
6. I want to move to Colorado. We love it there.
7. Front row tickets to a Madonna concert. It has been my dream since high school! However, I have been lucky enough to go to two of her concerts... just not in the front row!
If you could have front row tickets to any concert, what would it be?
If you could have any piece of gym equipment for you home, what would you pick?
I want a clean bill of health for Paul, too. And, of course, you to move to Colorado. If I could have anything at my house, it would be a lap swimming pool! But I will settle for the TRX suspension system. Probably will get that this winter.
ReplyDeleteFront row for Roger Water's tour of The Wall or Pink Floyd. I've seen the Roger Water's concert 2 x and it is the most amazing show ever. Saw Pink Floyd once and it was fabulous. PF is my favorite. For a recent band, I would choose One Republic!
TRX would be AWESOME!
DeleteI love the riders but disliked the 17 and the 18s. Try ebay for the 15s… sounds weird but sometimes running shoes put their older models on there to sell. I've bought a couple odd running shoes off there . ps, i want to move to colorado so badly, I started applying out there
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I got some 15s on Ebay before but I'm scared to go back and find none! Oh well gotta bite the bullet sooner or later. Isn't CO the BEST???
DeleteKam, what is your field that you work in? I hope you can move to Colorado. I love in Northern Colorado, about 45 minutes north of Denver (in Loveland) and I think this area is fabulous!
DeleteWhen I was 16 I got front row tickets to an NSYNC concert! I was a ridiculous, over the top fan and it was one of the best night's of my life! I still think of it as the best concert experience I've ever had! I hope you get front row tickets to see Madonna next time she tours! My favorite Madonna song is Super Pop! haha :)
ReplyDeleteWOW FRONT ROW TO NSYNC??? I have seen them in concert but not front row. I would definitely pay big bucks for that if they ever got back together. :)
DeleteI love the idea of traveling in an RV, that would be super super awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get front row tickets to Beyonce!
I am sure she puts on an AWESOME show. The RV idea is because we miss our cats so much when we are on vacation. This way, they could come to us!
DeleteI've never used an electric lawn mower - seems like it would be sort of a pain to keep the cord out of the way!!! My 13 year old soon always wants me to change the station when Madonna comes on - he just doesn't appreciate her music.
ReplyDeleteI forgive your son as she has many songs I don't like and her voice is mediocre at best. I still love her, though!
DeleteAww a dog is definitely on my list. I always say as soow as I quit this job I would get one..haha. The piece of gym equipment recently came true when I moved from a condo to a house....a treadmill. It will come in handy in the brutar winters in Philly. -L
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that you got a treadmill. This past winter (I'm near Harrisburg) WAS brutal. For a PA runner, it is definitely a good piece of equipment to have! I go to the gym when I need to use a treadmill. Still haven't invested in one!
DeleteLola definitely needs to live forever! I asked Matt about getting a pull up bar earlier on in the summer, and then I guess we both forgot about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting one for Christmas, (the holiday, not for my cat) I already decided it will be at the top of my list!
DeleteOoh a motor home! I agree! And while we're at it, gas fees paid for life!
ReplyDeleteOkay don't laugh but if I could go to a concert and get front row seats I'd pick Matchbox 20. They will always be my favorite!
Gas fees FOR SURE. Matchbox 20 oh that reminds me of college!!! I won't laugh. :)
