My Strong Opinion

My 2011 Holiday Wish List Part 2

I need the yoga mat for the days when I can’t go to the gym, so I can just do my circuit training at home.

I’m running out of book storage space for quite some time now, not to mention surfaces to put store them too.  This kind of book rack would just be perfect for my tiny room.

I envied Marga’s organized closet so maybe if I had these, my closet would be organized too.

I didn’t really notice it at first, but I seem to have a growing collection of belts.  I’d like a place to put them.

So there you go. My entire wish list. :)

I am making this wish list so that you don’t have to think what to give me.  I’d appreciate you making your own wish list too, so I’m sure you’ll like what we give you.  On a best effort basis of course. :)

Too many mind

/ iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

So it’s6:30 in the evening and I’m still at work. I clearly recall spending at least 14 hours here yesterday. I hate it when that happens. It’s not that I don’t like showing dedication, but it’s mostly because I could have easily been doing something else. Working till the wee hours is not required of me but for some reason, lately, I’ve been doing what is not required of me.

Maybe it’s an escape. I’ve had too many things on my mind.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m always balancing everything. All the things I have to deal with, I have to maneuver just to keep my sanity. I’m not complaining; I know far more people have it much worse than me. But when I look at my things-on-my-mind, they all look so simple. They seem simple, uncomplicated. Yet, it still keeps me awake late at night and gives me startling mornings.

I need a real escape. Work just adds to the stuff I should not be over-thinking.

Like he said, “Too many mind.”

The lovely barn door

I’ve been seeing a lot of interior decor that involves the barn door.  I haven’t really completely appreciated the barn door yet, but somehow, when refurbished, it can easily be the missing piece of the room, if not the highlight of it.

It first caught my attention when it was used as the doorway to the bathroom.

Naturally, I find the used barn door more charming.  But these modern twists are not that bad at all.  It is a perfect separation for two spaces.

I love the fact that it cleanly divides working space from living space!

But I think I fell in love when it was used in contrasts and almost blending in to everything in the room.  

I fell in love with barn doors.  Yeah.  My house will have one.  Definitely.
