Ramblings and Brain farts

Home on the Range

I’m still in the race for 1000 comments this month (though I still only have under 400 comments and we have a week left in August!!) so I went around visiting blogs and leaving my footprints all over the place. It is through my blog hops that I’ve seen this blog where the author talked about what kind of home she and her husband would like to have.

She had pretty photos up in that post, and I wish I could link to it, but for the life of me, I could not remember what blog it was I was reading!

I do remember though, how much I would like to be in a place very close to nature, with lots of trees and wide open spaces for dogs and kids to run around in. I’d like to be somewhere near a (clean) flowing river where we could go swim in the afternoons. Oh okay, a swimming pool will do. I imagined something like the Pioneer Woman’s ranch, but I didn’t want to do the ranch chores that comes with the property. Hehe.

I remember too what song played in my head as these thoughts ran through my mind while reading that blog post: Home on The Range. It was a piece that was included in my beginner’s piano book. I loved playing it, and listening to it. My mom would sing the song too.

Now, looking at the website for desert ridge homes for sale, I remember the same things again. The music, the backdrop, and the whole feel of the place.

But to be realistic, I’d probably spend the rest of my life in a house in the city. Hehe 🙂

Fortunes Told

Have you every had your fortune told? Palm reading maybe, or tarot card?

I can remember only one incident of this for me ever, but don’t remember the details at all. I’ve purposely stayed away from fortune telling booths at the UP whenever there were ones setup along AS Walk or at the FC. I was afraid, I think.

Afraid of what the future holds? Nah. Just that I might hear something that I don’t like. What if they tell me I won’t be marrying the one I’m with? What if there’ll be tragedy?

There’s this girl at work who seems to have the gift. She’s read for at least three people yesterday, and she seems to have been spot on on a lot of things. She’s also very interested to read for me.

But I said I was scared. I need to be ready for it, she says. Maybe next week.  It would be nice to ask a few questions. 🙂

Where is Verabear?

I’m NOT taking a break. Just spending quality time elsewhere on the net. Haha 🙂

Check out my latest post at The Newbie Photographer, and also at Between the Covers.

Leave me a comment so I know you dropped by okay?

Oh, the comment challenge is still on! Just over 200 comments until now. I’ll try to double that over the weekend, though I highly doubt if I can! Hay.

August Comment Challenge

After seeing Harriet’s Comment Challenge month over month, I finally signed up for the August Challenge.

It’s pretty straight forward: a challenge to make 1000 comments during the month of August. If I make it, I don’t get any money. Harriet promises a cool button though 🙂 But apart from the button, there’s more in there for me. I get to pay more attention on other people’s blog (enough to make a meaningful comment) and hopefully that encourages them to checkout my blog/s and participate too.

So far, I have made 15 comments today. That leaves me with 985 more comments to go until the month ends.

Wait, what have I gotten myself into? 😀

Hey, why don’t you join up? Even if we don’t make it to 1000, there’s the journey to remember right? C’mon!
