Okay, there is a dream apartment place in chicago...I love this place. See, it's the one that is contemporay design...lots of cement, lots of glass...lots of plants and balconies. I'm crazy about it...we'd really love to have two places, one in downtown Toronto and one in downtown Chicago. We had these lists of things we want to do. Like this major plan to go to Europe: one month in the England, one week in Ireland, one month in Italy, Florence, Rome, Venice, one week in Stockholm, one week in Paris, and a week in Germany.
That's not asking for much right? I know...how are we ever going to get organized to do such a trip. Well...we're working on it...maybe by 2010?
So...we started these lists and we also decided lets make a poster with pictures of what we want to do and stuff. I'd heard the notion of a "vision board" which not just a list...but pictures. Okay. Go ahead and laugh. I know...it sounds hopelessly new age. Whatever. So we made one. I imagine most people make one the sixe of two feet or so. Not Stagg...ours takes up one wall of our kitchen above the computer. It's hilarious. Anyways...I took a cell phone pic of this building in downtown Chicago the other day. It's going on the vision board! Meanwhile...Stagg had cut out a collage saying "stacks and stacks of dvds and cds". Okay. Well last week...he comes home from work with dozens and dozens...of cds and dvds. Not only did we get two seasons of The West Wing, The Closer and some documentary movies... we got music dvd of Neil Young and piles of cds...he got them from work. Somehow there was a pile in managements offices of all these products so they sent them home with the staff. We got cds of The Grateful Dead, Velvet Revolver, Tony Bennett, Bjork, Tori Amos, Van Morrison, The Commodores, Mary J. Blige, Sam Cooke, T.Pain...it goes on...
Stagg was like, "oh man...this is from the vision board!" And it's not just any cds...it's actually music we listen to!
