E is for ...

England
Yes. It's a country. One that I want to go to again. I'm sure I'll be naming various cities in England throughout the month, but let's just drive this point home. I love me some England.

Easter Island
Ok ... so i just want to see the big stone heads. Sorry, the Moai.

Edinburgh
Again, the history of this place would be amazing to see.

Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Because, if they've named a town after me, I should grace them with my presence. Oh wait, I've already been there.

D is for ...

Denmark
One of the reasons I would love to go here is because I've read that it's considered one of the happiest and least corrupt countries in the world - thanks you Wikipedia! Plus, I've got Viking blood in me, so I'd like to visit some of the scandinavian countries. And I would like a Danish ...

Dublin, Ireland
I'm friends with 'becca. 'Nuff said.

Did you know: that there is actually a place called Dawson's Creek somewhere in Canada? Interesting. Not on the list, but interesting.

C is for ...

CHICAGO, of course!
lol, well yea it doesn't really belong on this list, but I do love this city :)

Colorado
I am aware that this is a state, but everytime I've been there I have loved it. wouldn't mind going back when I get the chance.

B is for ...

Boston
I know, weird, right? I've never been there but it's one of those iconic American cities with a rich history and I would like to get there at some point.

Bath, England
So, I've been there before, but I would love to go back. It's a beautiful town and getting to see the Roman Baths again is something I would love to do.

British Columbia
Have you seen pictures of this place? Gorgeous!

Bermuda
I had a dream about Bermuda the other day, which is why it's on the list. Basically I'd like to say I survived the Bermuda Triangle. I'm weird like that.

Barcelona, Spain
I've never really thought about going to Barcelona much, but the pictures are beautiful and it popped into my head just now. I'll have to look more into that.

A is for ...

Athens, Greece
I've always found history so intriguing. I'm one of those nerds who could sit and watch the history channel for hours. Maybe that's why I've always been so interested in ghost stories - they are history based tales wrapped up in spooky, creepy packages. Perfect! Anyway, my desire to go to Athens isn't based on my love of a good ghost story, but it is because of my love of the past. Going to one of the world's oldest cities, getting to see the Parthenon (and not just the one in Nashville) - imagining what life was like back then, it doesn't need to be spooky to send chills up your spine.

Also, I'd like to someday take an Alaskan Cruise. I've never been on a cruise before, but I think that the beauty of the soundings would be amazing. I could have just put down Alaska - but I don't know if there is a town/city in Alaska that I'd like to visit. I've just heard it beautiful there, but I've never heard of it's beauty being linked to one particular city.

Oh and if anyone ever finds Atlantis, I'm so there ... most likely in scuba gear.
(and no, I don't mean the strip club.)

changing my mind ...

So when I jumped into this year's NaBloPoMo, I had no idea what I was doing. I need some sort of focus or else I'm lost. It's not that I can't think of anything to say, there is just too much swirling around in this head of mine to randomly pick out something new each day. So, I've been trying to think of a way to make this work a little better for me ... then I had an idea.

I love to travel and I haven't been able to do much of it at all recently, but there are a million places that I would love to see (yes, i counted ... ok, that is a lie). So I've decided to make my AlphaNoBloPoMo into a list of places I'd like to go. So, while I'll leave my sad excuse of posts from earlier this week up, I'm going to start again at A, just so A-C doesn't feel left out ...

Also, if you think I've missed an amazing place, let me know about it ...

:)

babies

there has been an ever-increasing number of my friends popping out miniatures lately. did oprah have some sort of giveaway? "you get a baby ... you get a baby ... EVERYONE GETS A BAAAAABY!"

now, for the record, i'm not saying this is a bad thing. i love babies and i, myself, would like to have a family someday - however i could do without the constant reminder that my biological clock is clattering away. it just makes me wonder what's been in the water this past year. (ok, nevermind ... see now if i were a better blogger, i could have worded that differently therefore avoiding that look on your face right now.)

now for the letter "c" ... oh geez.

absence of structure

So, this year's NaBloPoBlo is a bit different. Instead of topics, each day is assigned a letter. This makes it much more difficult for us non-bloggers, but I'll give give it a try ...
