"-and not I was going to bring back all such things into my life and become again that most limited of all specialist, the 'well-rounded' man." (F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby)
While I did not like the book, I do love the above quote. (It is ok not to love an American classic right?)
I want to be well- rounded! Well, really, I want to be good at everything.
I want to paint and draw! - I have no artistic talent at all
I want to play the piano - I have no patience for practice
I want to take amazing photos - I might have more luck just learning photoshop. :)
I want to write a great novel - who am I kidding? I HATE writing (why am I blogging?)
I want to travel all over the world - we have limited $
I want to flip houses - again with the $ thing
I want to paint a bunch of our furniture! - I will do this once we move
I think that i am feeling the "I want to do" more than normal because we aren't in a permanent home situation yet and I am feeling like I am not doing enough of anything! It is like how I thought of about 10 different books I wanted to read as soon as we packed them and put them away. I want because I can't have!
Anyway, this weekend we are moving into our little rental home. I can start painting (furniture) and can pull books out of boxes! Yay! I will post pics (probably not photoshopped) of our new place soon!
