The only thing is, I wouldn't have a yard if I live in one. Like where would we grow our tomatoes and artichokes? I think a vintage <a href="http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=vintage+airstream&aq=f&aqi=g2&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=">Airstream trailer</a> on a decent sized plot of land would be perfect. Then we'd just plop a mini hangar or yurt where we'd work on our stuff. <br /><br />I do love the idea of living in a boat. But I was taking the ferry one time and it was storming like crazy. I had to close my eyes and sit still the entire time because I was getting sick as the waves were quite choppy. Eep.<br /><br />Do you live in a boat? What's it like?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4174785907928263265-7866213991659307915?l=aprintaday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>yasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17139950044168441003noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174785907928263265.post-60521302184443382262010-06-15T11:55:00.000-07:002010-06-15T11:56:28.911-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4704130256_e30eec47bb_b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4704130256_e30eec47bb_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4174785907928263265-6052130218444338226?l=aprintaday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>yasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17139950044168441003noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174785907928263265.post-50663855565359795532010-06-12T00:47:00.000-07:002010-06-12T02:05:48.463-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4692864328_9b42cf5db8_o.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4692864328_9b42cf5db8_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />In case you're wondering where my old posts and downloads are, they are now at <a href="http://aprintadayarchives.blogspot.com/">APAD Archives</a>.

In this one, I am at a crowded party. And in this crowded party, there is a small bottle on the side table. Inside the bottle are Thumbelina-sized girls I see from a distance. One of them manages to escape and she starts crawling on the wall like a gecko. No one at the party seems to notice. I go, "A girl is crawling on the wall!" I run closer, and the closer I get, the little girl morphs into a gecko. And all the girls in the bottle become geckos. Then I'd wake up.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4174785907928263265-2195530482850160789?l=aprintaday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>yasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17139950044168441003noreply@blogger.com24
