My Single Mom Life

Even though I know that it will probably never happen, I like to think about all of the things that I would do in my own home if I were to ever own my own home.
I already have my wall paint colors picked out, my style of furniture, how I would want my kitchen to look, that kind of stuff.
Like, I want all stainless steel appliances in my big (read: HUGE kitchen!) kitchen with a lot of counter space, and a lot of cupboards for all of my stuff, all of my kitchen gadgets and appliances, and a nice big food pantry to store all kinds of extras and cooking essentials that every kitchen should have on hand.
I currently don't have enough counter space for all of my cooking gadgets, nor do I have enough cupboard space to always have the basic pantry cooking essentials on hand, which drives me nuts and is one of the reasons why I am always dreaming and thinking about how my kitchen would look if I ever own my own home.
I have to have a large kitchen with a ton of counter and cupboard space, and a food pantry for all of the basics so whatever meal I am cooking, I will always have the right ingredients on hand to make it.

Anyway, I took a walk to the corner store and back earlier this evening, and on my way back it was now dark enough for the street lights to come on and the ones at people's homes too.
One of my neighbors is a guy who works for one of the local tv stations, he lives just up the street from me, about a block or so, and he's always doing work to his yard, putting in new Florida friendly plants and designing it, and tonight I noticed that he's now added some nice new landscape lighting around the trees and plants that he planted in his front yard.
It looks so wicked nice!
He has some lights aimed up near the base of the palm tree he has planted in the middle, there's some smaller lights mixed in with all of the different Florida friendly plants and flowers that he has, so when you look at his yard, you can clearly see all of the beautiful plants and rocks that he has done some nice design with right in his front yard.
I would love to do that kind of stuff to my own yard some day if I ever own my own home.
