Saving up for a fiberglass pool..it's all I want

As a blogger and a casual browser of the internet (I like to think of it as my hobby), I come across things from time to time. Things that I want.

Truth be told, these images and daydreaming epiphanies come to me at night, almost every night. They come to me while I am wide awake, yet trying to sleep. It's usually the web browsing that keeps me awake, but I like to label it "insomnia",  mainly because it sounds more responsible. I will tell you that typically by morning, the fleeting thoughts and dreams from the night before pass. It's much like a drunk who becomes sober, I realize that what I was thinking and doing was ridiculous. The embarrassment of my intense thoughts usually wake me up by the time I am in the shower getting ready for work. Ludicrous thoughts like "did you really think you were going to make ALL your own jewelry and become so good at it, you could sell it?".  yea, i did that.

But something happened recently that is blog worthy. I awoke and "sobered up" from my Pinterest hangover and could not shake the feeling. This thought, let's call it an "urge", did not pass the morning after and it was not ridiculous.

Here it is:
I want a Fiberglass Pool for Christmas.
Sure, the comical and overtired side of me creeps in from time to time. For example, I would lay in bed thinking about how one would wrap such a gift...do they make bows that big?

So, there it is- my Christmas List 2014

Things I want:
Fiberglass Pool


How did I get here? Well, I will tell you, it was a long journey.  The end result was this page Fiberglass Pool Designs and that link has been safely bookmarked on my iphone. I would like to think I am not alone in this, so should anyone else like to join me- please share your favorite model. Please, by all means, feed the beast that is my imagination.

I have spent countless hours browsing through the dimensions of these fiberglass constructed little gems. Which one was best for me, or for my family? Would it be the Cancun or the Angelfish model? How much do fiberglass pools cost anyway? Where will I put it and what am I going to do with the landscaping?

Christmas is 2 days away. I don't think I am getting it this year. But every year I have a feeling my list will say the same thing. 'Fiberglass Pool'
Until.... I get it.


confession over.
