Dreams

I have a very important question to ask you...

Are you a dreamer?

Do you dream big?

My entire life I have always dreamed of living a big life.  A few months ago my mom came across of a poem I wrote in 5th grade.  It was in this poem where I stated that I would be a bigger actress than Julia Roberts {insert barrel of laughter here}.  Well, that hasn't come true and I don't act, but I have always been all about dreaming big.

One night a couple years ago Marco and I had some friends over, late in the evening and about 3 bottles of wine in I made everyone come up with one word to describe everyone.  Mine was dreamer.  When we moved to LA I had more stars in my eyes than Marco did.

I think Marco balances me out.  He is a realist.  As you can imagine this sometimes gets annoying with me when I just want him to let go a little and dream.  His dream is to win the John Cassavetes Award for best first time director.

The way I look at dreams is that they do have the potential to become a reality if you put your mind to it.  For some people it means to get married, own a home, have kids and enjoy their job.  To me that is a great dream.  Unfortunately, my husband dragged me out to Hollywood and my dreams have only escalated since our arrival.

Now is the part where I share my crazy dreams with you...

Own and run a successful production company with Marco
See my name in the credits with Executive or Associate Producer next to it
Be a mom
Adopt at least one child

Drive a Bentley convertible 

Travel the world while working on films

Own a home in the Palisades 

Attend Sundance/Canne/Tribeca/Toronto Film Festival each year

Be friends with Jay-Z & Beyonce, Posh & Becks, Kanye, Gwyneth & Chris
Be able to travel home more than once a year

Have Rachel Zoe dress me for the Academy Awards

Yes, I know these might seem crazy to some of you, but in my mind I can actually see most of these turn into real life.  Call me a dreamer, optimistic whatever, I don't care.  There are too many bad things going on in the world, I would rather put my time and energy into dreaming about what could be.

So tell me, I'm curious, what are your dreams?

An Afternoon Escape...

The number one beach spot in the world I want to have the pleasure of enjoying one day is the Maldives.  There is something about being in such a beautiful, secluded spot that overwhelms me with joy.

A few days ago I found out that my favorite hotel brand opened a new property, V!ceroy Maldives Resort & Spa.   I have yet to stay at an actually property due to the price involved.  They are so beautifully decorated by this woman {her hubby owns the hotel chain} it makes me want to move right in.

Take an afternoon break and just imagine yourself here...

I NEED This...

Spring has just hit Southern California!  This makes me very happy :)  Each spring/summer I start the great debate with Marco on getting a convertible.  I have wanted one since I was a teenager.  Why haven't I gotten one yet?  When I lived in Atlanta they were only practical a few months out of the year, I couldn't afford one at the time and my dad said they were a bad investment.  Well, now that I can make my own decisions {love you Dad!} I am seriously considering getting one for my next car.  Here are my top contenders:

In my dream world this is a very reasonable option ;)

The bottom two are probably my most viable bet with getting one even thought I don't think MAG would agree with the Mini.  So many people here have them and they are so cute.  Who knows maybe one day you will see me cruising up the PCH in my navy blue convertible with tan interior?!  Do you have a convertible? Do you love it or do you wish you got something else?

This is how I feel today on this glorious Friday.  

No big plans for tonight.  Tomorrow is a friend of ours bday party. Sunday is the Super Bowl.  Is it bad that I am more excited about the Glee episode after the game?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend:)
