I wouldn't mind a game room for when I take a break from reading? And maybe a swimming pool? Not that I'm demanding or anything :)

A helipad would be quite enough. Airports require much more space... space which could be used for books rather than concrete. Better still would be a teleportation cabinet.
I'm in. I do request a room with walls made out of fish tanks though. Just cause I think that would be awesome.
It would be awesome - but you have to keep them clean. I don't want the whole house smelling like gross fish water.
Oh and also - could the reading room have a huge fireplace? just cause its awesome reading in front of a fireplace :)

DoodlePanda wrote: "Oh and also - could the reading room have a huge fireplace? just cause its awesome reading in front of a fireplace :)"I think we need a fireplace in each bedroom at least and maybe a nice large one in the primary library. We should each have smaller libraries attached to each bedroom and then the primary library for the group collections.

Though as I normally just use my Kindle and so don't need much room for books I might redo my room into a gaming/cinema room. With fireplace.

It would be great! We can build a reading Treehouse in Chris'

We have to make sure we have an extra large bedroom for the Grandbaby. It should be filled with half-empty bookcases (gotta give him room for his own collection). He needs to hurry up, though. The grandbaby is already got a backlog to get through...

Totally awesome!
They build crazy adult treehouses all over the country. I recently saw one where it had electricity, running water, a steam shower, HVAC and sewage (toilets). What?!! That's crazy!

OH yeah, the Grandbaby.
Hmmm, might have to soundproof the rooms in case the baby gets fussy.

Mind. Blown!
Never mind the house, I'm staying in the treehouse!
Ok, new plan. We need rooms on the exterior of the house. Each room will have a door that leads to a treehouse where we will house our personal libraries.

Off topic from moving into Chris's new house... But I've been trying lose to some weight for a few weeks and am therefore trying to snack healthier... Healthy snacks are loud. I'm sitting here at my desk at work, eating an apple and slurping the juice so it doesn't run down my chin.. And I'm getting so many looks. Stupid healthy food, candy bars are far less noisy.
But alas... I NEED to loose 5 pounds. I'd be fine with my weight any other time of the year, but I sort of bought a wedding dress, and then I gained 5 pounds of Thanksgiving and Christmas and Valentine's Day and Birthday dinners.... And now my dress doesn't zip over my chest. So I kinda gotta fix that! Plus maybe 2 or 3 more pounds in addition to that, just so I can have fun gaining it back on my honeymoon.
After the wedding.. All bets are off. I finally get to let myself go!!!!!!! WOO!!!!

Also loud. O_O With the added issue of taking forever to eat, lol.
I bought some Inner Peas from Trader Joes the other day. Pretty tasty.
I wasn't sure if it was just a joke, or an actual thing, so I googled it. I'm not sure I would like those.. I'm more of an edamame girl myself. Peas.. Eh. I tried the their seaweed once.. Blech.
DoodlePanda wrote: "Wouldn't it be great if you could actually buy inner peace? I would def buy me some of that!"Agreed!

The very first bite is a little weird. But then its tasty. There's a hint of salt that makes it perfect.
But I'm also on a diet. IDK if I would like it without being on a diet.
I see Chris ventured back in...Dawn, maybe you can get Chris to include a fully equipped gym? At this point the only thing missing is the space-port.

I thought the space-port was included?

Teleport.
I'm doing Weight Watchers, so I can have as many fresh fruit and veggies as I want each day without counting the calories.Feels silly to do weight watchers when I only have 5 pounds to lose, but it worked when I needed to lose baby weight, so I'm trying it again now. Just counting calories wasn't working. I wasn't gaining, but on a 1,000 calorie diet I was maintaining my weight pretty well. I just need to lose these damn 5 lbs by May (that's when I have my first dress fitting) and keep it off through July (shouldn't be a problem as long as I can lose it).
Willpower!!! I need more of it. I blame my fiance.. I actually like healthy foods. But he is picky (he only likes two vegetables) and all of his favorite foods are deep fried. So I buy my healthy stuff and he buys zebra cakes.. And of course if I want some dessert and I can choose between an apple and a zebra cake I'm going to go with the cake. I wish it just wasn't around!
Hmph! Men.
Joke's on him.. I'm just cooking what I want for dinner from now on and if he doesn't like it, tough. And I'm not giving him a chance to cook.. If he does, we'll end up with General Tso's chicken. Mmmm... Damn it, now I want Chinese. Just an egg roll or two???

I already have a gym! Built it when I bought my house last year.
I've been working out, but I'm such a wimp. I'm fine with cardio, but strength wise.. It's sad. Can't evem do a push up or pull up. And while cardio is great and all, it's not making an impact on my weight. I need to mix in strength.
Going to try to start a Zuzka Light series tonight.. We'll see. My hips are still achey from my last attempt at a strength based work out.
