dollhouses are really weird little things. I get fascinated by the miniature worlds hidden within!
I like the ones best when they are most realistic and to scale. I find that dolls can sometimes ruin it unless they are very realistic!
What do you think? I have never had one and probably never will unless I have a daughter one day...

Holidaying in Vermont
Gladly I am Holidaying in Vermont. I love it here! Great chilled atmosphere and if I could just get away from my obsession with blogging and working I would feel very free :).
I'm currently staying in Williston, just outside of Burlington and am lucky enough to be spending the weekend in Maine.
I would love to go down to Boston but it does not look like I will have the time!
Great things about Vermont: Ben and Jerry's; New World Tortilla; Half Hippie, Half Hillbilly folks; The Nada tie dye man on the bike in downtown Burlington; Tons of really good local beer!

Funniest Vacation...
What is your funniest vacation?
Mine was probably at the age of 18 when some friends and I decided to take off on an 700 mile trip to the South East coast of England.
We didn't really plan it... more of a get in the car and head down to a random place. IN this case we picked Brownston, for no apparent reason.
So we took off and started to have an amazing time. It was great but I can't really say why!! Much of our time was spent in the car with loud music playing and us playing around.
..... Then eventually after a couple of days we reached the town of Brownston. There was a big problem. Brownston was about 20 houses and nothing else so we decided this could not be our destination. All the hype about a place we didn't even know!
So we picked a further place on the map, Newquay, the surf paradise of the UK. Newquay was amazing. Beautiful weather, beautiful beaches, surfing and alcohol.... I was young it was perfect.
We talked about doing the same road trip style in the USA. Sadly we have not yet done so. However I have had the chance to road trip in the states, with the destination being the great city of Boston.
I really hope I get a chance to visit Boston again soon. I'd like to take some Boston tours and maybe head down to New York to go to the Top of the Rock observation center.
There is so much I want to do in the USA, and many more road trips ahead!

Lenovo coupons and much much more
It's definitely worth saving money on literally anything that you can. Chances are if you can find a cheaper price you were getting ripped off before.
Retailers offer coupons and still make money so we as consumers should always take advantage and aim to get things at their lowest margins.
Savings.com is one of the great places you can go to get this coupons. In times of weak economy more and more coupons are being offered to entice us.... Savings.com reflects this as it is jam packed.
Just think about it. If you can save an average of $40, using discount coupons, a month on a variety of items from groceries to computer equipment then you will save $500 a year.... that's enough to help top up the savings or treat your self to a long weekend vacation out of town.....
Say you needed a new laptop. If you search over at Savings.com for Lenovo coupon you can find amazing savings on the Thinkpad range. From 25% or a $100 rebate.
Find savings like this a couple of times a year and you could make that predicted $500 into $1000's saved every year.
I find that even for little things it's worth searching. It does not cost anything to look for a code!
