if I were SUPER HUMAN...

Have you ever wanted a super power? 

Like the ability to morph into your favorite animal or read peoples minds 

How about the ability to have super human strength to lift a car or have super human speed 

well if i could have super human powers they would be... 

I want to be able to walk through walls, speak any language, have superhuman senses, and of course read the minds of those around me and I know just the person that I would start with....

Vade Mecum

I'd like to introduce you to something very special or.... 

at least i hope will one day be very special 

It is my Vade Mecum 

I know it sounds like a cult of something really weird. 

Actually a vade mecum is a book that one carries all the time. almost like a manual 

my vade is for someone very special... my future husband. 

I haven't been doing the best job at updating it so i figured i would write about it and 

then perhaps i would get the drive to write more in it. 

So basically you can start your own today if you like. 

here's a sneak peak...

What would you be?

If I were a month, I'd be June. 

If I were a day of the week, I'd be Saturday.
If I were a time of day, I'd be 3 pm.
If I were a planet, I would be Jupiter. 
If I were a sea animal, I'd be a Turtle.
If I were a direction, I'd be West.

If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be a lime green victorian sofa with a tufted back. 
If I were a liquid, I'd be a vanilla latte.
If I were a gemstone, I would be a pearl. 
If I were a tree, I would be a white birch.
If I were a tool, I'd be a calculator.
If I were a kind of weather, I'd be sunny with a cool breeze.

If I were a color, I'd be aquamarine. 
If I were an emotion, I'd be inquisitive.
If I were a fruit, I'd be a peach.
If I was a sound, I'd be the trees swaying in the wind.
If I were an element, I would be Antimony.
If I were a car, I'd be a Vespa scooter.
If I were a food, I'd be cheese.

If I were a material, I'd be cotton.
If I were a taste, I'd be spicy.
If I were a scent, I'd be a light fruity smell.
If I were an object, I'd be a camera.
If I were a body part, I'd be the eyes.
If I were a facial expression, I'd be laughter.
If I were a song, I would be Pins and Needles.

What would you be?
