Cabin Fever

Happiness, for me, could come in the form of a tiny, one room cabin. Lakeside. Honeoye Lake preferably because it's teeny, sweet and charming--and just a hop, skip and jump from the house.



I saw this Cavco Cabin on the Tiny House blog a few weeks ago and loved it. Sadly, they don't currently sell them in NYS. Mind you, I can't currently afford it (or the land), either.

My other option would be an Airstream trailer. I don't care how small it is. Unlike the new build McMansions on Canandaigua Lake that are no longer cottages but more like garish monstrosities, I just want a little getaway that doesn't take itself too seriously. I could decorate in cowboy kitsch or junk gypsy and serve mojitos nightly.

However, now that Sherman's Travel named the Finger Lakes region the number one lakeside retreat in the world (beating out Lake Como!), I may never be able to afford my lakeside luxury-light. As Rochester magazine quipped, I'm sure George Clooney will be searching for his newest villa here shortly. Maybe we could be next door neighbors . . .

I wonder if he likes grilled cheese sandwiches and sangria?

Mrs. Clooney

OMG!

• You will marry George Clooney.

• After a wild honeymoon, you will settle down in Cape Hatteras in your fabulous Apartment.

• You will have 7 kid(s) together.

• The family will zoom around in a Red Jeep Liberty.

• You will spend your days as a Writer, and live happily ever after.
  

As much as this sounds awesome (!), who has an apartment in Cape Hatteras? Shouldn't it be a beach house on stilts?

Alas, Paul Rudd, John Cusack and Jon Stewart all opted out of my future but I'm still worried, even thought it says that we will "live happily ever after," that George won't be content. The MASH game can't be wrong, can it?

Speaking of which, seven kids at my age? Does George already have five kids that I don't know about? Will they all fit in that little car? Or the apartment for that matter?

Come to think of it, amazing beach views and George Clooney aside, I'm not even sure I'll be happy! I hope Georgie springs for a nanny.
