Wanting

An "I want" list, inspired by Beth:

I want my entire day to feel like the bliss I experience the first hour of the day lingering over a cup of cinnamon hazelnut coffee & a quilt in progress.

I want bright orange Doc Martens.

I want to learn everything. Yes, everything. I really want to know it all.

I want people to stop staring at my son because he's unlike them.

I want to spend days uninterrupted while I attempt to translate a quilting idea into physical form.

I want enough money to not have to live at my parents. Or I want the housing prices in the Northeast to abate enough that I don't have to find myself seriously considering whether I really could make a 2 bedroom place work with 4 kids.

I want a foot massage. And, while I'm on the topic, a decent backrub would be swell.

I want a blue house on a few acres, with no lawn, just flower, vegetable, and herb gardens.

I want to shut my brain off on command so I can get a reasonable amount of sleep.

I want enough practice time to actually develop some skill at spinning.

I want to afford to send my kids to college.

I want the time to read all the books I have stashed away for "someday"

I want people to stop being so damn whiny and self absorbed.

Oh, I know what you mean...several of your wants would be on my "I want" list...but for now I want my creativity to kick ass again...

BTW, how are you doing on those weekly jounal type quilts? I actually made a small quilt in July...and have one in mind for August.
