Boob wishes

susandennisYears ago I had a significant other who was always wishing he had something or that something was different. It seemed to me that he spent so much energy wishing that he had little left over for enjoying what he had.
So, I came up with the concept of boob wishes. Boob wishes are those wishes that are attainable somehow. Usually with money and/or focus. If I wish I had different boobs, I could get them. I could save up all my pennies, work extra jobs, do whatever it takes to get the money to have a plastic surgeon make me whatever boobs I want. That's a boob wish. If I wish I was 6 feet tall, that's a different kind of thing all together.
I wish for whirled peas (boob wish). I wish for world peace (non-boob wish). Get it?
If you want to be thin, fit, blond, whatever... do it. Just shut up and do it. If you want to be a true natural savant. Get over it.
I try not to spend a lot of time on non-boob wishes. I relegate them to 'In my next life' (where I will be, for those taking notes, drop dead greorgous and brilliant and talented but as snotty and mean as I am now).
My boob wish list is pretty short, but I keep it current because it's generally attainable with enough money and if I stumble on a huge pile of bucks, I don't want to waste time thinking about what to do with it.
- A Cannon PowerShot S400
- A complete redecoration of my condo - I mean complete - trash everything, start from scratch and build me a loft bed maybe, etc.
- A more comfortable place to sit in my living room.
- A Treo 600
- A laptop and wi fi set up for computing at home

Date: 2003-07-27 10:18 am (UTC)This morning, for instance, I got disgusted once again at my filthy, gross carpeting and said to myself 'I sure wish I could get this crap replaced.'
Ok, I said to self... that is a boob wish. How badly do you want the carpeting? Badly enough to spend all that money, move all the crap, put up with the mess and make that kind of big decision on color and style when the rest of the house needs it, too??'
Nope. Not that badly. My carpet doesn't look nearly as bad as it did before I took it through the boob wish test.

(something neutral that will go with the new carpet and re-decorating job later)And something nice to prop up your legs on while you knit and watch TV For the amount of time we spend in chairs, being comfortable is a priority. :)

Date: 2003-07-27 02:27 pm (UTC)I think.
But, I'll probably rearrange my living room again so that the couch is in the TV position. Give that a go for a while. Not until it cools off, however...

Seriously, I know what it's like to sit and do needlework and/or watch TV and how comfort makes a difference. I threw in the leg rest thing for personal reasons, remember to keep that circulation moving.
I already have a laptop, but for some reason, I sit here at my PC which isn't nearly as comfortable, even with a relatively new desk chair.
Don't those BIG chairs look cozy?

You truly have given me some good consumer ideas. You just have a real talent for writing about your "finds" with such a flair that makes me want most of them too.
Thank you for that.
