Unlimited vacation time, stress-free wedding planning, a closet full of designer shoes (in multiple colors), calorie-free pizza (and a stomach that likes dairy), chocolate-covered cherries, the perfect black dress, naturally highlighted hair, porcelain skin, summertime weather without humidity, hours in the gym to feel like minutes, a grilled cheese sandwich.
To write a book.
I want a comfortable relationship with my future mother-in-law, the last five pounds to just vanish, smaller arms, bigger eyes, to always take a perfect picture, old-school Britney, frizz-free curls, the ability to tan, fresh strawberries,
A bigger bathroom.
I want to sleep in, drive with the windows down, have more time with Michael, the dog not to shed, a housekeeper, a personal chef and a trainer, to visit my family, catch up with old friends,
A Snickers ice cream bar.
What do you want?

I agree with everything except the snickers. I’d prefer an Ice Cream Chipwich

I want to crawl under the covers right now (head too, without hyperventilating) and sleep my bad mood away.

I want to be wearing warmer clothes, but I don’t want to look like an eskimo. Why are all the cute clothes short sleeved?

A job in June where I make at least $45,000 a year.
For The Riches and Dirt to be back on TV soon. And The Closer.
To go on vacation anywhere.
For things to be less stressful with Mike and I.
For my parents not to move away, even if it isn’t for another few years.

To go to Italy again, feel the breeze, swim in the warm sea, and drink yummy drinks with my husband. Oh, and to eat all the goodness that they make there.

I want five more hours in the day so I can sleep in with my boy and so he won’t be so tired in the evenings.
I want unlimited funds for my trip to Asia.
I want to know a med school wants me. So I don’t worry that I won’t be a doctor.
I want my brother to be happy, my mother to find love, and my father to slow down and smell the roses.
And I want a grilled cheese sandwich too.

I want to be able to appreciate all of the things in life that I take for granted on a regular basis.
I want the writers strike to end amicably with more money for the writers and less crappy reality tv and game shows for the viewers.
I want a law passed decreeing 3 day weekends every week!
January 16, 2008 at 2:29 pm
violet
great list.
i also want… to have a better idea of how to balance my enjoyment of my career with my academic passions
for my boyfriend to get a new job and to stop being so incredibly stressed and upset about his current one and lack of prospects.
which would in turn allow us to move on with our interesting adventures together.
also, for the new york sports clubs to be less RIDICULOUSLY packed every night.

To go to the beach and see ocean that’s not frozen. A hammock. Bangin heals that I can wear and dance in for hours with no negative consequences for my feet. The summer when I was 10. One ripe peach.
January 16, 2008 at 2:33 pm

I want my boss to stop bugging the shit out of me for just one hour.
I want cheesecake.
I want two weeks of vacation on a secluded island.

I would enjoy a giant walk-in closet so I could buy more shoes, a lot more money to buy said shoes, an end to snow as we know it, and a giant bloggy sleepover so we can all meet one another and talk about boys. Or whatever.

A couple of slow days in the office for a change.
A condo fully furnished and paid for in the neighborhood of my choice.
To retire at 26.
Chicago summer year round.

I want a nap.
And now, I also want ice cream.

I want to lose 20 pounds. A nap. To graduate magically tomorrow with my nursing degree. Not to be in school from 8AM-10PM 2 days a week. A huge ice cream sundae!

I want more money, enough to live more comfortably than I am now. I want my cozy bed and a rainy afternoon free of committments, just to nap. I wish everything that tasted good (cheese, bread, chocolate, etc) had NEGATIVE calories.
January 16, 2008 at 3:21 pm

I want the shoes… and the matching handbags. I want to write a book… and produce a movie. I want the pizza… and Mexican food. And chocolate. I want to travel… and to be able to sleep in. I want to be on the beach, with a good book and a fruity drink, swimming in crystal water, dozing in the sun, waking up to some funny boy with love in his eyes to do unimaginable things to me… and then I want to imagine some more things for him to do!
I want it all, baby!

I want my father to be healthy again. I want to sit in the diner with both of my parents and my husband and order a burger like we did when things were normal.

This is exactly what I want too!! And possibly to spend my afternoons baking and listening to Fiona Apple while I whip up my negative caloric food

Love the list. I also want…
To go to the gym once and leave with the perfect body.
To have enough money so I could work for fun, not necessity.
To be able to travel the world.
To see my family in Europe more than once every few years.
For my fiancé to pass his CPA so he won’t be so stressed all the time.
To get snow tonight since it’s been 3 years since our last snow fall.

To not feel so guilty about giving my notice at work today.
To feel less anxious about the new job.
And some McDonald’s french fries would be really nice.
January 16, 2008 at 4:39 pm
kwarterlifecrisis
Pretty much every you said and also this: to be able to easily compromise with TB and both end up with a wedding that we are 100% happy with. Also, a gallon of Starbuck’s No Sugar Added Coffee Fudge Brownie ice cream and a spoon.

I’d say you nailed it pretty well. But I also want to be smarter when it comes to math and spelling. Actually, if I could download knowledge like they did in The Matrix, that would be awesome. (so I’m a little nerdy.)
I want to not have to work to pay the bills.
I want to have time to read all the classics.
I want the Fairy Tale wedding instead of a fair tale to tell about the wedding.
I want to be more artist.
I want food to not be fattening.
I want the world to be happy and people to get along so there is no war and no hunger.(and that would be my Miss America answer, but it’s true.)
Just sign me up for everyone else’s list too, especially the ice cream!

I love your list.
I want to make more money, live with my boyfriend, feel like a grown up. Not necessarily in that order.

I want to finish up my degree just to have it, but not have to work. I want to win the biggest lottery ever so I can buy purses and sunglasses and go to the spa every week. I want a puppy named Bodhi, an engagement this year, to reunite with all the people who I missed out on watching grow up alongside me, I want to snowboard at whistler, surf in waimea, skydive, lose the weight that I’ve put on since moving to Cali, and the list goes on!

January 16, 2008 at 6:26 pm
s.t
i’ll take everything on your list. i’d also like to live a debt free existence and get rid of my credit card without getting rid of the fun things that go along with it. i’d like skin that is naturally clear all the time. i’d like a life free of pms. i’d like a perfect body without ever going to the gym. i’d like to have my ph.d without defending my dissertation. oh, and a sparkly engagement ring
while i’m at it some rocky road ice cream would be pretty nice right now, too.
January 16, 2008 at 8:58 pm

vacation, a job and a wardrobe filled with J Crew and Banana Republic- sprinkled with GAP for good measure.
oh- and tons of shoes.

i would like 98% of the things you mentioned (the 2% can cover.. replacing Michael with my boyfriend and …. yeah, ok. that’s it then.)
and now i REALLY want a snickers ice cream bar.
what i want … is a pair of plane tickets to somewhere tropical and warm and foreign and only an hour to pack so i don’t over think and over pack (somehow i think i could overpack in even an hour) and then to escape with my boyfriend for a while.

I am not going to answer this only because if you’ve ever seen my blog and my loooooong list of wants… you wouldn’t want me to list them all here.
I hope you get what you want!

I want… a two week vacation in Tahiti, and to come home with the best tan ever.
I want my house renovations to be FINISHED.
I want to retire and never have to work another day.
I want to volunteer full time.
I want chocolate right now. Any type of chocolate, as long as it’s chocolate.

I want my husband back home since he is out of town right now. I want my bff to be able to sit next to me all day long at work and we would have tons of giggly goodness for all 9 hours. I want Pizza every night of the week and I want it calorie free. I want a dishwasher. I want my dog in bed with me but I don’t want her on top of me. I want to not let things bother me that have nothing to do with my actual personal life. I want to bounce out of bed every morning instead of having to drag myself. I want it to be light outside when I get home so I can still go for a walk and not feel like I’m going to get murdered.
