Wants.

Everyone has a want list, and I’m no different. Here’s a few things that are on my immediate want list:

These jeans are from Zumiez. I have only one pair of ripped jeans, so definitely need this pair. They’re not real expensive, which is another reason I’m shocked I haven’t bought them yet. Right now, I’m at a very awkward weight, so trying to decide which size to buy is making me hold off for now. Maybe they’ll be out of style by the time I decide. LOL!

This wrought iron cross from Walmart NEEDS to be in my house. It’s size is not too small, and I can even personalize it to have our last name. Perfect! So why haven’t I bought it yet? I have no excuse. I just haven’t.

This little machine from Target needs to be in my kitchen. When I was visiting my Aunt in Oregon a few weeks back, I watched my cousin chop up all kinds of things in this little contraption without any issue. All the times I make guacamole, or chop up garlic, this could make it so much easier. Where has this been all my life?

These bowls from Amazon tho. About five years ago, a coworker gave me a set of ceramic mixing bowls. Unfortunately, the big one broke, leaving me with two smaller bowls. Neither of which is big enough to mix a cake or brownies. So, this set is what I need. Ceramic breaks easy. Plastic gets cracks and deteriorates after time, breaking down into the food. No thanks. Stainless steel is where it’s at. Plus, non slip bottoms? Yes, please.

So, that’s it. Those are the items at the top of my must-have list.

Do you have a list? What are some of the items on your list?

I want

…this beautiful piece of salmon with a garden salad. Mmm.

I want…

…to satisfy my craving with this Strawberry Milkshake.

Kissing

I Want…

…to go swimming. I want to splash around, make waves, dive off the diving board, and float around like a dead fish. I want to feel the water plugging up my ears. I want to play Marco Polo. I want to push someone else into the water. I want to do a handstand and then fall over. I want to dive to the bottom of the deep end and fetch the rock everyone else was so afraid to get.

It’s summer, and I want to go swimming.

I Wanna…

…get away. I need to get away. Somewhere I can relax. Somewhere I don’t have to think about family stuff. Somewhere I don’t have to think about work stuff. Somewhere I don’t have to think about relationship stuff. Somewhere I don’t have to think about girl friends or boy friends. Somewhere I can just go and concentrate on the subject at hand. Fun.

Here’s a short list:

  Sea World – San Diego – With a desire to go to Sea World, naturally comes a desire to go to…

  San Diego Zoo – San Diego – With the desire to learn about animals, comes the desire to learn about how they have come and gone from the earth, which brings the desire to learn about history in general…

  Natural History Museum – Los Angeles County – See…there are times when I feel like I’d enjoy learning. It doesn’t happen often, but I’d love to spend a few hours going through this place.

  Six Flags Magic Mountain – Los Angeles County - Just for a day. To feel the adrenaline rush for a few hours. I just need a good rush!

 

 

  San Francisco – Fisherman's Wharf - For a long weekend (ya. four days.) To feel the cold marine layer that sits over the bay, the wind annoyingly blow my hair in my eyes and mouth, the few snotty people that refuse to acknowledge that I nodded hello as I passed them in the hotel lobby, the beautiful skyline at night, Alcatraz Island, driving over the Golden Gate Bridge, sneaking samples of chocolate while visiting Ghirardelli Square, and having Clam Chowder for dinner.

 

I want…

…a clock like this.

I Want…

…this clock. In Grey.

I Want…

…these beautiful pink roses.

Wish List

There are no special occasions coming up for me within the next five months, so I’ll go ahead and start my wish list now.

I want…something similar to these, because I do not like my legs getting hot.

 

but if it’s going to be a gift, I want this one…

 

 

I want…someone to help me do this, because the vintage dresser I have would look so much more beautiful (and I’d learn how to sand and stain).

 

 

I want…a seafood dinner, because the combination I can get with this dinner is beyond fantastic. (Lobster tail, crab legs, shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, mashed potatoes - or baked, and a salad. Mmm)

 

 

I want…a vacation, because sitting in one of these chairs with someone you love, just makes more sense than being in L.A. right now.

 

 

What’s on your wish list? What do you wish for? What do you want?

I want…

…a soft pretzel with salt and LOTS of cheese. LOTS and LOTS of cheese.

I want…

…this salad. Mmm. :-)

I have absolutely nothing to say and I don’t feel like thinking up something. However, I will tell you, if I could have anything to eat right now, it would be a Butterfinger.

Happy Wednesday!

I want …

 

…to go on a picnic that overlooks a lake, a creek or an ocean.

 

Showin’ some love

I want this picture sitting on a shelf in a cute little frame in my house. Adorable.
