things i want!

• for it to be next friday already!! i am soooo done with school being everyday! it's been 100 days AT LEAST and i am so completely over it. i want to go to superwalmart, the very far one in the boonies, and eat lunch at subway and stop at a michaels or two, and meander back via the shady park with the wooden boardwalk (and 70-200mm lens)
  

• to not walk today. i know i must. but do i want to? no! i want to rest my unstable equilibrium and wear my arm in a sling, yes a sling, in a desperate bid to make it feel better. effing tennis elbow - i don't even play wii tennis, it doesn't make any sense!

• to use more exclamation points (or as Danny calls them, upside-down "i"s)

• to hike to the Hollywood sign!!

• and Fryman Canyon too! (with a very tall stepladder:)

• to stop staring at the very blank pages of my blurb 2010 review book and get on with MAKING IT! i have a groupon (and i am buying NO MORE! they are taunting me, today's offer is indian food - argh!)
  

• to make Danny's birthday book - i have a groupon for that too :) i made Sam's birthday book already - i had a groupon for that also ;)

• to go to Vegas (but not on New Year's Eve)

• to print huge new colorful pictures for the den walls

• also paint that dark wall light again

• hang icicles from Danny's tree
  

• to buy tree stumps from the lumber yard and sand and seal them as per Nate Berkus' instructions
  

• to make a cozy little (painted red) chicken coop with two/three non-pecking quiet chickens who don't try to charge at me and kill me but do lay brown eggs daily :)

• a 99 cent store by my house, where the Long's used to be. not a fake one, a real legitimate 99 cent store
  

• a perfect new screen protector on my iphone (and to eat lunch at the Olive Garden by the screen protector man... i never go there, once a year i go to remind myself why i don't - and i don't absolutely hate everything about it, the big squishy chairs on wheels are cool and the breadsticks aren't that bad... sure they aren't pat & oscars or crazy bread quality, but still...)

• for it to be genuinely cold enough for flannel sheets on the bed!

pics with the bear (who lost his left leg in a wrestling accident this past year - it needed to be reattached and retired from being flung across the room in the future :)
