Little wishes

• I wish I wasn't so tired all the time. Even if I sleep a bajillion hours, I always want a nap. For years now, my body just always wants sleep. I mean, don't get me wrong, I can get through the day without a nap, but I'm pretty sure that, if I let myself, I nap every day for like 2 hours and sleep like a baby at night.
• I wish my family could come visit me here. I'd say that I wanna go visit, but I've been there. They have no idea what they're missing here! It's so beautiful and the weather couldn't get any better. Plus, there's this sweet thing called Harvest Homecoming (Idaho readers: think Spud Day but in a bigger town and a bit bigger festival) that I think would be fun to do with them.
• I wish I could figure out what I wanna do with the rest of my life. I got my degree in teaching, did that for awhile, and it was great, but I don't wanna do that for the rest of my life. My current job is great, but it's no lifelong career. And I have no idea what I wanna do with myself. That's probably normal... right?
• I wish we had the monetary resources to let me shop whenever I feel like it and for whatever I want. Sigh. Who doesn't want that, right?
• I wish I could figure out what my best talents are and work on those. I mean, I know what I think I'm good at, but who really knows what their "best" is. I guess we all just continue the guessing game.
• I wish I looked my age. I mean, I'm nearly 26 and I look like I just graduated high school. Heck, there are seniors in high school who look older than me. I know, I know, it'll be great when I'm 50. Whatever. I just want people to look at me and take me more seriously because I look old enough to be taken seriously. 
• I wish I always knew what the "right" thing to do in the current stage of life I'm in is. Like, every 6 months or so, get a postcard from God saying, "OK, so now you need to do [fill in blank]. Good luck with that - you'll do fine. Oh, and stop freaking out. This is from me, so chill, okay? Love, God."
• I wish I could read people better. It's hard to tell who is your friend, who's faking friendly, and who's judging you behind your back. Or, at least it is for me, anyway.
•  I wish I wasn't so helpless around fried food, chocolate, and carbs. Sigh. My mouth just loves you too much!
• I wish I knew more about what Deg does at work. Every time I try to have him go into detail, though, I get so lost and therefore so bored. Maybe there's a "Married to Computer Programmers for Dummies" book out there somewhere.
• I wish I could go back to school. I miss being a student. But to do that, I'd have to take the GRE, which means being somewhat competent in math, and would also mean I'd have to know what it is I want to study. Yeah, I got nothin' on that one.
• I wish I never had to shave again. 'Nuff said.
• I wish my water heater got hotter. It's plenty hot for normal people, mind you, but I like a good scald now and then. 
• I wish I had a sewing machine (I told Deg he's getting me one for my birthday and waiting a month just seems like torture).
• I wish I had my Christmas shopping done. Seriously. I'm like that. Ask Deg. I'm pretty sure I'm already thinking about what to get him for his next birthday, and his last one was a month ago. 
• I wish Deg and I had the jobs/resources to go on trips. Even a weekend trip would be nice. However, we also have awesome yet time intensive church callings, and taking a week off seems naughty.
• I wish I could find the perfect pair of jeans that looked as awesome on as they felt on my legs/booty. Any suggestions?

I wish a lot more things, but I'm sure the musings of my mind are getting a wee bit boring at this point. Or, at least, I'm getting bored with them. :)
