Five things I wish I were:
1) Neat- life happens you know. I still don't get how people are able to have Town and Home type of homes, with everything neatly tucked away, and bedrooms that look like hotel rooms. Am better now, but just don't know how to make everything look like a decent best western even after cleaning twice a week and spring cleaning once a month
2) Less of a pack rat - that's probably contributing to my being untidy. But I simply can't bear to throw out letters, cards, little gifts... I've even given up on buying souvenirs when I travel. Just adds to the stuff that I know I can't give away. And those varsity t-shirts.. man oh man... those are hard to throw out.
3) Cook - Yes, I really do wish I had the patience to cook, shop for all those groceries necessary for a good meal and buy those cool looking pots and pans. Until then, I'm making very good friends with the Pasta aisle at Albertson's.
4) tougher - yea well, I'm a girly girl. I can drink all the beer like the boys, but do not have that gung ho, who cares if I bruise my shin type of attitude. I have the biggest fear of hitting my head or breaking my arm... or worse, having a ball hit my head (which has happened twice this year). Explains why my rollerblading experiment never got kicked off.
5) less resentful of couples- yea... well, I am. Singlehood is fine, when everyone around you is single too. And then everyone has to go find a boyfriend/ girlfriend, and then provide you with all the gory details about how wonderful their relationship is. Not fine. Am happy for these people, but am resentful as well.
