- Flying
I really wish that I liked flying, as I really like to travel and see new things. I just don't like the whole flying/airplane thing. I can totally get myself psyched into loving airplanes...then the captain says something like, "we are cleared for take-off" and I want to rip off my seat belt and bolt out the nearest exit (which are all conveniently marked)!
- Exercising
In particular, I really wish that I liked to run. It seems so much cooler to say, "I went for a run today." I tried it...maybe, twice. And hated every single second of it. I hate walking on the treadmill, but if I don't walk on the treadmill and walk around town instead, my pace dwindles to a mere stroll. I make it about to minute 5 before the complaining in my head starts - then the bartering - I seriously do more self talking during the 30 minutes on the treadmill than any other time of the day!
- Theatre Productions
My mom and sister love going to plays. I wish I could say that I do as well. What I can say is that I am glad that my sister developed a love of plays so that my mom could take her instead of me. Now there are a few masterpieces that I did enjoy and would see again. But as far as trying out a new play...well, I would rather do anything other than be jammed into a small auditorium surrounded by strangers all wearing way to much cologne! I know I am becoming more like my father every day, but I like my space.
- Dieting
Everyone seems to be on a new diet these days and they all LOVE to talk about it ad nausium. I just wish that I had something to contribute to the conversation instead of being forced to be on the listening end...solo. I just simply don't have the will power. If I die tomorrow, I want my pasta, chocolate, cheesecakes, pizza and bread with butter! Just not willing to give those up for a leaner body...I think exercising would be more beneficial than any diet...which goes back to my point above...if I only liked to exercise! It seems like dieting is another word for selective anorexia. Except for when your are anorexic you're not choosy, you just don't eat anything...I don't see the big difference between the two except on is high socially acceptable and the other is highly socially unacceptable!
- the Outdoors
I always admire the "outdoors type" however, I just don't last long outside. I get bored and bit and burnt too easily to ever enjoy being outside. Which is one reason that I have the inside jobs and Hubby gets the outside ones. If it were up to me, I would let the grass go all natural. I admire other peoples landscaping, but it is just not for me. I did try a flower patch one year. Took me several days to get a 2 x 3 foot patch together. The animals ate all the flowers within the week. That was my only and final attempt! Now this one would change if we lived...say, on the beach - then I would be outside all the time...heat, sun and sand are 3 of my favorites!
- Interior Decorating
I always love going into other peoples houses that seem to have it all together. I don't know how they piece it all together. I also don't care for dusting, so the less clutter, the less I have to dust (or what I would have to dust if I actually dusted!)
- Mini Vans or (Mini Buses)
I miss my Jetta. It was hard to part with it. Don't care much for the van, as practical as it is, just don't like it a whole lot. We would probably have like 8 kids by now if I could get over my fear of driving anything bigger! Maybe it is God's "adoption control" of our family now!
That is all I have for now...I just got a new camera that I can actually take with me where ever I go, so I hope to be able to post more pics!
Also - got to put a great big THANKS out there to my sister in law who brought the boys pop guns back from the beach. We've had them about 2 hours and I am ready to...well...scream???
