Yes, something else to add to my list of wants. I have a bad case of the wants--actually, I've
had the wants for a long while now. In fact, I sound much like a five year old describing her Christmas wish list, but add 20 years and make it an I-want-it-now-even-though-there-is-no-special-occasion pouty face and bad attitude. Somewhere, somehow, I developed this idea that I should be just as accomplished and have all the haves that the adults in my life already enjoy (i.e. my parents or other 40+ year olds). Where did this come from? Well, it's time for the big girl pants because I am quickly realizing I am the poster child for impatience. I once wanted (and mostly got) the shoes, the makeup, the clothes, then for a while it was the dinnerware pattern, the small kitchen appliances, the flatware set. Later it was the house, the doors, the granite, the tile, the shutters. I have since graduated to the things that fit inside my house: rugs, lamps, pillows, linens, side tables, headboards.
Surprisingly, there is only one more piece officially missing from my home. It's a kitchen table. Thanks to
craigslist, I have the beginning of the table. (yea!)
Soon it will be topped with some sort of round table, preferably with a dark stain. Unofficially, I have like 15 more house wants. Enjoy my recent faves while I work on becoming a better person who is not so materialistic.
