I Want My Own Apartment

Yesterday, I posted this as my "status" on Facebook. Immediately I had several women (and one male friend with designs for a loft) chime in - all in agreement. Clearly, I hit a nerve. So I thought I would state a few more things that I want and see how well they all resonate.

1. I want my own apartment.

2. I want a doorman.

3. I want fresh flowers.

4. I want my laundry washed, dried, ironed, folded, hung and put away for me.

5. I want to do my own cooking.

6. I want to know how to cook.

7. I want my girlfriends (and guy friends) to come and have intelligent conversations with me.

8. I want my husband to arrive showered and shaved.

10. I want my husband to wear matching socks.

11. I want my husband to know how to fix or build anything.

14. I want my children to think like me.

15. I want my children to want what I want for them.

16. I want my children to be just like me (without all the crap).

18. I want to travel the world.

19. I want to have my life mean something.

20. I want to know God really well.

21. I want more joy in my life.

22. I want every child to have a parent who loves them and cares for them well.

23. I want no one to be hungry.

24. I want everyone to have a decent roof over their heads.

25. I want good health care for everyone - somehow.

26. I want decent paying jobs for everyone who needs one.

27. I want a reasonable, working economy.

31. I want a great housekeeper once a week and I will keep it up the rest of the time.

32. I want my home to be organized and warm and when it gets too crazy I want a retreat.

That should do it.

For today.
