What I want: Part 2

#1 I have been thinking about friends a lot. I like friends. I like to be surrounded by people all the time. I think what I really want is two or three close "couple" friends. I like the idea of have a girl friend, who's husband/significant other is a great friend of my husband/significant other...... A couple who is in a similar place in life, one we see often, and enjoy. Kinda like the movies, but life is never the movies. Nonetheless it is something I want.



#2 I want a job. I do feel that this might be too General. One problem I have is that I have a hard time defining what I want here. But that is the point of this blog post! So here we go!
-Well paying!
-I want the job for experience, so I can relate to other workers.
-I seem to have an affinity to environmental topics, Water purification, alternate fuels, pollution. Not sure why, but I have enjoyed the topics when they come up in school.
-I love the idea of lab work and research. It is learning! It may be tedious and repetitive, but I love it!
-I like process design
-I like working with people
-I want to stay in Phoenix
-I am a hard worker, and I am willing to work hard and put forth the work needed, but I would prefer not to work ridiculous hours, as I don't want to get burnt out


#3 CAR! I think I want an SUV.....which surprises me. More on this when I figure it out better.

What I want: Part I

There are a couple things it is REALLY easy to say I want.

#1 I want quads



I think that when my family is out quadding, we bond better than we ever do. We are all happy, because we are having fun, and thrilled to be outdoors. We all get along together and we create memories that last forever. Every time I go way too crazy on an ATV, I feel a thrill, and I feel freedom, and I think I actually know what life is about. I think it is a fantastic habit for a family!

#2 I want a piano, and to teach all my kids to be musically talented



Playing the piano is the number 1 way to "unstressify" me. I NEED it, more than I can explain!

#3 I want to get married!

This is actually quite an accomplishment! I think I often rejected a home life, because I was scared of being trapped, and bored. But I think that I can have everything I want, while making my goal to be a mother in Israel my number one priority!

So these are the easy ones! Though I have to say, that number 3 was not easy to come by, and I only believe it about 87%, the resit is faith!

I have discovered something this week...... Cooking makes me happy! Literally, it doesn't take as long as I thought it did, and I can make and entire batch of cookies, and not eat a SINGLE COOKIE, and I am so happy that I have made others happy by making them!!!!! I have literally made several meals, and not eaten a single bite, and I get a huge amount of joy from it! Cooking makes me happy! As such, this new discovery brings a whole new list of wants!


#1 Fully stocked Pantry,

All the herbs, and seasonings you can thing of from cinnamon to curry!
Pots, and pans GALORE! Everything, mixing bowls, rolling pins, measuring, and a MIXER!

#2 GOOD (easy, practical, yummy) cookbooks!

#3 People, to feed!


I have a small cookbook, full of family favorites, my goal for the summer, is to cook EVERYTHING in the cook book. Though it is slightly unrealistic, (58 recipes) I think, like Julia and Julia is sounds really fun! I am glad to discover something else that makes me happy!

Joy!

Hope.....

I am sure any of my female friends, will find this absolutely entertaining.


I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire? ~Zsa Zsa Gabor
Women are never disarmed by compliments; men always are. ~Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband, 1899

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck? ~Linda Ellerbee
There are much easier things in life than finding a good man. Nailing Jell-O to a tree, for instance. ~Author Unknown
If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle. ~Rita Mae Bro

I got all these from this website......enjoy! http://www.quotegarden.com/men.html




Now to today's blog....I once heard a quote Twain I believe (but i couldn't find it on google) So i repeat it the best that I can "I can show any man in the world how to get what he wants, you show me a man who knows what he wants...." This is how I feel.....recently I complain a lot because I don't feel like my life has turned out to be what I want......But let me make a VERY important point. I HAVE gotten everything I KNEW I wanted. For example:


I wanted to go to England....I went




I wanted to graduate college....I did!





I wanted a full ride scholarship.....it was, and my car, and gas, and rent, and books and England!
I wanted to move out before I married.....I like out of my parents home now



I wanted to buy my own car......500 VWJ!



I wanted to graduate High School with Honors......for anyone who knows me.....
Do I need to go on?

The problem is, sometimes all we know is what we DON'T want! but this isn't good enough! There could be millions of things we don't want. we HAVE to know exactly WHAT we want.

Today I feel more hopeful than I have in a long time. I really believe if I can decide what it is that I want, I will get it! Haven't I already proved this to myself? How did I forget that? Are you ready to decide what it is that makes you happy?

Here is the goal for the summer......To develop exactly what it is I want. I don't think it needs to be detailed, or have many things on it. Just the few joys that make me happy. Every time I post, for the next few posts, I think this will be the theme......
I have absolutely no doubt that one bad day, could make me forget this......So today, I will go as far as I can on this feeling, and we will see where it ends up! One thing I know for sure is I want to be happy, and I think this will Help!

Graduation!

I wasn't sure that I would get to walk this semester in graduation. Some complications with my credits, and other misunderstandings, but then about a week before graduation, I found out that I COULD walk with all my freinds. I called my mom right away. She was so excited I had to send out about 60 graduation annoucements! I had so much fun. I really think that I will miss all my freinds at school, people that I never see in a social scene, but I saw more than my freinds.........I am so gratuful I got to be with my freinds at graduation. I am so glad that I have SO much family that supports me. Now.....I need a job.

yay!

Death and Life

It's official. We are never who we thought we would grow up to be. The sooner we accept this, the happier we are.

However controversial this statement, I declare my freedom of speech with it.
