I Wish

Reading Wish Jar put me in mind of my little book of wishes. Few things feel as blissful as looking back through the pages and checking off the wishes that have come true. Some will forever be a wish, such as i wish i knew him before the war or i wish there were no such thing as dust. It's so annoying. Here's a few of the wishes that came true:
~i wish that Pier 1 still made those cranberry balsam candles (even tho they discontinued them again, it was still astonishing that after i wrote it down, the next christmas there they were-the best scented candle ever!)
~i wish i didn't feel hate so much.
~i wish for "Dear Frankie" for Christmas. hope! hope!
~i wish i weren't allergic to doggies and kitties. (thank you Claritin!)
~i wish i could write a cool looking capital g. (it's vastly improved, tho not perfect)
~i wish that Jenny Penny didn't spend so much of her time working. (i feel completely responsible for her getting laid off b/c of this wish. but she is currently employed again.)
~i wish i had more time (guess i brought unemployment on myself that time)
~i wish i could sew or knit or crochet (i can knit!)
~i wish i had a more reliable car. (but i still jean-michel!) (jean-michel was my mazda that has since gone to fr. michael)
~i wish The Pop Shop in NYC never closed. I Keith Haring. (well the website is back so that counts!)
~i wish i could afford new carpeting (i now have fabulous phony hardwood floors!)
~i wish i could stop staring at his picture. (can't even remeber his stoopid face)
~i wish he wasn't the president. he irritates me. (yay! i like dubya so much more since he isn't in office.)
~i wish Allison would email me.
There's a few more to add to my book, like i wish that keri smith gets better right quick and i wish you all the happiness in the world, but there'll always be more wishes. Hopefully there will be many more to check off in the not so far off future! x's and o's to you, dear reader!
