i wish..

i wish i were a funnier blogger but not a lot of funny things happen to me. i've been reading chelsea handler's book, 'chelsea, chelsea, bang, bang' which is just filled with funny stories. I think she makes her own fun most of the time.... by lying to her friends and family. None of it is ever hurtful, just entertaining.

i wish i knew how to work twitter. i have it and i tweet sometimes but no one has ever direct messaged me or tweeted at me with the @ symbol. sometimes i do the #trendingtopics but then i read other peoples and they're pretty boring. i mostly follow celebs and musicians and people who are following me. And other blogs from which i read. I have 24 followers and I only know 2 of them personally. Some people are just out for money on there.. speaking of that, i'd love to get paid to tweet.

i wish i had more motivation. i probably control this to some extent but i'm just not very good at doing something without a light at the end of the tunnel. i always need a light to work toward.

i wish i could make some babies right now. i think alex and i are ready but i want to make sure we both have good jobs that can support us before we start. this hasn't happened yet and the thought of going into appraisal and training for 2 years sets my start date even further back. not to mention the fact that i want to have 2 kids before i'm 30. i'm currently 25. i guess i have some time.

i wish they taught a 'life' class at school. most notably college. some people just don't know how to keep themselves organized, how to do taxes, how to set budgets and manage your own money. i guess they expect our parents to teach us but by the point we're in college, our parents assume we know how to successfully live on our own. key word, successfully. obviously most people can survive on their own, but what about survive and prosper.. lots of people need help with that stuff. alex and i are very lucky that we're pretty smart with the whole 'keeping our life together' thing.

i wish i could work until i was done working and be done. this would make me a lot more productive if i knew i could leave early if i finished all my tasks. i wonder if there's a company out there that lets you do that? oh yeah, real estate would.. hmm. Regardless, summer is a rough time to have an indoor job.. i never see the light of day unless i walk across to the other building for something i need that's over there. i wouldn't even know that it's raining. i also think it's nuts that we spend as much time at work as we do with our families at home. someone needs to shorten the workdays or work week to balance that out a little better. 3 day weekends! who's with me?? productivity would sky-rocket.. at least initially. hopefully someday i'll have this flexibility!

this is enough wishes for a wednesday.. maybe even a week! until next time!
