what do you wish for?

Maddie · Coach

I actually just wrote a list like this down in class.

1. That I'm not pregnant. This is highly unlikely and my period is always crazy, but I worry every time.

2. That I get good grades this semester.

3. That my study abroad works out like I want it to.

4. That I get over my boy.

5. That my boy works on my study abroad program next year, which he is considering (this would actually probably be a bad thing, but I can't help hoping for it).

6. That I can stop eating and start working out again.

7. That I will stop being so tense (I've been really tense recently and I'm not sure why).

-A beautiful, happy, white Christmas

-That the heating bill doesn't totally kill us this winter, because I refuse to suffer and freeze, even if gas is expensive. I deserve to be comfortable!
-That I don't get a letter from my auto insurance company, telling me that my rate has increased b/c I got my first speeding ticket (in 7 years....*sigh*)
-That I get to go skiing sometime this winter
-That I can stick to my plan of paying off my credit card by February, therefore allowing me to save up for the down payment on a house

Yeah, I wanted to do this, but they flat-out refused to let me. Maybe the rules are stricter in MA?

To never have to work again

To have enough money to travel wherever I want

To want something long enough to actually work for it and achieve it. I mean, one day, I will be like, "I want to go teach children in Ethiopia," and start researching it and figuring out how to raise the money and everything, but then, 2 days later, I will be like, "Nah, I don't really want to go teach children in Ethiopia." And then, I will decide I want to work 2 jobs for a year and then take a whole year off and live in Mexico or someplace equally warm and inexpensive, but then 2 days later, I will be like, "Nah. I don't really want to work 2 jobs and what would I do when the year in Mexico is over if I gave up my job?" Or I will meet some guy, be all excited about him and then go on 2 dates with him and never want to see him again. I am actually a really hard worker and know if I could just want something more than 2 days in a row, I would be able to achieve it. What is wrong with me?

To fall in love and get married. Or at least to be dating someone I actually really like and who really likes me. I want to reach the point where I am totally comfortable with someone. I am so sick of first dates and wondering if someone is going to call.

To win the BCBG $1000 shopping spree they always have on their website. I must have filled that survey out 100 times in the past few years and I never win.

That my very sick kittie gets healthy again..

That my other animals and all family members stay healthy..

That money would come our way, so we could buy our dream house.

That my husband and I stay happy with each other forever.

That my husband would let me buy as many purses and shoes as I want.

That me working out so hard with my trainer would start to pay off and I would lose some weight.

That my best friend has a beautiful wedding on Saturday.

itsapinkthing · Coach

That my pregnancy remains mostly uneventful other than a beautiful healthy new baby girl at the end. Oh and an easy labor would be nice ...

That the transition to me becoming a SAHM does not cause undue stress on my marriage and our finances. I am so worried that this is going to be a big adjustment.

That my daughter adjusts easily and stay excited once the new baby is here. She's been an only child for 6 years and I worry how she will handle it.

There is so much but these are on my mind a LOT lately.

ETA: I also wish chocolate would stop giving me heartburn since I can not resist the temptation right now!

Right there with ya AJ -

I wish I could find something that I actually want to do and actually do it! And still actually want to continue to do it!

I wish money went farther - never has so much money felt like so little .

I wish I had more people that I felt close to.

I wish I wasn't so hard on myself, or on everyone else.

I wish that I'd never have to deprive myself of anything I wanted ever again !

I wish I had perfect skin and thicker hair.

I wish I was 6 inches taller, but the same weight.

Christine, have you paid your ticket yet? For FH's last ticket, he purposefully overpaid by about $10 so they had to send him a refund check. The checks are good for about 2 years, and as long as you don't cash them, the ticket doesn't go on your record

. I don't know if it works forever or just until the check expires though. Anyway, even if it goes on your record when the check expires, at least you're only left with one year of higher insurance instead of 3

I agree with Tara. I know in PA, usually traffic school is not an option.

And I have tried the overpaying of the ticket, they mailed me the check (I didnt cash it) and I still got points. Boo-hiss!

Not for us - FH has got a ticket a little over a year ago and we did this. We've even changed insurances since then (so they investigate your records again) and it still isn't on his record - my boss at my old job looked him up to make sure (construction, so she's able to investigate driving records for 'prospective employees'). The check expires next summer, so we'll cash it right before it does, but we'll already be married so our insurance will already have gone waaaay down and we'll be able to handle any slight increase from a ticket.

Maybe it doesn't work everywhere, but it sure has for us!

I wish that one morning I would wake up skinnyminny.

I wish I could take a real vacation, like to somewhere outside of Texas. Hell, I'd settle on somewhere outside of the county at this point.

I wish my exbf would realize his wife isn't going to change and that it's not too late for 'us.'

I wish I knew how to save money.

I wish I had a little more motivation and ambition.

I wish my current crush would stop dating super skinny butterfaces (and start dating me!)
