Simple Wishes

Ten things I wish I was doing right now

1) Hanging out in a pub with all my best drinking friends, especially Justin, who is sorely missed by us all after his move home.
2) Laying on my mom's couch with my sister and mom, drinking tea and watching sappy movies. (Mom's loud and annoying boyfriend is elsewhere)
3) Sitting on the beach with my dad, each of us reading and eating chips, drinking soda. Grapes on standby. Dad interrupting every few minutes with random thoughts and a giggle.
4) Blogging from some cafe in Paris, coffee and yummy french treat nearby.
5) Taking a nice big over-the-top bubble bath, with a glass of wine and some Dido on the IPOD.
6) Watching my nephew Caine perform anything he wants to. Plays, Songs, Sports, VideoGames, anything. As long as he smiles. Taking him to Burgerville after!
7) Getting a long-overdue massage, with fiance laying on the neighboring massage parlor. Iced Tea after, and a long nap.
8) Having dinner with Lu, talking and talking about all kinds of stuff that we find funny. Her tears are from laughing so hard. No worries, just good fun and food!
9) Getting good news: won the lottery or someone is coming to visit. I'd settle for anything good! Someone sent me a cheesecake?!!
10) Having a glass on wine, putting on comfortable pajamas, and watching crap tv on Tivo and going to sleep really early!

This list seems to tell me that I am seeking peace, food, the love of family and friends. Diagnosis: Big fat dose of Homesickness, with a touch of PMS. Well, since only Number 10 can be achieved tonight, that's what I will try for. Some wishes come true.
