What I really, really want.

Today, after rummaging in my purse for this and that and the other thing, I obtained my two (2!) notebooks and maybe a pen, and then, while rummaging in one or the other of the notebooks for some, you know, notes, I found this list:

The above says WHAT I REALLY REALLY WANT (sorry for the reverse view), and the rest of the list goes like this:

• a new car--My New Camry. [< this was in the dark days (after the carwreck, before the purchase of MNC).] 
• plant tulips. [< done.]
• go to Venice in the wintertime 
• desert

CATEGORY--

• house/yard in order for winter
• cooler cover
• lightbulbs
• tulips
• another lamp in BR

vacuum cleaner

fireplace

sweep in BR

wash couch covers once a week

[...it goes on like this for quite awhile. Can it be that what I really really want is lightbulbs? a cooler cover? to sweep in BR? what madness is this? ...]

oven--other stove element

4 burner tops

light over stove?

[SRSLY. ...but wait, new category:]

L.A.

Paris

desert house

cabin 

Dublin

Mendocino

Carmel

Maine/Montreal

Anasazi trip

Seattle

Mississippi River

Milwaukee

South

Everglades

Thank goodness for that second list! 

Apparently, what I really really want on the one hand is an orderly house, with a stove with four burners and a light over it, and on the other hand, I really really want to gallivant, but mainly in America.

But today what I really really really wanted was this:

• to go home and take off my shoes.
• to have my grading be done.
• to have Mexican food show up at my doorstep.
• to have one magical day appear between Wednesday and Thursday, a day that no one knows about, a day that is not on any calendars.
• and come to think about it, to have a stove with four burners and a light over it.

Also, probably,

• an iPad.
