I think the problem is that I cleaned out my bathroom drawers today just like my husband would have. I didn't look at every item, analyze it, and categorize it, and fret over what to do with it which is typically what I do. I opened the drawer, pulled out big essentials like toothpaste and brushes, and dumped the remaining contents into the garbage. Hurray for me, only now my mind is still.
Other things I want to want to do:
I want to want to run. I used to run. But now when I run parachute butt happens. If parachute butt has never happened to you, you still have some muscle tone. If it has happened to you, you know exactly what I mean. Also, my feet start to hurt and my legs get tired and then I can't breath and not running is so much funner.

| You see what I mean?? Parachute butt can be a natural phenomenon where your butt actually takes the place of the parachute. |
I want to want to control what I eat. I feel sooo much better when I put the good stuff in and keep the bad stuff out. I don't need will-power because I will eat anything. I need won't-power.
I want to want an immaculate house and sometimes I actually do want one, but most of the time I only want one when somebody comes to my door unexpectedly. I just can't imagine that I'll be on my deathbed and say, "I wish I would have spent more time cleaning." But who knows?
I want to want to wear cute jewelry, I really do. I think jewelry looks great on everyone but me. Most people wear jewelry, but jewelry wears me.
I want to want to write another book. I've written two middle-grade fiction books (both unpublished), but what if I can't do it again? What if my nest book turns out stupid and I fail? I know my other books aren't published but they're not bad for what they are, a first attempt in my younger years. Right now I can't even write a complete grocery list. But I can write checks:)
What do you want to want to do?
