I Wish...

Sometimes I just like to sit down and let my thoughts run away with me.

Scary? Maybe. Not always, though. Usually when I let my thoughts run away, the results can be pretty bad. Other times, I come up with some pretty damn brilliant ideas... a little crazy, but hey, that's how I roll! Tonight's brain train has been riding the "I need, I want, I wish" rail. So now I've decided to compile my nice little list of things I want. Or need. Or just wish for. You get the gist. Now read on!!!

1) First, I wish for Tundra to bark less. I'm saying this because he's barking right in my ear at this very moment and it's starting to really irritate the hell out of me. I love my dog, I love my dog, I love my dog.......

2) A working air conditioner in my car!!! Yes, this is superficial, but you try driving a black car with dark interior in super-freaking-humid 105 degree weather with the windows down, the sunroof open, and no cool breeze to alleviate it! Hopefully this will be fixed later today. It just needs charged up and some stop-leak placed in it, and that is on Josh's agenda for the day. :)

3) A bag of tortilla chips. I'm eating chips and salsa and my chips are reduced to crumbs. Bah. I plan on going to the grocery store this afternoon but that doesn't help me NOW. I also may or may not have sat on the chips trying to settle into my recliner with my laptop. Woops. :P

4) A date night with Josh. Josh and I haven't been on a date in so long, I think I've forgotten what it's like. But between being busy, being tired, and being *ahem* broke, that doesn't leave a whole lot of room for getting out of the house to just have a great time for one night.

5) No barking dog. No, I do not want to get rid of my dog. I love him, remember? I just want him to shut up.

6) Marriage equality. And on an even bigger note, acceptance of differences. Need I say more? For those of you who want to be bigoted and small minded about this: stop reading my blog right now. Seriously. I'm bisexual and proud, and I don't care what anyone thinks. Everyone deserves the same rights. There's no need to be ugly about it. It's the small mindedness and judgmental nature of society that makes it hard for everyone to live in peace. Imagine a world where everyone can be right in their own way and it's totally okay.

7) A vacation! I haven't been on a vacation in almost 12 years. True story. I didn't even get a honeymoon after Josh and I got married. Another true story. I got married, and then went to back to work the next day. I'm dying to find an excuse to get out of Kansas for a little while. We'll see how that goes.

8) Seeing Pomplamoose in concert. Live. In person. It's been 3 years since I've been to a concert, it's my turn to pick a show to go to, and I freaking love Pomplamoose (Obviously. If you haven't noticed this fact after reading my previous 3 or 4 posts, then you're just not paying attention!). When they decide to tour again, you can bet I will keep my eyes peeled for a nearby show, because the Midwest totally needs some Pompla-love.

9) A new tattoo. I've already drawn it up, I just need to find a good artist to throw the ink down. The tattoo is a tribute piece for my mom: an eighth note with a butterfly perched on the flag with her date of birth and date of death flanking the eighth note. This tat will go on my left leg/ankle. For the record, while I am on this subject, I love ink. I already have 2 done: 2 koi fish swimming around a Pisces symbol on my right leg and a treble clef on my right foot. One is all it takes to get hooked, and I've been ready to get the next several done since I got my first one.

10) Sleep. It's 4:30am, Josh should be getting home from work here pretty soon, and I've got a long day ahead of me. Maybe I should stop wishing for it and just crash out for the night....

(And in case anyone is wondering, numbers 1 and 5 came true finally. Tundra got bored and sacked out on the dining room floor. :) Win.)
