Wishing : i were much, much better at time management
Enjoying : being back in school, living here, the experience of this at the same time as my husband, friends in the area, studying...
Waiting : for school work to give me enough of a break that i can pick out the computer i need and order it
Liking : the new chairs and bench look at our dining room table
Wondering : what it'll take for me to really get good at what i enjoy and still be able to do what i enjoy less
