1. ... to visit Europe, starting with a pint or three in an Irish pub and ending my 6-month trip with an authentic Italian Greek German French Italian yummy dinner.

2. ... to thank those who lovingly care for the elderly.

3. ... more coffee.

4. ... those who are lonely to find a friend.

5. ... everyone to pay it forward once a day: give a smile, a compliment, or a helping hand.

6. ... to thank Mac for this site. I've learned a lot in the P&CE forum. (maybe if I spent more time in the SYW forum, I'd be published by now!)

7. ... to go fishing with my son and load the ice chest with trout and reds.

8. ... all children to be happy, to be encouraged, nurtured, and loved.

9. ... to make it to number 10.

10. ... to hear what you want.

I'll keep my list a little simpler.

I want . . .

1. To have a beautiful autumn in Tennessee.

2. To get an acceptance letter from one of the children's book publishers I've submitted to.

3. To lose ten pounds (okay, okay, fifteen).

4. To get my play ready for the National Ten-Minute Play Competition (the deadline is coming up soon).

5. To get the outside work done around the house before it gets cold.

6. To go get an eye exam (I've been putting it off because they'll need to dilate my eyes).

7. To go to dinner with my best friend.

8. The Cardinals to win the World Series.

9. The P&CE forum to be password protected.

10. To take a drive down the Natchez Trace Parkway this fall (it's run by the National Park Service); the entrance to the Trace is just down the road from where I live.

Creepy and wrong.
1. I want that to be the last Final Destination movie ever. Full stop. No but wait there's more. There's no more.

2. I want Pacific Blue to stop with the macarena-tune ad.

3. I want a sammich.

4. I want my boyfriend's toy frog to stop staring at me.

5. I want to pass my tests next week.

6. I want a cookie. Disregard number 3, please.

7. I want yoghurt to come with clearer warning labels if they're low fat and sugar. Shoddy labeling wrecked a week's worth of breakfast. If I wanted low fat and sugar I'd have cardboard.

8. I want those breakfasts back.

9. I want chocolate. That can be combined with the cookie in chip form. I'm not an ogre.

10. I want to sleep in tomorrow. Damn classes. *slumps off to bed*

I want...

1. to sleep in just one day. I know I could go 12 hours easy, I'm so exhausted.

2. enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. They closed the only easily accessible one.

3. to help those caught 'in between'. They don't have enough money/food/resources/physical health/mental health to function well in society, but don't quite qualify for any aid.

4. to finish my stinking story.

5. to find a job I love doing that makes it feel worthwhile to work every day.

Looking at some of your posts I'm pretty happy to have done a lot of those things.

I've had a pretty charmed life :)

If anyone drops by to offer you three wishes . . . don't take them! It ALWAYS ends badly for the person who gets the three wishes. Better to be poor than to wish for all the money in the world and be hit by a giant safe falling on you.

Just a word to the, uh, wise.
