*I wish, I wish upon a star*

I wish:

I could sleep in as late as I did when I was single.
My dog didn't bark at every little thing she hears.
My "No Whining" sign was effective.
I had a diet coke fountain pop machine in my kitchen.
That my morning coffee made itself.
I could take a shower without having to entertain my kids, in the bathroom, while taking it.
I could lay by a pool and enjoy the summer weather, simply to get an even tan.
I didn't have to listen to a kids DVD almost every time I drove my minivan.
I didn't have to fill/wash sippy cups all day long.
I never had to pick up toys.
I got to eat gourmet meals, not prepared my me.
I had a day to 'get it all together'.
Babysitters were free.
Someone else would plan my life for me.
I had a McDonald's ice cream cone machine in my house.
I fit into every designer pair of jeans I ever wanted.
I had my dream kitchen.
I liked to exercise.
When I said 'goodnight' to my daughter she stayed in her bed and fell asleep.
My kids would eat everything I took the time to prepare and cut into bite-size pieces.
I had the time to read magazines, like I used to.
Someone would apply my makeup and do my hair, everyday.
If I dreamed my grocery list, it would appear in my fridge and cupboards.
I knew how others saw me.
My parents lived forever.
Every movie in the theaters could be viewed at home, while they were still in the theater.
Magical "dates" would be a monthly opportunity.
I could learn to play tennis.
My kids would just share their toys.
My house was somehow joined to my friend's houses on long days between the hours of 4 and 6 PM.
Had the time and energy to sell stuff on Craig's List.
Bud Lite Lime was free.
All high heels were comfortable.
Banks wouldn't charge overdraft fees, just to be nice.
My hair gal would make house calls.
I had wash n go, straight hair.
Someone would detail my car.
Red licorice contained no calories.
I could buy everyone their dream home/location.
Minnesota had summer weather all year long.
A pedicure lasted 6 months.
I could re-do my wedding like all of the stars do.
Month-long vacations were a requirement by law.
Lemon, Orange, and Lime trees could exist in my backyard.

But, then my life wouldn't be what it is....would it?

What do you tend to wish for?

New Look & Decorating a Master Bedroom

Like the new blog layout? 

 I would tell you how to do it, 

but I enlisted "help" and 

really realized I am not techie, at all!

I have been a busy bee...

working away....on lots of projects...

I'm finding it hard to concentrate on one in

particular, and I may be over-multi-tasking.

Is that possible for a woman?

Part of my decorating project is a master bedroom.

So far we have purchased lots of mirrored furniture, a fabric headboard,

window shears, and a standout chair.

So, in my free time I comb the internet for ideas....

And all of these pictures have a taste of what the newly

decorated Master Bedroom will look like.

Okay, some of them I just like for myself!

Thanks to www.housebeautiful.com for the inspiration.

Do any of you have a fabric covered headboard or a sunburst mirror?

If so, do you love it?

Check back tomorrow, 

the next giveaway bead will be introduced!
