Stuff I Want

I was sitting in my kitchen this morning making chocolate chip cookies and really wishing that I had a cookie scoop and I started thinking of all the things that I want.  Last year I tried really hard to want less because we didn't have any money and I had just given up a lot of stuff so wanting just made me depressed.  It turns out it didn't work.  I guess I am a lover of stuff... so here are some of the things I've been wanting lately.

•  a cookie scoop - so my hands don't get covered in cookie dough when I make cookies
• a pineapple corer/peeler thing - I LOVE fresh pineapple but its such a pain to peel and slice
• a Ju-Ju-Be BFF diaper bag - I've wanted a new diaper bag for a while and this is the one that I've found that I like but I just can't bring myself to spend $150 on a diaper bag.  I mean what if I don't like it?  That's a lot of money to spend for something I might now absolutely love.
• a minivan - having 3 kids in car seats in the backseat of my car is going to suck a little but we can't even consider buying a van until we know where we'll be living next year.
• a vacation - I'd really like to take an Alaskan cruise or a Hawaii cruise.  Todd and I are suppose to go next spring for our anniversary but I just don't see how its going to be possible.  I keep hoping it will work out but I haven't figured out how its going to happen.
• a house - I don't need to own it but I want to live in a house again with a backyard where my kids can play and a garage so I don't have to herd my kids to the car and a functional layout that has enough space for all of our stuff.  
• an embroidery machine - I don't actually have time to sew but I'd like to think that someday I will and I'd love to be able to embroider things.  It just sounds cool
