Envy.
Looking at all of these engagement pictures are making me realize how much I truly do envy the ladies with the awesome photogs. It makes me so sad I didn't have much say in who we had do our pictures, and to this date I still think that will be my biggest regret.
Also - house envy. I love our little house for what it is, but there's so much more I would like to have, or love to do, but no time, effort, energy or space to do it. *le sigh*
So... envy, anyone?
Re: Envy.
I have photog envy, I have dress envy, I have cake envy, I have house envy, I have car envy, I have hair envy, I have purse envy, I have job envy.
I'm a jealous person.
ETA:
I do not, however, have penis envy.
I envy people who have houses, so they can make them their own. I am hating my apartment hardcore right now- our a/c broke again last night and "slept" in swelter before the 6am wake up call I had for the board meeting. This is on top of discovering our windows weren't cut level and so hanging the curtain rod that we got was a very special process indeed. Oh any my consistent complaint with the latex painted plywood on our bathroom sink. Basically, I just want to get a house that I can modify myself or at least have something that works.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Are we talking about women wanting penises? Because I would like to weigh in on that.

Hi bestie!
Confession: I have one friend that I can't hang out with anymore because I'm so envious of her and what she has- and what she wastes and doesn't care about. Only my husband and mom know how I feel.
shiitballs. i had a typo and now you quoted and its forever preserved.
There, I fix.
....you are currently incubating one. Didn't you know?
Ha - don't rush yourself... trust me.

Sure, if you like constantly chasing her around so she won't pull plugs out of the wall, or eat dog food, or drown her stuffed monkey in the dog bowl, or put your keys in the toilet, or get your wallet out of your purse and pull everything out of it, or pull the straw out of your sonic drink and use it as a sword.
All of these things happened last night. She was in a mood.
Ditto - (except for the car envy, which I finally got over when I finally replaced my first ever car).
From the amount of money I spent on the wedding, I really didn't like it. I should have paid more attention to everything, but oh well.
More than half my house is undecorated or empty, we have two rooms that are empty. And it will probably stay that way for a while.
I also have baby envy, but maybe that will go away soon. I envy those who have an easy time getting pregnant and don't have issues.
And I also have body envy, which I've had issues with since I was young.
Oh this just made me LOL...

I meant to add body envy. I definitely have that.
I'm right there with you too on these.
Stand up for something you believe in.
<-------- What, that little thing over there? Why thank you!
Picnik makes pictures fun! ;D

I definitely have baby envy. That's obvious. I have photog envy. I liked mine, but other people's were just plain better. I also have body envy. I need to lose some more weight. My bump is bigger than Rach's.
Also, "penis envy" is a constant running joke with my husband.
I have house envy for sure. Although we just put in another offer that is likely to be excepted, I'm not in love with the house. It's a great investment opportunity and it will set us up to be better off in a few years. I just want to redo the whole thing and we won't be able to do that right away.
I envy anyone who is able to be a SAHM. I would quit my job and do it in a heartbeat if it were feasible for us.
I want smaller boobs too- not happening right now-
I also envy people who have great paying jobs- I wish I had more moola (dont we all)
I'd say boob envy for me too. I'd just prefer to start from scratch.
Not too much else, though.

I have hard core body envy right now. I hit +20 lbs this week. Makes me want to throw up how unhappy I am with my body. And here I am ready to start C25K and it's raining like every day. So I was going to do the Shred, and now my doctor says wait until she clears me (still trying to get rid of a stupid kidney infection)
I HATE my body right now. I ditto DD - my bump is bigger than Rach's
Me too.
I don't mind the size of my boobs too much, but just hate the shape of it. I want nice round ones like celebs have.
I also envy naturally athletic people like my husband who can go months/years without running and still run an 8 minute mile. Or run an 9 min/mile pace for 3 miles. I suck at running.
I definitely have baby envy. I particularly envy anyone who has a blissfully happy and carefree pregnancy, because after my m/c I don't think I will ever have that, and I want it.
I have some photog envy, but mostly for engagement photos. Ours sucked (although I won them for free, so I can't complain too much), but it did help me decide what I didn't want in a wedding photog.
I have house envy. I like our house but I wish we had waited to buy until I was out of school because we could have afforded a much better house than the one we have, and heaven only knows if/when we'll be able to sell ours.
I don't so much have body envy as fitness envy. I want to be able to blink and be in good shape.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
We did not do engagement pics b/c J thought they would be a waste of money. Although I agreed, I still kind of wish we had them done.
I also have house envy. The prices of houses here is so crazy that I'm not sure when we will be able to afford one. Sure, we own our condo, but we don't have a yard and can't do any structural changes without clearing it withour neighbor.
Dx: Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism After 2 years TTC & failed IUs,we have our IVF baby born 9/24/11
LO#2 aka 'Miracle Baby' Orig. EDD= 9/28 EDD moved to 10/3/13

I have body envy..I also recently hit +20lbs and am just disgusted. It's awful. I feel like I spend a lot of time thinking about it too, which isn't helping.
I have house envy...I love that our house is brand new construction and we don't have to deal with upgrades or even much upkeep, but it's not somewhere that we can have a child. It's 3 floors of slippery hardwoods, not an open floorplan at all. When I look at our house all I can think is "where would we even PUT all the baby stuff?"
I have hair envy like crazy...Mine is stick straight, medium brown and I have no skillz. I can't even braid my own hair. Most days it's in a ponytail.
I have hair envy. I feel like mine never looks great no matter what I do to it.
I have house envy. Even though we own a (town)house, I feel like maybe we should have waited a little longer and just bought our "forever" home.
I envy women who seem to be able to do it all....host perfect parties, make wonderful meals, run around with their 4 children, decorate their home to the nine's, etc. Maybe I read too many blogs, but I just don't know how they seem to have and do it all!
