Re: Envy.
Color me green. Envy is the story of my life nowadays.
~hair--my hair is curly, frizzy and unmanageable. I just want it to look presentable. AND I found my first grey hair yesterday...I'm 26.
~body--don't even get me started...I have had body issues since I was 10 years old and they haven't gotten better. I hate my squinty eye, I hate my boobs, I hate my feet, I hate my arms, I hate that I've gained 40 pounds in a 2 year period and haven't been able to get rid of it, I hate that now that SIL has lost 40 pounds it just makes me look more like a cow, etc, etc, etc.
~house--I like my house and it has been a good starter home, but it's just that: a starter home. I want a "real" house with an actual dining room, more than one bedroom (technically we have 2 but the 2nd BR has no door), a fireplace, a driveway (or any parking for that matter), and no paneling on the walls.
~career--I received bad news at work today and I envy people who are doing the jobs they love. I'd really love to be a teacher (not just an aide), but with the way money is nowadays, I can't afford to go back for my Masters and take my Praxis so I can teach.
~money--and in the career vein, I envy people with money to burn. I feel like (even though we are comfortable at this point), we are still skimping and saving to no avail. It irritates me to no end that BIL, who still lives at home with his parents, can go out every weekend and throw money around like it's effing toilet paper and his parents still hemorrhage their own money to support him.
~baby--I want to have a baby so badly. But, I can't afford it, I'm not emotionally ready for it, I'm not mentally ready for it. At the rate I'm going, I feel like I'll be that 60 year old lady popping out a kid.
Lord, that turned into a novel. If you can't tell, I'm feeling pretty down and out at the moment.
