I have to make very important decisions in short amounts of time each day. Decisions often include: Shower or breakfast? Fix hair or do dishes? You laugh now, but in a few short years one of my friends will drag me to the Oprah show, "My Friend Let Herself Go!" because unfortunately, sometimes I must choose dishes.
I find that I spend way too much time on things I don't want to do while the things I do want to do get pushed aside. Take for instance my interest in floor sweeping. Truth be told, I have no interest in sweeping the floor. However, one way or another, it seems to find its way to the top of my list every day. It often manages to weasel its way up there two or three times a day. Another example: fixing food. No matter how many times you do it, it still needs doing the next day. I'm like a child with a white "stop you from opening the door" thing on the doorknob. I work and work to get it off and when I finally do, my dad scoops me up and puts me back in with that darn doorknob blocker. The same work needs to be done again and again, you see, so I don't ever move on to anything else. So, in case I never really get to what I want to do in this lifetime, I thought I'd at least tell you what I'd do, if I could, ere you think my passions include sweeping and other such nonsensical tasks.

In this lifetime, I hope to:
Learn Italian and Spanish
Get back to playing the piano
Learn to play the organ
Publish a children's book
Have enough money so that I can donate my time as a elementary school librarian
organize my closet
organize my cupboards
(who am I kidding) call someone to come over and organize my house
own a little antiques store and go on buying trips across the U.S.
Go on a girls trip to one of the Country Living Antique fairs
Stay at as many of the Country Living "Inn of the Month" Inns as possible
Go on the Ellen show
Go to a HEM concert
Have a small part in one of Jed's movies
Take my family back to Jerusalem
Finish writing my grandparent's histories
Write my own Personal history
Have my complete food storage
Go to at least one baseball, football and basketball game a year
Make a lullaby CD with Jed for our kids
Print my photos and put them in appropriate albums or frames
Finish putting Jerusalem photos and mission photos in appropriate albums
Be able to afford appropriate photo albums for such projects
Read books I want to read
Write an occasional column in a newspaper
Host a pumpkin carving party
Attend the Academy Awards with Jed
Start new holiday traditions with my family
Serve a mission
Be a primary chorister
Get rich enough to buy my families homes near each other
Potty train my daughter

In the next life I hope to:
Be a news anchor
Dance
Be able to play Rachmaninoff's 2nd and 3rd concertos
Not be afraid of singing solos
Be warm all the time
Never sweep again
