10 Day You Challenge: seven wants

(ten secrets / nine loves / eight fears)

This one is definitely a challenge - the honest answer is there's simultaneously a lot of things and nothing that I want, so how do I pare it down to just seven?  Do I go material wants or "emotional" wants, for lack of a better word?

1.  Ability to let go.  Of so many things.  Material things (clothes, tchotchkes, stuff I keep "just in case").  Intangibles - emotional baggage, guilt (I still feel guilty about something I did when I was in second grade), grudges (hold these like a pro), anger, sadness, and the list goes on.  I hold on to a lot of things and there are times where it really just weighs me down, and letting go is something I really struggle with.

2.  A boat.  I've always loved the water -- swimming and diving are two things I really enjoy -- and there's just something special about being out in the open water.  We are very fortunate to have a friend who has a boat and one of my favorite summer activities is just going out and cruising (especially around the Cape).  Bonus points if my boat has room for MY HORSE.

3.  A female best friend.  Pretty sure I've already bemoaned the lack of female companionship in my life, but this is my list of wants, so I'm going to whine about it some more.  And I'm talking a real female best friend.  (And bonus points if I'm considered her best friend, too.)  I might put too much emphasis on label, but it's something that's important to me, so judge away.  Sadly, most people either already have a best friend or don't "believe" in best friends, so this ship has probably sailed.  #wahwah

4.  A Harry Allen Pig Bank.  (Way to suck the fun out of it, Harry Allen - it's a piggy bank, you snob!)  I saw these super adorable PIG banks when I was in Seattle at the beginning of this month, and I really, really want one.  They only had white ($125) and copper ($220) in the store, but there's a whole bunch of other colors online.  I wonder if I can convince Marek that we need one of every color...

5.  A yellow Camaro.  Because, duh.

6.  Slim, defined upper arms.  Not scary muscular ones, but nice toned ones.  If I can't have that, then I want pronounced collarbones.

7.  One more day with my grandparents.  Hell, I'd take one more hour, if just to tell them how much I love them and miss them every day.
