I want to do EVERYTHING!

This bothers my husband. I truly want to do everything. My mind is consistently reeling with ideas and possibilities. Things I want to experience and try. Things I want to make and create. Pretty much every week I come up with a new business idea that I think would be amazing. I start to plan it out in my head, only to get distracted with a completely different business idea the next week. 


The same goes for crafting. An example being a cake decorating class that I took several years ago. I took one class, and invested in all the tools needed to bake and create delicious and aesthetically pleasing treats (I've only used these tools a handful of times). Or the watercolor painting class where I also bought all the materials needed to paint (I haven't painted a single thing upon completion of the course). 


It also goes for ways I want to enrich myself. Like the Sign Language class that I took, envisioning myself becoming fluent in Sign Language (I never continued past Sign Language One). Or the business class I took and invested 12 weeks and 300 dollars on (and still haven't decided on a business I'd like to do- or actually a business that I could make money on instead of just do as a hobby). 


With summer ahead of me and garage sales and random people to give me ideas, my list of "I Want To" things continues to grow. I'd like to try oil painting. I want to learn how to make and create stained glass. I want to create beautiful mosaics. I want to learn how to make jewelry (even though I don't wear it). I want to use the Quilting Bible that my aunt bought for me one Christmas when I was ready and gung-ho on learning how to quilt, quickly envisioning all the cute things I would make. I also want to know where some words originated from, so I just looked up gung-ho and discovered: Gung ho (Vietnamese) is a slang term in American English used to mean "enthusiastic" or "dedicated" originally used in Marine slang. I regularly look up quilting classes and sewing classes through Joann Fabric to see what is being offered. 


Every few months I look up MATC's Adult Continuing Education courses to see what I'd like to do. I want to learn how to use scary tools that can cut off your fingers so I can make bird houses, bird feeders, bookshelves, and basically anything that you can create with wood. I want to make the bird treats and suet for our feeders. I want to whittle wood and create ice sculptures. I want to have an amazing garden that grows delicious, organic fruit by the buckets. I want to start and finish my wedding scrapbook and then move on to my teaching scrapbook, and then scrapbook for others!


I want to get chickens, goats, and ducks for the yard. I want to foster raccoons and other wildlife to give them a second chance. I want to cook new recipes on a weekly basis (which rarely happens- I often resort to the easy vegetable dishes that I love, but that Dusty is tired of seeing). I want to get a huge fish tank set up and have happy fish swimming around.

I want to have a girls' night where I actually see my girlfriends, make new friends, and get to laugh just by being me. I want to find a church that I can call home. I want to spend time with my sister and niece. I want to visit my friends who live in other states. I want to visit my Compassion children. I want to get my school lessons/units prepared before the school year begins. I want to work out everyday. I want to paint the rooms in my house and organize the basement... I want to keep thinking of things that I want to do.  


I want, I want, I want. Who has time to get bored?
