WANNA BE WHY???

My life has been a conglomeration of WANNA BEs.

EXAMPLE:

I WANNA BE OLDER

I WANNA BE YOUNGER

I WANNA BE SHORTER

I WANNA BE COOL

I WANNA BE BLONDE

I WANNA BE THIN

I WANNA BE MARRIED

I WANNA BE A MOMMY

and so it goes. Well, I did get older. Never got younger. Being taller than the jocks in junior high AND high school is definitely not cool. Tried to be blonde, too expensive of upkeep on the roots. Only been thin for about ten minutes (Phen-Fen). I did get married and got my Mommy Badge (the best WANNA-BE there is).

So now i'm in that mid-life phase of life and I still feel like a kid. I still can't figure out how to wear mascara so I don't look like a five year old applied it. Lipstick looks silly on me. Oh well, maybe after another forty-something years I'll have figured out the art of make-up application.

Until that time, I WANNA BE a good mommy, a good nana, a good wife, a good sister, a good daughter, and a good friend. Mastering make-up application and the wish for futuristic Phen/Fen will hopefully not be too far away.

So, my pursuit of wanna-bes will continue.
