What a Woman Wants

I went to a show at South Towne expo center this weekend called "What a Woman Wants." I had to chuckle a little because what is it that a woman really wants? I change my mind from hour to hour. I was pretty sure that I didn't find most of what I think I want.

Today, I think some of the things I want are:

1. self-cleaning kitchen counters
2. a dryer that not only dries but folds my clothes
3. a chance to watch a real movie in my bed
4. stylish pants that are also comfortable
5. hair that is not so difficult to do something with
6. Pull ups that are the same price as diapers
7. a good walk around the block
8. a warm spring day to play and not feel guilty about the things I am ignoring
9. a day of only happy news
10. more time to do things that are most important

I'm pretty sure most of these things weren't at the show. Some things I did run across:

1. Sexy modest shirts--is that an oxymoron? Don't we usually wear modest shirts to appear not too sexy? Well, anyway, I'm not sure where I would even wear it to. Not suitable for church--even though it is modest supposedly; the kids really wouldn't appreciate it while we played in the yard; and Corbin would never notice that I was wearing anything other than my Walmart pants. So, I might as well save the $34.99.
2. Medical spa treatments. Mmmm, this scares me. I don't want a beauty school drop out trying to make me numb before injecting me with who knows what.
3. Hair, nails and other beautification items. Frankly, I'm just not as into this as I used to be. No time to fuss with it. Just give me the clip and let me feel pretty once a week when I actually do my hair for church (assuming there's time) Matthew did note that my hair was the same as his Little People lady who's molded plastic hair was in a bun. I was very impressed with his observation skills even though I would prefer to think I'm more attractive than a piece of plastic.
4. Fancy shoes. Here again, not into the fuss although I used to love shoes and spent tons of money over the years. These days, I stay pretty basic with the black and brown option in the summer and winter versions. Occassionally I get crazy and wear my red slip-ons. I know the stylish three inch heel makes it hard to kick a ball so I generally steer clear.

As Corbin likes to point out, I don't know what I want and sometimes he's right.
