Wants vs. Needs

All I want to do right now is procrastinate.

What do I need to do?  Iron Brian’s shirt.

What do I want to do?  Play Momma in Scramble.

What do I need to do?  Shave my legs.

What do I want to do?  Eat an ice cream bar.

What do I need to do?  Curl my hair.  (Yes, I’m using the term “need” loosely here.)

What do I want to do?  Put a hat on my head instead.

What do I need to do?  Clear the mess off the floor.

What do I want to do?  Stalk everyone else on Facebook.

What do I need to do?  The next load of laundry.

What do I want to do?  Look at pictures of Bennett on my phone.

What do I need to do?  Get a bag ready to go for the morning.

What do I want to do?  Admire each and every thing on Anthropologie’s website.

What do I need to do?  Read two chapters before I meet up with some girls next week.

What do I want to do?  Well, actually I read the preface a minute ago and it sucked me in!  I’d like to get on that…

Finally!

A “want’ and a “need” merge into one!  Eureka!

    All I want to do is sleep … ZzZzZzZz … cause the crud hit our house. Hopefully Donovan and I will feel better soon, and Olivia will not get anything. The rain suits the mood.

    I do love it when my need and wants collide. It makes things much more enjoyable. Like, for instance, I hate exercise and need it but I wanted to be outside and get things done around the house. So, I pressure washed the whole house, weeded the flower beds, cleaned out the storage shed and moved firewood last week. Exercise and my “want” rolled into one. Buff arms, heard.
