***Great question, Ricky! As long as you are talking cars, I used to want an Austin Mini Cooper. Never got one of those, got a Ford Cortina instead. I loved that car...had a broken muffler, so when I drove it the sounds were of a really hot car instead of a $500 wonder that I loved like any of the expensive cars parked at Dana Hills High School.

For a long time in Middle School I wanted some Levi Jeans. I am not sure why I had to wait until 8th grade to get my own Levis (my Mom's dictate). Thats how it worked, though. My daughter Katherine got a pair the other day, and I have had many since then. No longer quite the same thrill although right now mid Pregnancy, I would like to be able to get into my high school Levi's immediately post partum! *Sigh*

Ah hah! I thought of one I wanted that I did not get!

I wanted ballroom dancing lessons. Never got them! Mom offered them to my older siblings who naturally did not want them...along comes Julie who would LIKE them and NO offer comes along....

Alrighty, Ricky, I will be looking for some classes......and won't wait to drive my Mini Cooper wearing my old jeans to do it!

**Glad to see you!

With Purpose and Passion,
