Five for Make It Mine Tuesday: Intangible Edition

I want so many ideas...or ideals...or something.  Things that aren't things, but are incorporeal.  Whatevs.  Here goes my mash-up list (since I missed Five for Friday and Make It Mine Monday) of things that I want but can't necessarily touch:
  1. A mortgage company that can figure my escrow correctly so as to not cause me to have to pay a shortage or get a refund check.  JUST. EFFING. FIGURE. IT OUT ALREADY.  My mortgage payment has changed every year since we bought our house SIX years ago.  In 6 years the mortgage company can't figure it out.  I know we've had some property tax issues, but GEEZ PEOPLE.  Gimme a break!!
  2. A sense of self that does not include taking things so personally and/or getting angry because people don't return the friendship that I give to them.  This includes an increased ability to LET GO.  Even if it means hurting a little more up front, I wouldn't have to deal with the frustration for years and years.  I'd get it all out of the way early.
  3. The brain structure that it takes to make a budget and stick to it.  I do so good and then all of a sudden I'm scrambling because I didn't put this much into savings and overpay our mortgage by that amount.  I guess maybe this one should be "stop being so anal about money when you're doing okay."
  4. For everyone to just get along.  Everytime a holiday comes around, I am reminded of my family and how it seems so difficult for everyone to take care of themselves and let everyone else worry about themselves.  If your nose was meant to be anywhere but on your face, it wouldn't be attached there.  Remember that, my friends.  The new "Danielleism."
  5. I really want to love my job.  But the fact of the matter is that no matter WHAT I do as my job, it will STILL be my job.  It would be wonderful to wake up every morning and smile because I have to go to work.  But work is still a responsibility whether you love it or hate it.  I suppose I will just make the best of the time that I spend away from my job.  That is what counts anyway, right?  RIGHT?!?  Is this thing on??
What do you want that you can't touch?  Keep it clean, friends.

The thing that I want most in the world is for both of my children to be married to the love of their life (lives?), be healthy, amazingly happy, and have some reasonable financial stability. I want them to be able to play with as much gusto as they work and to enjoy life as much as I do. I also would like 10 grandchildren, thankyouverymuch, but that's just for me. LOL
