Who do you envy?

Angie · 01-28-2005, 11:42 AM

Right at this moment, as I sit here in my huge baggy sweats and fear the chilly air that is awaiting me outdoors, Alisa is in Hawaii on a nearly all expense paid trip living it up and having a blast. No responsibilities, no worries. Just her and a few friends runny around causing havoc, I'm sure.

I love her to death. She's my evil twin! My best (REAL) friend! A pal and a confidant! She is what makes me smockin! But damn, I'm so jealous right now!

Ok, other than the fact that if I were in Hawaii I wouldn't be seeing my kids tomorrow... BUT STILL! It's a frikken practically free trip to Hawaii in the dead of winter. I mean, c'mon, who wouldn't be jealous?

Anyone you envy at the moment?

I envy my married friends in SD that just bought a beatiful BRAND NEW townhome. Their street is still dirt, the houses down the street are still skeletal. The place is beautiful. The exterior is actually something I like, good colors, nice brick work, wrought-iron accents. She's an artist so the place is also tastefully decorated on the inside. They got married four months after we did and now they have a real home, not just another transitory place. Two car garage, sprinkler system, brand new appliances, you name it.

Man, I am so jealous.

I envy Oprah.

Hmmmm. Hard question. There are a lot of people I DON'T envy, but I'm not sure there is anyone I really do envy right now. I admire a lot of people that I feel have made great choices in their life and I use them a role models, but I don't really envy them. I guess I am failry content that things are just the way they are supposed to be in my life at the moment and I really don't want the things other people have - good or bad. It's a strange, but nice place to be.

Rachel Ray, host of Food Network's "$40.00 a Day". She has the coolest job ever.

She also comes across as one very cool kitten. I just love her!

I don't really envy her, I just want to be one of her good friends.

Edited to add: I'm in agreement with NA. I would call it admiration, rather than envy. I love being me, me, me!!

I'm very happy with my life.

Or the lady on the Travel Channel who gets to travel around the country and rate different hotels. That would be fun.

Honestly, my new favorite band The Ditty Bops. If I were musical and every bit as artistic as I once hoped to be, I'd want to be one of the girls in this band. Their lovely ragtime/bandstand/indy melodious sound...their style...their sense of fun. I like everything about them. Especially the carnivale-esque nature of their act, it seems. Vaudeville!

I envy The Ditty Bops for being the imaginary me inside my head, dammit.

Sam (something)? The one with all the energy? I loved the show on Prague....want to go there so badly!!

I greatly admire Idina Menzel. She's incredibly beautiful, wonderfully talented, and married to a talented hottie like Taye Diggs. Must be nice. Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true.

She's now filming Rent. Must be nice.
