Wishful thinking

My birthday is coming up next weekend, and while I honestly don't really need anything it is always fun to come up with a little list of wants-if-I-had-the-money.  So here is my birthday list for this year:

A second pair of the regular ladies Toms in grey or navy:

A pair of the new ballerina Toms flats because they're just so damn cute:

Blaze orange saddle pad(s).  I would love to eventually own all red/blaze orange/yellow tack and accessories so that it can double for safety during hunting season wherever I may be!  And while I can't wear any of those colors well with my hair and complexion, they do tend to look stunning on many horses!

Prana's 2012 spring/summer collection is simply beautiful and I'm really digging the following two items:

As well, I think I'll splurge this summer and finally get myself a pair of these, so cute!

I really want to do this sometime soon-ish:

And finally I think the greatest gift ever would be if someone could either find or make some beautiful wood frames in various sizes.  I have several shots I've taken over the past year that I'm really proud of and would love to print and frame for my [future] home.

Wishes/Dreams/Goals

I would call it a wish list, but its more like a dream list - or maybe a goal list.  Whichever way, here it is:

Single horse trailer:

Austrailian Saddle

Barefoot saddle (this one is treeless)

Smart bridle hackamore (By Runningbear)

Mandolin

Treehouse

Horsehair bracelet (I could make these)

Egyptian or Anglo Arabian (w/in next 10 years)

Sweet ski pants that make me look more like woman and less like a little boy (this winter)

Border Collie (w/in the next two years?)

Natural wood bed frame (could also make with help)

Or one of these rooms...

I LOVE this one.  Hahaha.

Master of Science degree

Car rack so I can go cross-country

Mustang - probably the last thing I would obtain from this list because of the time I will devote to him one day; this image is one of the adoptable ones from the BLM this past July (his markings are beautiful!)

I plan on having most of these things with time.  Some I can make; some require a long-term commitment; some require a lot of work; others will require funds I won't have until later in my life.  All (except maybe the treehouse, haha) are attainable though.  Its nice having attainable wishes/dreams/goals.  What is nicer is having the confidence in myself to do the things to reach these goals.  I know the road to all won't be smooth, but I need to focus on all the tiny happy things along the way.  That will make bumps along the way not seem like mountains - and it will keep me a sane person.
