Wants vs. Realistic

On the flight back from Disney my parents asked me what I wanted for my birthday.  Yes, I'm going to be the big 4-0 on Feb 17 and I realized that I really didn't want anything.  I got a new car that I'm more comfortable in because it's smaller in December, my strong willed wonder is doing a LOT better, my mom funded a shopping excursion the other week, and my dad funded a makeover (now I have new makeup :-) ).  The things that I want aren't really easy to get.  

I want the new drug I'm on to be as great as it makes me feel and for the MRI to show that my lesions have decreased.  I want to lose a few pounds, but when you want to lose 5 lbs it's so hard to take that tiny bit off.  I want to be more toned, and as I mentioned I joined the YMCA & I've been going regularly.  I want to adopt a second child (thinking foster adoption so older child, but younger than SWW), but the husband worries about me and says he won't be on board until his mother is here to help.  Realistically that's probably not for another 2 years and I worry that I'll be too old.  I've chosen this group.  The website says they're always looking for clerical volunteers and guess who used to be an administrative assistant at a law firm type place?  So yes, I'm very used to computers, offices, and typing.  I can also learn more about foster adoption that way.         

So what am I going to get?  I've asked for a gift card to Ikea because I have a desk picked out.  They have matching filing cabinets w/LOCKS ;-) that are fit under the desk or are tall so I can put all my paperwork inside and little hands (i.e. SWW) won't mess up any organization that I attempt.  Also a new desk chair and lamp, but I haven't chosen that yet.
