Tell me about the last time you experienced envy.
I just got a jolt of it walking to the restroom. My new neighbors have a green leather loveseat that is PERFECT! It looks a lot like my old couch... same style, except my old one was tan fabric.

The one I have now is a hand-me-down plaid fabric nightmare... I want a set like my neighbor's loveseat. Just remembered, his name is Toby and he's an insurance agent. Cute, too. :D

2. I don't envy anything...
Suffering is an extension of desire.

4. Any time I see a nice house I have to count my blessings and be
happy that my trailer is snug as a bug in a rug...and that it's my own darned fault for not working anyway. Hard to afford a house on just one income, ya know?

5. I'm usually pretty free of envy
Then I find myself feeling it for the craziest things. The latest was just about a week ago when a woman came into my store wearing the cutest shoes (I have a shoe thing) - and I felt a deep pang of envy because I can't afford to indulge my shoe desires.

Sometimes I drive myself crazy. :silly:

6. I'm the same way... hardly ever feel envious.
That loveseat, though... I want one just like it! :P

Or a plaid one, but not orange and yellow and tan plaid like I have now (yes it is from the 70's)... I want maybe dark green and red and something else plaid.

7. I am envious of any woman who gets to get it on with me.
'Cause I am fine.

14. Today.
I received an e-mail that said: "I'm nekkid on the couch, watching Star Trek." And that sounded like a much better time than work.
