I think the reasons for me jealousy change with time. Sometimes I'm jealous of people who get lots of comments. Then I get jealous of people who are really connected to the blogging community and have blogger friends. When I was unemployed, I was jealous of people who had fun jobs. Sometimes I get jealous of people who write well.
I dunno though. At the end of the day, none of this matters. I'm a pretty cool person and anyone who reads my blog should be able to see that. :)
I used to with homeowners because they did beautiful decorating and DIY projects. Now I'm a homeowner, YAY! Now the jealousy switched to families with babies.
Sometimes I do because it seems that so many bloggers never write about anything bad going on in their lives. It's so easy to read a blog and see all of the perfect pictures of their perfect children, pets and lives and feel jealous. It's because as you look at the dirty dishes in your sink, that laundry you aren't quite done with and the koolaid stains on your kid, it makes you feel a little crappy when you see only the wonderful side of someone else's life.
You have to remind yourself that others go through the same thing as you... they just aren't showing it.

I'm jealous of the bloggers who don't get in trouble for blogging..or reading other people's blogs...from work.
Or those who are brave enough to try and not get caught =)

I hear ya! I have the same jealousy issue as you! I want to get married, and it could be coming up soon for me. But I don't know for sure, ya know? I'm reading all these blogs of women who are engaged or talk about their hubbys.
I'm just like, 'I want a hubby :( Someone who loves me even though they hafta to live with me 24/7' haha.
And I'm jealous of the mommies. I want to be a mommy so badly. Maybe not anytime soon. But still. :]
I'm with you there, I'm incredibly jealous of the ones who travel more than me (almost anyone nowadays). I would totally sell my eggs too if I thought it would make a difference. :)
and i'm jealous of people who have read worthy blogs and are funny. like you ryan, you jerk. I guess I'll just have to keep reading and tell my friends about it.
i used to be the same way! but I just got engaged so that is all I will be blogging about im sure. trying to plan a wedding is stress full and im just getting started
