Correct, the correct word to use in this sentence is "were." When expressing a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact condition, we use the verb "were" instead of "was" for the second person singular (you) and for all persons in the plural. This is known as the subjunctive mood. So, in this case, "I wish I were ready to go shopping at the mall."
