My Wish List

November 30, 2004

There's this wish list meme on LiveJournal...The meme goes - I make a list of things I'm wishing for and if you have something on that list that you don't need, you can send it to me. You make a list, and put it in a comment or trackback to me, and if I have it and don't need it, I can send it to you...

and I just got done telling Monk that I'd rather he didn't view the upcoming holiday as an occasion to get things, rather an occasion to be thankful for what we have. However, I do feel like I need to list the things that I need in the upcoming year, to prioritize and to just send the message out the the universe. I'm including my e-mail address in case there is someone out there who has a used version of what I need, because I always prefer to get things used, particularly if I know the person I'm getting it from.

1) Air purifiers for the living room and my bedrooms...and perhaps for the "office" as well.

2) Ceramic tiles for the back room, so we can do a mosaic floor

3) Various funky shades of housepaint

4) Ceiling fans for the living room and perhaps for the kitchen.

5) A Couch for the living room, and perhaps a comfy chair

6) A couple of small end tables for the living room

7) A new bed

8) A full-sized futon mattress for the kids' bedroom

9) Winter coats for Monk and Cole (size 8 and 4 respectively) Also, long pants in those sizes - the size 8's have to have elastic waistbands because Monk won't wear anything else.

10) More blankets!!! King and Full size. I have exactly one per bed, and for some reason my bedroom is the coldest room in the house. I've been turning on the heat already, not realizing that if I just slept in the living room, I wouldn't need to.

11) A new pair of boots for me. Vegetarian, size 8.5, black, punkish-looking, comfy. My old ones are ripped to shreds, and I still wear them anyway. I could probably also use a pair of dress shoes in the same size, also black, FLAT (I have a few pairs I freecycled with super platform heels that I'd be happy to trade) generic enough to go with any outfit.

12) A copy of Movable Type with a multi-user license.

13) A decend blender

14) non-plastic kitchen measuring equipment (measuring cups and spoons)

Of course, books, mix cd's, and zines that anyone wants to get rid of are always welcome in this house.

e-mail me if you have any of the above that you would like to get rid of in the coming year. I am willing to pay for some of these things, but it may take me a little while to get the money together.

Since I'm here, Monk's birthday is this Thursday, and he has a couple of wishes, too...I'll prioritize Monk's wishes as 1 on my amazon wish list (just sort by priority, and Monk's will be on top)(don't be intimidated by the size of my wish list...I put stuff there so I can remember to look for it when I go to used book stores and whatnot) so if you are feeling wealthy, you can reward him for his smart-assedness which has no doubt entertained you through the years. It's ok if it gets here late. If you happen to have something on my wish list that you'd like to get rid of, e-mail me...I prefer used!

Oh, and if anyone has any old magic the gathering cards laying around, Monk's been playing...and I'm finding most of the kids are getting boxes and boxes of these cards from older folks who used to play and now have boxes of these buggers sitting around gathering dust. E-mail me!
