It's been 2 bad ones in a row for us. Here's hoping there's not a perfect trifecta headed our way.Quote:

Nothing else matters right now.
I want that for you, too, Flybye.

I wish you all peace, health, happiness and love. Those of you looking for jobs, I hope you find employment.
I hope my 16 year old dog(Lab mix), Kelly, will continue to hang in there, and our one cat, Patches(19) continues to be healthy. We just put a new roof on the house, so Christmas is going to be light. I would like a fleece vest, heart rate monitor and a hooded zip sweatshirt. If money was no object, a Dell Notebook, Garmin GPS(405), Nintendo DSi - I love electronics :-))))

A vacation.
We've been planning for a two week vacay in January but through an endless series of costly follies we've been unable to book-it. We've been telling DD for months now that we're going, I'd really hate to dissappoint her :( Poor girl has been in daycare for 52 weeks in a row. We all need a break.
I'm planning on a low-key Christmas. Mom's been out of work since last December, so I know their finances are stretched to the breaking point. Since I know dad will insist we have something to open, I'm going to ask for a large folding table, as I keep having to borrow theirs. I plan on giving out my homemade jams, breads, soaps, sauces and pastas. I wish I had money to give them, but I barely scrape by as it is.
I wish peace, health, and happiness to all of you. This year has had it's ups and downs for me, and I have a feeling next year will be worse while we deal with several elderly family members.
I'll be going to this store :p
The sign reads "GoodLookingMEN" :D
(I was a bit disappointed though, all I could see was a grumpy woman.)
I really want a lovesac bean bag. That would be awesome for movie watching by the fire!
LOL...funny.Quote:

Christmas came pretty early and in a big way
<---
Earlier this year my DH's grandma died. She left her kids a nice bit of money. Before my MIL received her inheritance she had already told me that she'd like to buy me a bike. She and my hubby (and my late FIL) are big time into cycling and have been nosing me in that direction for years.
I also had my diamond reset. I lost significant weight about 5 years ago and have kept it off, so my wedding set hadn't fit right in years. I had been wearing an ugly and uncomfortable spacer to keep from losing it. Plus I didn't really care for the original setting and it was impossible to clean under the stone, so we had my diamond remounted.
Hubby and I are going on our first trip since our honeymoon for our anniversary (12/28/96) this year, too. I've never been to Vegas and DH wants to show me Death Valley, so that will be really nice in December when it's cold, snowy, and dreary here.
2009 is finishing on a really high note for me. Only fair since DH and I were both sick on New Year's Day with tonsil and sinus garbage.
Here's to a better 2010 for those who had a rough year.
Woo-hoo! Mom called today to say she got a job!:D It's through a placement agency, so she'll have to go through a 3 month probation period, but hey, that's 3 months of full-time pay that she wouldn't have been getting. I hope a) she's happy there, and b) they taker her on after the 3 months.
Hmmmmmm,
This is a hard one...what do I want?
All my kitties (yound and old) to stay healthy (can't go thru the loss again).
I get a new job --and I actually enjoy or even semi enjoy going to work.
Stay healthy thru my training.
That my SO gets motivated on being active and shed a few of those unhealthy pounds so she feels better.
(and world peace, of course!...or at least people will start TRYING to be nice to each other)
On the materialist side...
New TV
Compression socks
Gift certificate at running store to go towards new shoes
That is really all I can think of unless I do the "pie in the sky dream list"--so that would be the winning lottery ticket!;)
