Party fever has kicked off since last week! December is always a super-packed calendar for me because of birthdays (5 birthdays) and Christmas parties (countless), plus holiday shopping and gift-wrapping and gift-giving!
Speaking of gifts, I've already spent a lot for gifts to friends, godchildren, office mates and still, that doesn't cover everyone, like family. I figured, if I selfishly spent that money on myself, goshdarnit, the things I would've bought! So, I'll indulge myself for a while and daydream about:
MY CHRISTMAS (and birthday) WISH LIST 2008
1. Black thigh-high leather boots
I'll be back in Cologne in February so I need winter footwear. I've never enjoyed Cologne very much before, but this time, it's all about rediscovery. Can't wait!2. An Obama-Biden 2008 yard sign
My 70-plus year old buddy Dick from LA came close to sending one to me, but his dear Republican heart just wouldn't let him. At least, he sent me a framed LA Times poster of the front page of Nov. 5, the day after Obama won the presidency. But not without a sarcastic note saying: So, you're an "Obama" fan? I'm sure the quote marks have a significance.
3. French language books, most especially:
I'm serious about learning French this time. So damn serious, you betcha.4. Nenuco agua colonia
My favorite scent from my high school days. I always feel happy when I'm wearing this scent, but I've been having tough luck finding this in the stores nowadays.5. Books -
A.J. Jacobs' The Year of Living Biblically
HTML for Dummies
Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Dummies
Patrick Suskind's Perfume
6. iPod shuffle portable speakers
Chico told me there are cheap ones from China, maybe P400 each. But I wish he'd just get it for me instead of telling me where I can buy one. Hmph! *arms akimbo*
7. Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope audio book
Barack Obama reads to me about... Barack Obama. Double oh... my... God...8. Mango winter coat
Penelope Cruz is my new goddess of hotness and Mango has all my savings.9. A set of wine glasses
I've been a wine addict for a while now and I wondered how I could've survived without owning a set of glasses. Once I have them, there's no limit to the wine parties my friends and I could have for no reason at all.----
Since my friends and family don't read this blog, I hope, as I like it, I don't know how I can not-so-subtly hint that I want these things. Hmmm... thinking... seriously thinking... scheming... diabolically scheming... *strokes chin*
