T13 #7: Thirteen Things I'd Want for Christmas...

if we hadn't agreed to "no presents for each other."

1. yoga mat and bag (would be nice to not have to use the community ones, not knowing how often they get cleaned)
2. iTunes gift card (would like to pick up some more "old" singles so I don't have to chase the cds down)
3. subscription to Bookmarks (have been wanting this for a while, I categorize it as "professional development")
4. 10th Kingdom DVD (been on my amazon list too long, really want it before used copies get outrageous!expensive!)
5. sheepskin slippers (my cheap fuzzy slippers got trashed quickly, hoping these would last a lot longer)
6. rose diamond ring fixed (been years since I've worn it, used to be my favorite ring. Band is broken.)
7. pearl necklace restrung (ex-nephew broke it, didn't lose any pearls. Ex-SIL never offered to have it fixed, has sat for years)
8. 2 pairs button-fly 501 jeans (high school nostalgia, don't even know if these are made anymore)
9. bag Ghirardelli chocolate carmels (probably the only thing I'll get--as a stocking stuffer)
10. 3 Desert Rose place settings (I really like this pattern, it's frustrating to have only one setting)
11. fingerless long gloves, black (I'm fixing to make myself a red pair from a dismantled sweater, but would love a neutral)
12. bottle Messina Hof port (it's good shtuff)
13. garter belt (for my v. long warm socks, my legs are still too fat to keep them where they belong)

T13 #6: Thirteen Things in My Purse

Thirteen Things about Marina's purse Yes, as a matter of fact, I am not feeling all that creative, but at least I posted over here, since I have a book-related post for the other blog. 1. wallet: black, with metal studs. 2. cell phone: a Motorola StarTac, inherited from my husband in 2001. Glad it's still alive. 3. pen: green, found in library parking lot several years ago. 4. mirror/compact: celtic knot design, a gift from one of my son's goddessmammas. 5. camera: Fuji Quiksnap, I'm supposed to take a picture of the Governor's Mansion and send it to the next person in line. 6. tissues: blue, w/roses. Very sturdy, like a paper towel, but without the texture. 7. candy/gum: sour apple gum, icebreakers sour berry, and orange tic-tacs from having seen Juno at Alamo South Lamar. 8. Christmas money: mine and Anthony's, I need to buy a belt with his. 9. padlock and key: for a locker at the YMCA. I want to find time to go more than once/week. Maybe when Morgann is old enough for the childcare room... 10. 2 fabric shopping bags: black and red, self-containable. No excuses for taking plastic home, although I can still use them for lining garbage cans and containing diapers when we travel. 11. reading glasses: black, thin frames, 125 strength. Was surprised I needed them already. getting old... *sigh* 12. iPod: I always bring it along to listen to audiobooks. I make a lot of progress that way. 13. house keys: Technically not inside, but attached to the purse with a d-ring. I lose track of them a lot

Wow, talk about a long break...

Been a little busy, hope to post a little more often over here. I'm doing NaBloPoMo on my other blog.

Morgann Rose is almost 3 months old now. Life with 2 has been a heckuva challenge, and I'm not sure if it would be any easier if Anthony wasn't a special needs kiddo. I'm struggling, but still upright, at least.
