Spin Cycle: Wish List

 

What do I wish for? Ha! A better question might be what don't I wish for?

I know admitting I wish for anything is probably mucho politically incorrect. So let me say right up front: I love my family and I'm grateful to be blessed with my wonderful life, blah blah blah...

Now that that's out of the way, I have to say it'd be really nice to replace the crappy carpeting in my house with hardwood floors. What were the people who built this place thinking! And on that same note, tile for the kitchen and the bathroom, because apparently they considered that a luxury as well.

While I'm on a roll, let me add a hot tub and a sex life (I don't believe the two have to be mutually exclusive), and a car that runs so that people won't actually laugh at me or want to scream obscenities about me murdering the environment when I drive by.

And how about a MacBook, a Kindle, and an ass you could bounce a quarter off of (they exist, I know they do. Ask Twenty Four; she sees them every day in Money Town).

Let me not forget a successful writing career, generous stock dividends, and children who are cheerful, always polite, and eternally grateful.

Wow, I'm exhausted. Who knew being shallow was this consuming?

Of course, I'd have to tag onto the end: no more wars or hate or poverty, and public acceptance by all world leaders that women really are the superior sex. No wish list would be complete without those.

Anything else?

No, actually, I think that'll do.

 

For more inspired and infinitely more generous wish lists, go see Sprite's Keeper. I really wish you would.

Thanks for the chuckle this morn.And I thought I didn't want anything...now, onto my list!

[Stacy (the Random Cool Chick)]

Oh I love it! You've given me some ideas for my wish list...thank you! ;)

[Erin@TheLocalsLoveIt]

As a librarian are you allowed to want a Kindle? Just wondering ;)

[Erin]

I'd give up lots to have an ass I could bounce a quarter off of... (what?, why not?)

Love this post. And I would settle for keeping my sorry ass in exchange for world peace. Or whirled peas...

...nevermind...

[class factotum]

Erin, I'm not that noble. I'd take a firm, high ass even if it meant war would continue. Yep. I'm that shallow.

[Jan]

Yes, well, hop on over to my place - you may change your mind about the quarter-bouncing ass.

As for your house, I so completely sympathize; the people who owned ours previously apparently hired someone who graduated from the Polynesian School of Interior Design - it had a BAMBOO CHANDELIER in the dining room (and wallpaper that complemented it all too well).

I still shudder thinking about it.

[Sprite's Keeper]

An ass to bounce a quarter off of? Think of how uncomfortable it would be to sit! I'll keep my somewhat mushy tushy, thanks.
As for a hot tub and a sex life, they do NOT have to be mutually exclusive.
My mom wants a Kindle. The price would make that about 10 Hanukkah's worth, so she's getting her gift card like usual. :-)
You're linked and it's nice to be shallow once in a while!

[Diane]

Uh, yeah. That about sums it up. I'm wracking my brain to find the obvious omission to that list, but no. You got it covered. Merry merry.

[Mama Badger]

So many of your things are on my list. I'll be pissed if Santa gets to your house first.

I hear those new Rebock sneakers will give you a quarter worthy a$$ with no work. I'm tempted to ask for them...

World peace is over rated. A hot tub and a sex life? Priceless.

[Twenty Four At Heart]

I SEE asses like that all the time ... however I do not HAVE one! : )

[Diane]

I included a link to your blog from the entry on my blog today, I truly hope you don't mind. Thank you! -Diane

[Jane]

I love your list! Don't you wish Santa could deliver on a few of these? I sure do!

[Maureen D. Hall]

Mind? Of course not.

Thank you! And great post!

 

 

[Menopausal New Mom]

Now that's an honest Christmas List Lol!! Love it, so different from all the others I've been reading this week. Thanks for sharing!

[LPC]

When you get it all will you share?:)

[Heather]

I am right there with you on that list, except for the butt. A butt like that would really look funny on this body, I would have to ask santa to drop 60lbs off of me first. LOL

Great list! You are hilarious!!

[kys]

I love your list! I think I'd like a MacBook, kindle, and a firm ass, too. And a flat stomach and perky boobs. That is all.

[Geri Brin]

You are a wonderful writer. My wish is that you continue writing forever.

PS
Area rugs are definitely the way to go!

[Smart Mouth Broad]

Wow! What a great list. I may have to copy and paste in my letter to Santa.

[Michele]

Great wish list. If you get that ass I'd hope you would pass the secret on. In fact, if you get any of it please let us all know.

[Ann]

Love the blah blah blah.

And yes and Ass to bounce a quarter off of--endless game night!

[kathryn]

Oh, you are TOO FUNNY!

I LOVE your list. Blah, blah, blah....whatever.

Yeah, yeah...world peace...yada, yada. End world hunger. How about a fat-free cannoli that doesn't taste like one? Is that so much to ask??

And while we're asking, can I have a hot guy, too? Just one...I don't wanna be selfish.

[D.M. Wright]

I'd like that ass and the hot tub, too!! Great list!!

[~The South Dakota Cowgirl~]

I know I'm getting here late, but I'd also like an ass you could bounce a quarter off of. This post rocked!
