Greed. Well, sort of.

Time to ask.
Or just to state, for the record. Folks, I've had to do everything in five minute bites for three weeks now - bear with me.
What do I want? Hmm. I think I'd like to have something to look forward to, instead of having things I *must* find a way to get through - for starters. Having fun is great, seeing people is fab - but if I have to count every single penny and keep checking my watch? Not so fun.
Folks, I have plenty of room for new icons. Just a thought.
Also, I'm asking for the same thing this year I ask every year: If you smoke, quit. It's the gift that gives back. You really don't want to know, and you probably wouldn't believe me on this side of kicking the habit. Quit smoking - and yes, that means everything. Cloves count. Bah!
If you never smoked, I wuv bath fizzies.
But I think I'll add something this year.
Go shopping at your local thrift store. No kidding. Some of the things I can always use, that you can find there?
I give away books at Halloween - I always need more little kid books. Go nuts.
Quart canning jars, even if they're old? Nifty for other uses.
I can polish up anything brass or silver in a jiffy - and it twinkles so nice on the shelves.
There are never enough mugs. You see something cute, go for it.
I collect depression glass; clear or pink. Surprise me.
Find me a good book to read.
Ditto, cookbooks. I have a whole bookcase that has room for more.
This year, money is so tight, I can hear the squealing. Most thrift stores support some kind of philanthropic cause; it helps out twice this way. You don't contribute to the increase in Stuff in the world, and someone benefits from the support.
If you really, REALLY get stuck, there's an Amazon list on my info page, and I have a thinkgeek.com list as well. Ask, and I'll forward a copy to you.
You really want to know what I'd like the best? You. My house, Christmas Eve. Come on over.
