> Question for Santa, is $34.00 too much to spend
on body
lotion? I am fairly certain I would pay that much
for something with marshmallow infusion. Dee-lish.
And if you happened to bring me some for Christmas Santa,
I wouldn't say no.
You
know what's interesting about the comments regarding
the "small wishes" post below? Many are actually
wishes that can come true.
Ryan
- There's no excuse for you. Go to MEC and buy yourself
a bag like this.
Then throw your camera in it and never let it leave
your side.
Melissa
- You must scour every kitchen store in the golden triangle
and find That Perfect Cheese Slicer. In order to do
that, consider bringing a brick of hard cheese for some
test slicing. You can't trust salespeople. Alternately,
you could also make a point of buying pre-sliced cheese
from your local deli. (!) I can't help you with the
wipes and the bagels however, but I know where you're
coming from on both counts.
Helene
- Your wish was great. I would wish for the same wish.
But I think coffee in bed is one thing, but having it
delivered by Harry Connick Jr. definitely pushes it
into the medium category. But you can still have your
coffee. The answer is simple. Plug your coffee maker
beside your bed. Keep powdered milk and sugar in your
night table. Voila, your wish has come true. Wow, what
a great way to wake up. :)
Other
things to report:
-
Today, I bought 12 toothpicks for $5.95. I don't use
toothpicks, but these are The Best Toothpicks. They
are Zoo Picks, and they are made in Japan. Clearly,
they have everything in Japan.
-
I also bought the first two Lemony
Snicket books and Le Petit Prince calendar.
These
are all things that make me feel as pleased as punch.
I am pretty easy to please, aren't I? :)

It
is sunny and crisp outside. The sky is blue and the
day is bright. I love days like this.
Earlier
in the week we had our first snowfall, and waking up
that day was particularly harsh. It started with a blanket
of snow -- not the warm and light kind of snow that
throws a fluffy blanket over the landscape, but the
wet and frozen snow. Icy and shiny, it is really just
thick frozen rain. Ugh.
-
What
would you wish for if you could have a small wish? If
you could have one tiny thing, something so small
that it didn't effect the balance of the world and throw
other lives out of whack, what would it be?
No
wishing for world peace, eternal perfect health, fame,
or fortune. Those are big wishes.
Medium
wishes would include a nice car, a spouse who brings
you a heated neck warmer when you've been hunched over
the computer too long, or a new nose.
If
wishes had mass, and each large one contained 100 karma
particles, small ones would only contain one.
So
only small wishes allowed here.
Imagine:
never
having to be the one who changes the toilet paper roll
ever again
your
socks and slippers are warm every time you put them
on
you
never lose your favourite lipstick
every
sliver comes out without the help of a sharp needle
your
grocery bags never tear and break open
a
tissue that magically appears in your pocket when you
need it, but never ends up being shredded in the laundry.
So,
what would it be? :)
