ten things: i want for christmas.


This year, my family has agreed on the fact that none of us have an overabundant supply of spending cash. As a result, we have all attempted to keep our Christmas list requests within a reasonable price range, i.e. no big-ticket items. Most of the things I asked for this holiday season were practical items that I need/want for my new apartment. But what is the internet for, if not for dreaming? In a much-needed escape from the real-world (think: two formal observations in a five-day span, department meetings galore, and shopping on a very tight budget) I decided to create my own little fantasy Christmas list. It was fun. Now, back to reality :) What are you dreaming about this Christmas?

1. Adobe Photoshop. I am really hoping to play around with some of my photography and editing techniques this year.
2. Singer sewing machine. Every time I work on a sewing project, I have to borrow my sister's machine. It is about time I had my own.
3. Gold men's watch. I have been wanting one for years. Why is it so hard to spoil ourselves?
4. Vintage bicycle. Who wouldn't want a set of wheels like this? Come back, summertime!
5. Leather boots. My brown boots bit the dust last summer and, with holes in the soles and threads popping out all over the place, my black ones are following close behind.
6. Frenchie pup. So, technically my apartment does not allow dogs, but my neighbor has one anyway - I would break the rules too if these cuties weren't so darn expensive (this is Iggy, ala pop pop portraits).
7. iPad. I love my MacBook, but I am really digging the stylus-capabilities of the tablet. Think of all the possibilities :)
8. KitchenAid stand mixer. Do I need it? Probably not, but I have been eying this slate gray bad-boy for quite awhile now.
9. A plane ticket. It has been way too long since Doug and I last got on an airplane. The travel bug strikes again!
10. The ring. Just kiddinggggg... I much prefer yellow gold ;)
