Dear Santa…
I’ve been…reasonably decent this year. I guess; it’s certainly up for debate. I can definitely say I haven’t started smoking again (which some days is still damn hard, but it’ll be two years on December 23rd and doesn’t that count for something?) and I haven’t killed anyone while in the throes of a menopausal meltdown (when you couple that with the whole non-smoking thing, it earns me some sort of kudos, doesn’t it?).
At any rate, even if my performance behavior throughout the year has been exceedingly disappointing somewhat lacking, it doesn’t mean I can’t have a wish list, right?
Right?
Well, you’re getting one anyway. Deal with it.
Wish List Item #1
A tropical island to call my own. Preferably uncharted.
No? Okay, how about…
Wish List Item #2
Captain Jean-Luc Picard. And I don’t care if he’s been charted or not.
Not doable. Figures. Okay. So, how about…
Wish List Item #3
Who wouldn’t want this? It doesn’t even have to be Alice – just a live-in maid would do.
Yeah, okay, so I’m still stretching it. *sigh* How about this?
Wish List Item #4
One would think a table-top, portable photography studio wouldn’t be too much to ask for, but apparently one would be wrong. ThinkGeek.com is out of them every time I visit the site. Soooooo….
Wish List Item #5
At this point, I’m desperate. I’ll settle for a few of these.
Oh, and while we’re at it…
The whole “world peace” thing would totally rock, too.
No, really.

Dear Santa, DITTO.
I’m assuming that your tropical island will have a butcher, baker and maybe a decent cooker?
I so agree with Vodka mom at DITTO, although I don’t really wish for a tropical island but I’d really love to have a mountaintop retreat!
Hey, congrats on your two year nonsmoking anniversary… and you haven’t killed anyone which is an amazing accomplishment in my book.

Not killing someone in throes of a menopausal meltdown should earn you two of everything on your list.

I think we all want to join you on that island with Alice and the drink! Whether you want us or not.
Hey, 2 years not smoking! That’s big; congrats!

That settles it – we are twins separated at birth!
Now to come up with a Wish List that doesn’t copy yours 100%.
That table top studio? Way too cool for words – I’ll be adding that to my wish list for sure!
Stacy (the Random Cool Chick)´s last blog ..Wordless/Wordful Wednesday – Today’s My Birthday…a look back
The table top studio looks very cool, and I think I missed it in the Think Geek catalog. Of course John’s been drooling over that mag so it’s probably unreadable now..
You’re linked!
(And martinis in abundance!)

I suppose I should not be surprised we want a lot of the same things. I think we have some long lost genetic link.

I’m with you on the island and the martini. Or both, at the same time.

Love your wish list Jan. I don’t see why you can;t have your own island. You’ll take visitors, Yes?

I know just the bartender to set you up with #5 but if you can figure out how to get the rest I would appreciate it if you share the how-to.

Oooh… can I join you on the tropical island? Congrats on the being quit for 2 years. That’s huge. And kudos on posting your wish list on your blog. Hope Be has the sense to go to the ThinkGeek site early and often. xo
Erin´s last blog ..wordless red and green
All great “wishes”. I totally dig that table top photo dealybopper. And not smoking while hurdling menopause is a feat all in itself. You rock.
I truly hope you get everything your heart desires for Christmas. HUGS

Now that’s just greedy! How can you want that bald guy when you have got your own Beloved?

I’d love to have my own Alice. She’d have to be Alice though, no other chipper blue-uniformed live-in housekeeper would do.
Also, world peace, but only if it would make people better more considerate drivers. People around here are dangerous on the road.
Mrsbear´s last blog ..One Less
Love it! I will take a Martini or five as well, Santa! It is so funny – everyone is either wishing for world peace or saying they are not going to wish for it because it’s been done! Even I did both! Great list!!
How can so many women what the exact same thing? Uncanny. A league of our own.
Ellie Belen´s last blog ..Season’s Clock is Ticking Away
In answer to your getting some kudos for not smoking in the midst of menopausal mayhem….hell YES! I so understand it’s sickening. You have a great wish list….would so love to finally take a honeymoon with my husband to an island like that…hell I would just be happy to go anywhere with him…:)…I would also love to have an “Alice” at my house…could have used her in the middle of the night last night…lol…and of course world peace…but I’m sure I will have to settle for a couple of cocktails…how about a couple of cocktails with you and your Beloved? That would be grand! I have a feeling my husband would get along fabulous with him and you of course!
