Thirteen Christmas Presents to Get Me!
I know it’s getting to be that time of year, so to help all my buddies, I thought I’d let you know what to get (or not to get) me this year . . .
1. First off, I’d be completely out of line to not point you to the OBVIOUS . . . my Amazon.com wishlist. It really does have a ton of things I want on it. So, check it out.
2. I am getting a Treo 680 as soon as Cingular releases it (which will be any day). So any fun Treo accessories would be cool.
3. As a fresh college graduate, I’m of course strapped for cash. Gift certificates to grocery stores, Fresh Market, or an airline (Delta or US Airways) would be greatly appreciated.
4. I REALLY want a puppy. My parents have firmly put their foot down on this one, which is really frustrating because I’m not going to go against their wishes, especially not when they’re still supporting me. So, in this regard, a good present would be talking them into letting me get a puppy. However you want to do that. If you know me in real life, I’ll give you their phone numbers. If I know you online, any emails received can be forwarded along. This girl needs a companion.
5. Since I am not in grad school anymore, I had to give back the laptop. Therefore, I am back to using my undergrad laptop which is really . . . well, crappy. I’m saving up for a new laptop. Either getting me a laptop or helping get the money for one would be appreciated.
6. For those of you without any money to throw around (and for those who do have it), I could REALLY use some prayer. I have no job, I’m not currently in school, and I get the feeling that my parents are starting to feel a little frustrated with me. Granted, that frustration is COMPLETELY understandable, but I still feel really awful that I have let them down, and thus far I’ve done nothing good to replace the letting them down. So a little prayer for some guidance and direction would be great.
7. I do NOT want little trinket-y things. I’m working hard on sorting through all my stuff right now, giving away what I don’t need and clearing out all the clutter. That means that all the small little gift things that I’ve accumulated are going out the door. Not that I don’t love you, but I’d much rather you spend the $5-10 on a card or pulling together some recipes for me online. I am very anti-clutter right now.
8. I’d really really really like to go to FSU for their theatre management program there. So if you’ve got any connections, that would be a FABULOUS gift, haha.
9. In all honesty, I’d take a lot of hugs for a gift. I feel like I don’t get them very often anymore, and I’m the kind of person who THRIVES on hugs!
10. A Christmas jazz CD. I love Christmas jazz music (especially instrumental), and I really shouldn’t buy anymore CDs right now.
11. Tickets to the movie theatre! I haven’t been in so long, and I’d love to go and see a movie.
12. The offer of your company for supper. I’d love to cook dinner for any of my friends, but it seems like they’re all too busy to hang out.
13. A job. Hire me?

I can’t help with much but the prayer…unless you want MY job? (you don’t – trust me on this one)
Happy TT!
Hey there, thanks for stopping by. Now you have a great list and I wish some of my relatives would do the same. I say give the people what they want, that’s how you make them happy. Hope you get it all!
Toodles,

Well, I can do #6.
I remember when I was in your position. Good luck!
Did you try the protection angle with the puppy on your parents? Even a smallish dog can sound an alarm which could buy you precious moments to escape or defend yourself should anything happen. Homes with dogs suffer fewer breakins. (I have a big dog with big teeth and one of the reasons for that is to make any bad guys think twice.) Also, people with pets tend to be healthier emotionally and physically because people need to have someone to take care of. Of course, dogs are work and you will have to plan your schedule around a dog because they need to be walked and fed and paid attention to. Good luck.
