I saw this tea set almost two years ago and have been lusting after it ever since. Since I’m the only tea drinker in our two-person family (and since we, coincidentally, have a running joke about a dragon and a tea cup), this Chado Tea Room Tea for One cup and pot set in Dragon is perfect.
I have a thing for rain boots. I love them and every single time it rains and the bottoms of my jeans get cold and soaking wet, I wish I had them. Oddly enough, I have never owned a pair. I stalk them online several times a year searching for the perfect pair, but when, after days of looking, I finally find a pair I adore (like these green paisley lovelies above- size 8 please!) I can’t bring myself to part with the seventy bucks they cost. Functional and completely adorable, I’m bound and determined to finally treat myself to these one day (uh, when I have a job that is.)
A new battery for my 12″ iBook G4. My current battery is headed for that big battery heaven in the sky. If I don’t keep it plugged in at all times my battery power drains like quicksand and is gone in about an hour. As for the laptop sleeve? I can think of nothing that would not be improved by the addition of a dinosaur. This gentle herbivore is totally necessary.
Warm lounge wear please!! Two days ago I was wearing long underwear bottoms, a green sweatshirt and green striped knee-high wool socks to keep from freezing. Ted took one look at me and asked where my pointy green hat and jingly elf slippers were. The ones I have (the roll-up ones on the left) are so well worn and loved that there’s kitty-claw looking holes all over the back of them. I think that’s a sign that I need new warm, comfy skivvies!
Yes, one of these masterpieces will do just nicely. Warm and colorful – such perfection. My tweed pea coat from two years ago is too big on me now and no longer keeps me properly warm. Living in a cold climate, I think a solid winter coat is definitely a must.
New Puma Voltaic II’s. I loooooove these sneakers! Worth every penny. Can I help it if they are the most comfortable sneaker I have ever owned? I have the white/silver/orange pair and I am dreading the day they start to die on me. I’m considering picking up two more pair the next time they’re on sale. Every time I slide my feet into them I am still amazed at how marvelous they feel and how well they fit. I love this green/black/gray pair – too bad they’re the men’s version. I always seem to prefer the dude colors over the chick colors. I wonder if they carry these in the equivalent of a woman’s 8.5?
A nuzzle from my Sancho. I really, really miss this sweet guy. It sounds ridiculous, but this separation from him has been really hard. He’s the number one thing I’d like to see under my tree on Christmas morning.
What’s on your big kid wish list this year?
P.S. – Last night I made a delicious cranberry crumble pie. I had a bag of fresh cranberries left over from Thanksgiving to use up so I made this recipe. It’s super easy and speedy to make, requires very few ingredients, tastes delicious, and is a great low carb dessert for diabetics (especially when you use the splenda mix sugar and brown sugar). Cranberries are perfect for December desserts – puts you right in the holiday spirit. And it’s husband approved.
This morning we are off to get Ted’s license, inspection, title, registration and plates done (in the icy snowy cold). Today will be more of the same for me – job applications and unloading boxes – blah. But tonight we’ll be seeing the dance show at CCM which should be really neat! Enjoy your Friday!
