A cute little car that would be perfect for my camping trips and other travels.
They get great gas mileage and I just think they're adorable. My husband hates them with a passion.

I want mine pimped out with cool rims, low profile tires, a kick ass stereo, tinted windows, DVD player, and all that shizznit. :P

[Helquin]

SCION

I thought Meika was wishing for an heir to her throne of World Domination! :lol:

[ebandit]

I want: gift certificates to Cheap Joes Art Supplies (http://www.cheapjoes.com)

My paintings to start selling.

World peace. I REALLY do want world peace!

To meet some of my nervousness buds.

I want Lilac (Tamara) to get a huge apology from Karen.

A trip to England.

an embossing heat gun.

My bathroom renovated --the floor needs replaced and I want the tub done too.

Neat mail from people everywhere or anywhere.

Happiness and creativity to abound.

I would love a Canon Digital Rebel camera.

And a Toyota Camry. Or a Mazda 6 Sport Sedan (automatic Transmission of course) in a rich blue color!
I am a dreamer!

Edited to add: A subscription to Watercolor Magic magazine would be cool too.
I had another idea this morning but it has escaped me.

[kittymao]

a job. not some podunk kmart job. a job that actually pertains to my career. i'm sick of this bullshit.

a car, so i can learn to drive.

a maid. just once every two weeks would be GREAT.

chai tea that would make itself as soon as I thought of some.

a real bed, and not some lame futon.

a kittycat.

[gwensmom]

supplies for Gwen- diapers, etc.
subscription to Southern Living magazine
a week of non-interrupted sleep
a big ol' pile of money
a certain soap mold and soap cutter that I have no business owning on our budget.
A little Toyota to drive when I am not transporting Gwen
an end to war everywhere forever

[hammerquill]

Books. More or less all of them.

DVDs - only a few of them, but too many to list here.

Counting Crows CDs, and lots of others I can never, ever think of when trying to compile wish lists.

Winter boots.

Fontlab.

A new laptop computer. A new desktop computer.

Time to allow me to take a language class every semester.

A loophole in US immigration law.

A house with room for a new old printing press, and for all those books...

A reemergence of civil society and the development of a responsible, thinking electorate in this country.

Some means of getting myself started on writing and other projects.

Stacks of money and world peace would both be nice, too.

scary....I think you are really learning who I am!

[Christine_0701]

:lol: no, I think i've just seen that movie way too much

[tanagee]

My Hubby to get a real job, you know the kind where we would get health insurance, be able to pay our mortgage in the FIRST 15 days of the month and not the LAST TWO, pay all our bills before they're really due, buy groceries for more than a few days at a time and still be able to buy things like clothes, furniture, DVD's and CD's and send Megan to Med School.

A laptop with wireless networking.

A SLR digital camera.

A Volvo XC90 (http://www.volvocars.us/Showroom/XC90/) with the integrated child booster seats. But right now I would just settle for a 1995 4 door Chevy Blazer with a CD player, even in a icky color.

An Extreme Makeover for my house.

Megan to go back to being potty-trained.

A ripple in the space-time continueum so that my daddy is alive again.

For life to be fair to those who deserve it.

[Lorrell]

A car that does not inspire suicidal inclinations, and can get from point A to B without killing me.


I'll even take a free yearly pass on the public trans if they will provide excuses for my tardiness.

[ebandit]

I also want the book -"knitting for dummies", knitting needles both straight and the loop kind

[Christine_0701]

Knitting and/or crochet for dummies would be nice ;)

Black is so five minutes ago (you know that's a saying I've never used in 'real life' but it is fun to use here) -- now you need a stainless steel seat to freeze your rear off on!

[Sirius]

All I want for Christmas is peace.

[Sirius]

Yes, yes, ebandit beat me too that punchline, but it is worthy to be done atleast each page in the thread....

[Christine_0701]

[/b][/quote]

ALL kinds!! Mostly what I call
~"upper level" fiction (you know...well written....good plots and character development instead of all the books by that author seeming like exactly the same book just with different names);
~ fantasy (same thing...PLEASE be original!!);
~ biographies, especially of early american heroes....strong women (Susanna Wesley, Queen Elizabeth, Harriet Tubman, etc)...successful artists (all types of artists);
~ kids books! I have a son who has no books yet!
~ ART BOOKS!!! hehehehe And of course, art books....my dreams for this year are to learn to quilt and to learn to crochet.
~ anything non-fiction
~ anything ancient greece, rome or egypt
~ anything theatre related

I could go on but i won't.....I was always the one who in junior high would go to the library and check out the 12 book maximum and have them all read by the next week...big books...not kid books.

[size=1] edited to add: please forgive the lack of punctuation....I am nursing and typing one-handed!

You obviously frequent a higher quality institution than I do. :lol: I meant "institutional" more in the sense of a high school or prison toilet, circa 1955.

Actually, I think this whole bathroom color scheme came from a vintage dishtowel... :huh:

But I found the black toilet seat online! And may you all get a shiver in your nickel-plated facilities! :lol:

[Sirius]

Is it a soft cushy black seat? Those are so grandma.
