I need a watch. Nothing fancy… although I’d love a fancy one like a Patek Philippe… but really I just need to know what time it is 
. It’s driving me crazy. Ever since I lost my old one - which I loved - I’ve been going nutty looking at my arm every time I want to make sure I’m not late LOL! I guess I need to go get another one though and stop complaining… it’s not like anyone is going to buy me a new one if I don’t…

I feel like I just shopped for Christmas and here I am doing it again. I do enjoy it a little anyway. Shopping for some people is fun. I just find that shopping for the kids can be tough because there is always something on the list that I just can’t find or get a hold of no matter how hard I try. Last year I bought the kids two remote control helicopters and they had a lot of fun with them. This year I’m not sure what our fun thing will be - maybe a board game??? I’d better get figuring it out.

I’m not really sure about them. They are sooo comfy and I think wearing them would be like wearing slippers - which would be GREAT! But… though I’m in love (or at least a solid “like” 
) with the UGG Knightsbridge, I’m wondering if I’m too old for them. Are they just for the younger 20 somethings? I see a lot of young kids wearing them… Hmmm… I want to be stylish but I don’t want to look like I’m trying to look young - because I’m not

I like the idea of personalized gifts for kids. You know, like blankets with their names or those cute teddy bears with names on the dress… so cute for the little ones on the list . As for the big kids on the list… I tend to just ask them what they want or give them money I really liked getting money as a kid and I’ve never ever heard a kid complain when they open a card to find money inside

I have a fantasy of having lots of money and one of those great, high limit credit cards. I’d shop for so much stuff that it would be like excercise LOL!! I’d like to get a lot of new furniture - mostly some storage units - so my new house would be all organized . Then I’d get toys and cool/fun stuff for the kids. And lastly, I’d buy lots of clothes and shoes for me - just because I love them

I’ve been pondering getting my belly button pierced. It was pierced way back when, before I had two lovely babies . I really liked having the little bit of “bling” that the body jewelry gave me. I’m just not sure what kind of a message it will send my daughter (and son?). It seems harmless enough but I don’t think I’d want her to get her belly button pierced - and don’t even get me started on how i’d feel if she got her nose or eyebrow done!! 
Yah, maybe I’ll stay “ring-free” for at least a little while longer

I feel like packing up the kiddos and going to a campground somewhere in the boonies Not in a tent mind you. No, I guess I’m sort of “been there done that” with the tent camping. What I would rather do is get a tent trailer. That way we can at least have a fridge and a stove and nice beds that are off the ground LOL!! It’s just that being TV free and out in the country side sounds soooo nice as a change

We have a hotel here where i live that has a really nice pool. It has a water slide and the whole nine yards. So I’m thinking of looking up some hotel deals and seeing if I can get a deal on staying there with the kids.
It would just be an overnighter but I think the kids would LOVE it and, even though we’d still be in our own city, it would feel like a getaway for me too

I’d love to redecorate. Maybe redo the living room all in blue walls with yellow and red accents - with white wood trim etc. I’d love to have the French Country look Of course then I’d also have to redo my kitchen. But I’m excited about that too because I want to learn how to tile my back splash myself too. I want those little tiny tiles and do it in different shades of blue. Then i want to have a new sink - the big country style ones - and fancy faucets too Okay i’m all ready I just need a bigger bank account

My new house has a pretty big deck and I know I want to have some patio furniture on it. My problem though is that I have no idea what kind I want. Big table or small? Loungers or regular chairs? Fireplace or just a low table with a candle at night? Should I get a swing for two?? (I do love those!). And, even if I can decide all of that, I still don’t know what material I should have it made of. I know that some of the cheap sets will rust after one season… sigh… Why does something so fun have to be so complicated?
