Oh yes Sam...sheeee's baaaad. teehee
I always wanted a baby elephant; - just grazing outside my living room window. He has to be as cute as Dumbo, and never grow big.
If I don't get that,... then a nice vacation travelling through Italy, Austria and Greece will do it for me.
And if I don't get that, a pretty photo album of those countries and their highlights would be nice.
And if I don't get that, maybe a gourmet Italian dinner, with Greek wine, and Austrian apple Strudel for desert will suffice.
And if I don't get that, then he should make love like an Italian gigolo, be generous like Onasis, and charming like a gent from Vienna.
And if I don't get that…then he better wear shin guards on his legs.

JJ, I agree with Jabber. I think God has a very special place for people who make others laugh...laughter has to be one of the most wonderful gifts anyone can give to another person.
That made me think, that laughter - and especially the ability to bring laughter to others - would definitely be a gift I'd like to get for Christmas. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

Chatty, I can't tell you how much you touched my heart. You and so many of my Boomer sisters mean the world to me. I guess it kind of explains why I'm here so often. I love you my friend, and I'd give a heck of alot to be able to spend Christmas with you. Hey! Look who just stepped in!

Eagle, you're married to a hunk! I wouldn't introduce him to Georgia if I were you. Especially when he cooks, cleans, does laundry, irons tea towels, shovels snow and loves to go grocery shopping. Oh and he makes the perfect cup of tea too, he makes my tea better than I can!! He's a keeper...and he's mine...and yes he has a brother, but unless you "parlez-vous beaucoup de French", there's no point...plus he doesn't cook, clean, shovel or iron. But he does make tea.

Well, I've heard that the Wii's are a lot of fun. I'd like the whole kit-and-kaboodle...the Wii console, the Wii Fit thing, and lots of Wii games, like bowling, darts, mini golf, dancing, music, etc, etc, etc.

"chick, do you live near a Mac?" Dotsie dear, what does that mean? We have a Mac, right here in our home office, and it does not do make-overs. Even my Dell does not do make-overs. A horse. I want a horse, a trainer, a trailer, free food and board, and a handsome stable hunk to do the hard work. I'm a bit weak in the upper body strength department to do manual labor in the barn. A life-coach, pre-paid unlimited sessions. And/or a therapist. A funny-bone. And humor books to go with.

Dear Santa ~ I've been really, really good this year. So could you please send me: 1. A winning lottery ticket worth millions so I can buy that log home in Montana. 2. A visit from Jon Bon Jovi. I know I'm ten years older than him, but he's oh so dreamy. Thank you Santa, you're the best! Hugs, NYWoman

Chatty, chatty, oh my chatty, what is an apple head chi... wow...a My husband and I are renting our finished lower level to a single mom with a two year old. And, a chi wow a. Now, those little dogs used to be my least favorite breed. All trembling and scared because they are so small everyone else is bigger. These wee things have to look out for themselves. One false move in the kitchen, and they can get trampled. I did not think I would warm up to the shaking shivering creature. Yeah, right. Now the little thing is my lap dog. Plus I get to dress her up with pink sweaters with pom poms or quilt jackets with leopard design fur collars. This dog does not walk normal, it dances and prances. And she is fawn colored.

Well, that settles it... we don't have a Mac cosmetics store here. I thought you were referring to the Mac computers, or that Mac was Macy's for short. Jon Bon Jovi is really cute, and stays that way, kind of like Paul McCartney.

My granddaughter is four and a half, Dotsie. She does ballet as well as attend musical theatre school so, "Roberts" is looking forward to the 26th and 28th. The 20th is the rugby match I'm treating the boys to. It will be the little one's first big match and as he loves to scrum and holler, I think I'll have more fun watching him.
"Roberts" is what she insists we call her since her walk-on part as a cub with The Lion King as a birthday treat on her fourth birthday.

Chatty, our pennies went farther (further) then. Now things cost what, double, triple, with half the income. The chi wow ha got a beating this morning from my alpha Westie. I stopped the killing by putting a blanket over Gracie's head (the Westie.) Are you girls really talking "tongue scrapers" in stocking stuffers? Hey, think big, live a little. I want teeth whitening for Christmas. I just want to keep my teeth throughout my life. Saundra, are you listening?

Hey Princess Lenora
I don't know if there is a Macy's, Nordstrom's, or Dillard's near you...many, if not all, of those stores have a MAC Cosmetics counter in their stores. I LOVE MAC cosmetics...have for years!

Seeing as I am not doing xmas this year by my own choosing(Well I will do dinner tomorrow at an old freinds Momma's house and that is about the height of it)All my cards on the exchange list will be in New Year as I was well busy over the last three to four weeks...and we run back into Uni for an Exibition during the first two days!!! For all the lovely cards which have festooned my little student room, thank you ladies. I couldn't sleep last night for sadness...this time of year does that to me anyhow and has done for a long old time back ...
I DO NOT...
I do not confes to anything-so when I speak of the small spidery creature skittling across the periphery of my vision - it proves nothing. Meaning is just an accident, soon mopped up: those letters were written by someone else and that suitcase under the bed does not contain my heart.
I do not regret very much, so when th dog digs up the bones I have buried beneath the brambles, in some wild woods- I am not worried. I have allowed no prophets to enter my house for a long time past- so bones cannot grow flesh, stand up and walk. They cast no shadows and I have nothing to look in the face.
I d not promise anything-so when I lay down lose as a child, intimate as a lover, tender as a mother it means nothing. Love is just a trick of the lighht, a misunderstanding. No matter who you think I am, when it matters most, I will not be who you want.

The Christmas Wish (John Denver)
I don't know if you believe in Christmas or if you have presents underneath a Christmas tree but if you believe in love that will be more than enough for you to come and celebrate with me for I have held the precious gift that love brings even though I never saw a Christmas star I know there is a light I have felt it burn inside and I have seen it shining from afar
Christmas is the time to come together a time to put all differences aside and I reach out my hand to the family of man to share the joy I feel at Christmas time
for the truth that binds us all together I would like to say a simple prayer that at this special time you will have true peace of mind and joy to last throughout the coming year
and if you believe in love that will be more than enough for peace to last throughout the coming year and peace will last throughout the year.

Celtic, that song is off of my all-time favourite Christmas CD, John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together. I saw the TV special eons ago (mid 1970's?) and have had the album on vinyl, cassette and now CD. I even have a spare CD hidden away in case the other one gets damaged! It's full of beautiful songs like this one.

Today I had an amazing shopping experience - talk about being at the right place at the right time. Can I turn it into a long story? Because it all conspired to get me there.
My step-daughter took my granddaughter out snow-tubing yesterday. Came home late last night and realized she still had the car seat. So we had to go all the way back over there this morning (they live at the other end of the city and in the opposite direction than we had planned to go this morning). I was frustrated because we had a long list of errands we had to run. But we drove, along sheer black icy side roads to get there, dropped off the seat, then SD asked if we could do a quick run to WalMart for something she had seen in the flyer. I detest WalMart on a Saturday, especially this particular store on a Boxing Week Saturday because it's so small and very crowded at the best of times. But what could I do.
So we went. While waiting for her to find her stuff, I browsed through a big bin of DVD's, and had just stepped over to a cart full of "overstock" DVD's when a store employee reached around me to pass a "Wii Fit" to the other employee who was working at the cart right beside me. I looked at it in amazement, knowing that Wii Fits have been impossible to find in Canada for weeks. I asked the guy if it was for sale, and he handed it to me and said "yes, but hold on tight because it's the only one we've got left". He said a small shipment had arrived early that morning and they had all sold within minutes - this was the last one. I was delighted. We don't have the console yet, we're planning on buying it in April (unless we see it on sale before then) but we couldn't pass on the Fit, since it's notoriously difficult to find in Canada.
Maybe Someone up there knows how much I need to start exercising?
I had to come back to add something...as many of you know, I've been working on this Law of Attraction/Resonance thing for a very long time. After reading some of Mama Red's posts on the subject recently, I decided to try it again. I read the suggestion in one of the books to start out with something simple, just for fun. So for about two weeks now, every day, several times a day, I've been asking "the Universe" for a Wii for Christmas. I did what the book said to do, to vibrate happy positive vibes out into the universe about this Wii, imagining how much fun I was going to have with it, especially the Wii Fit. I imagined everything I could think of, again, every day, throughout the day. Christmas came and went, no Wii. But I just realized that I DID get it, not the Wii, but the Wii Fit which I actually wanted MORE than the Wii itself. Mama Red, are you reading this? This is the FIRST TIME that it's worked for me. Whoo Hooo! Now I'll have to start vibrating for the Wii console...

Thanks Celtic; it was neat to see it work. I'm trying it again with something else simple. We'll see how it goes.
PL, WalMart has been in Canada for several years now. They're not online (well, they have a website, but not an online store) like the US WalMart. We're not huge WalMart fans, but do like how they carry things that we can't get anywhere else, like some US brands.

Hi EH, of course there is WM in Canada. WM is ubiquitous! Like you, I would want nothing to do with a WM on a Saturday. So I would have been reluctant to step in the store. Can you believe the good luck you had? Syncronicity, coincidence, the LofA. So glad you got what you wanted, or at least half of it!

Well, PL, they say that part of the LofA is behaving as if you already have the object. So in the spirit of that premise, I bought a Wii game today (according to my step-daughter who is an expert in Wii, it was a good price). So I expect the rest of the Wii to cross my path any day now...
We played on my granddaughter's Wii all afternoon today. Well, she and my step-daughter played, I played with my grandson and loved every moment with him. Anyway, this was my first opportunity to actually see a Wii in action, and have to admit that I'm even more sure it will be a fun thing to have.

Thanks, Dotsie. Today was crazy. We pretty much had to skate to my step-daughter's car this morning. The main roads weren't too bad, but the side roads are still like skating rinks. Sheer ice. Her car has winter tires, so they have excellent grip, but the other problem we had today was the wind. At one point I thought the wind was going to swoop under her car and pick us right up. We were really glad to get to where we were going! The wind and warmer temps eventually melted most of the ice off of the roads. Which meant lots of deep puddles and slush coming home - it was a great day to be wearing my Bogs Boots!

Dotsie, they have the game "Mario & Sonic at the Olympics". It has all sorts of different events like swimming, rowing, skeet shooting, trampoline. She also received the Dance Party dance mat, which is a lot of fun (sort of like a dancing karaoke game). They also have bowling, tennis and other sports, but we didn't play any of those. The Olympic game is the favourite right now. It's hard to find too, but SD's going to pick one up for me in Montreal. The carnival games sound fun too. I saw a game yesterday, all winter sports, like skating, luging, bobsledding, ski jumping...that looks like fun exercise.

We did play the dance game - it's so much fun that I'm probably going to have to get one...it's a really fun way to get in some good cardio exercise.
I'm amazed at the graphics...they're so real and interactive that sometimes you wonder if the characters are alive!
We've decided not to wait for the console, so are shopping for one now instead of April - but they're impossible to find! I could just kick myself, I was in Toys 'R Us on Sunday, it was supposed to be a quick stop for my step-daughter to pick up something. As we were standing at the cash register, the Wii consoles arrived. The cashier even asked me if I wanted to buy one. I wasn't thinking at all...we had already decided to wait until April and it just didn't click to pick one up at that moment. But when I got home, hubby was actually disappointed! So we went back, but they had already sold out.
