Thirteen Things On My Wish List
December 13th, 2007 @ 1:23 pm

I have a little notepad on my refrigerator and anytime I run across a neat book or product I’d really like to purchase, I write it down. If hubby wants to buy me a gift at any point, he can just go pick something off the list and viola! The work is done. He appreciates this because it’s hard for us to buy for each other. We just buy things we need as we go. We buy things we want as we can afford it. It works out great, unless you have to buy a birthday gift or an anniversary present. That’s why I think keeping a list is a great idea. Now, if I could just get hubs to keep a list, we’d be all set! Here are thirteen things on my list:

  1. A Well Kept Home by Laura Fronty
  2. Semi-Homemade Cooking by Sandra Lee
  3. Subscription to Martha Stewart Living
  4. Just Jane by Nancy Moser
  5. The Monstrous Regiment of Women
  6. Quiet Strength: A Memoir by Tony Dungy
  7. A piano (for our youngest daughter…I’m tired of the keyboard being in my bedroom)
  8. A trip to Scotland (HA! This will happen when we have the money saved up)
  9. Gutter screens (I hate seeing all of those leaves hanging out of our gutters)
  10. Some help sanding our kitchen floor and restaining it
  11. For my washer and dryer to be moved to the garage (this requires a lot of work rerouting water lines, etc.)
  12. Hardwood floors to replace our 20 year old carpet (in time we will get to this)
  13. More children to be born to our family

    Hi, cool list!! For some reason, my parents always say it’s hard to buy for me at Christmas, I always say I don’t really need anything, but to me Christmas should be getting stuff you want. I always make a Christmas list, and so does my sister, but I can’t get my parents to do the same!!I did a TT, it’s here: http://lifes-adventures.net
    Cheers!!

    First off, I like the new flowers!

    Second, even if I made a list, hubby would still get me something else. That’s just his way. I love sandra lee and everything food network. I wish I could cook like them, but I’m not allowed to use sharp knives…I have a tendency to draw blood!

    Well, I can heartily recommend Scotland! :)

    We get round that by having a whiteboard in the kitchen. I just scribble down whatever we need more of and it works well. My husband uses it, too. :)

    I have two TT13s this week:

    What a great idea to avoid the inevitable clash between expectation and reality. My husband and I agreed when we married not to exchange gifts. We just make purchases a joint project. But your way would definitely be very practical. And there’s something at every level of economy.
