Blueberry Ever After

My husband requested a holiday wish list from me the other day and it got me to thinking, as I could offer nothing I truly wanted or needed off the top of my head (apart from a shiny new ipod to replace the one that went missing this summer). A few items began to occur to me this week and let's just say I feel super lame about even putting most of them out here:

• New kitchen scissors. Yes, I said it.
• Dish towels for the kitchen that are pretty, neutral and not stained.
• Hand towels for the guest baths that are also pretty, neutral and not stained.
• I still want fluffy gray bath towel sets for the master bath (see birthday wish list).
• A kickass food processor, perhaps one that doesn't make it sound like a 747 is attempting to take flight from inside my kitchen, like my current one does.
• Aforementioned iPod. Preferably the touch, 16 or 32GB.
• A nice reusable water bottle with a spout, bpa free that doesn't drip or leak all over me, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Camelbak-CamelBak-Better-Bottle-Limited/dp/B002HQTVXW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1257972153&sr=8-4

There are actually a couple of fun items like Wii games on my amazon list which I am too lazy to list here. But as you can see, I have the list of a Mom. Not someone else's Mom either, this is all me...when did I get this old?

I can usually never think of anything when people ask me what I want for my birthday, but for some reason this year I have a plethora of wants. No mind that I am unemployed and withchild and Jay and I about to be broke for the next 20 years or so due to said child...I still want any and all of these things:

• First and foremost, I would like a shiny new laptop that is mine, all mine. A third floor office is not going to be conducive to my jobhunting activities once baby is on the scene so this is my priority number one. Expensive? Yes. Do I want it anyway? Yes.
• My heart also desires one of these snazzy little pocket video cameras from Creative Labs: http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=833&subcategory=834&product=18108. It meets two very important requirements. A) It is purse perfect. B) It plugs directly into your computer to upload videos. I think it will come in very handy for clips of Baby Blueberry!
• A bicycle. I would really like one and have been wanting one for a while. Obviously not a priority in comparison to my first two wishes, but still, it would be nice.
• Gray towels for my bathroom. Our master bath towels are coming up on 3 years of heavy rotation and could use a facelift. I am thinking gray would be lovely. Even some like these from (gasp!) Walmart would be just dandy: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10805354
• Some cute black Merrells for summertime. I am looking for comfy, easy to slip on shoes for a soon-to-be Mom on the go, like these perhaps: http://www.merrell.com/us/#store/W/W-F/15538W-30547/
• New clothes. After all these months of pregnancy, I am looking forward to having a waist again at some point this summer. I know when I reach that point, I will be in need of some new duds. All hail the gift certificate!
• Bare Minerals. I want to go and get pretty with some new makeup...and I need something low maintenance.
• Super Paper Mario. Yes, I am that far behind the curve when it comes to gaming. But I still want it!

I know there is more but I will leave it here for now. Let's just hope Baby B decides to make an appearance sometime soon. That will be by far the best gift I get this year!
