    25 Things I Want Right Now.

    Filed under: stuff — meg @ 4:48 pm
    1. A night of blissfully uninterrupted sleep.
    2. Another night of blissfully uninterrupted sleep.
    3. A sunny weekend.
    4. A really, really good sushi dinner with TONS of sashimi.
    5. A really excellent date with someone remarkably like Vince Vaughn who ISN’T dating Jennifer Aniston.
    6. The innate ability to write perfectly to “voice” without extensive workshopping.
    7. A lovely bag to replace my beloved work bag, which experienced the dreaded “strap-rip” yesterday. Grrr.
    8. A shopping spree at MAC to replace the things that rolled out of my bag and smashed after the dreaded “strap-rip.”
    9. A giant bin of sour soothers (or keys, just for Christina)
    10. Total and utter allergy relief
    11. My own personal swimming pool. Oh yes, and a bathing suit that doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyeballs into oblivion.
    12. A cute pendant necklace that doesn’t accentuate my lack of neck (a necklace for the neckless?)
    13. Sunglasses to replace those destroyed by the Fat Man and the Escalator.
    14. My own kumquat tree.
    15. A perfect, golden, noncancerous tan.
    16. Unlimited texting minutes.
    17. An inbox full of happy emails sans the letters FW:
    18. A really good recipe for ceviche.
    19. A sudden influx of absolutely unearmarked funds for decorating my new place.
    20. The 1000 threadcount sheets I saw on sale for $80.
    21. A new wallet that doesn’t drop all my cards when I open it.
    22. A Dyson vac.
    23. A robin’s egg blue Kitchen Aid.
    24. A personal car service, at my beck and call 24-7.
    25. Innate flexibility, and oh yeah… world peace.

    (Just to avoid looking shallow. Oh… right. TOO LATE.)

      World Peace? You had me in a reverie of what I’d like — peace is not one of them, humans have conflict coded into their genetic code — something as simple as the water we drink or the air we breathe can trigger violence…. so, no, give me a good, vegan lipgloss :)

      two of my favorite things…my Timbuk2 bag (which i use for work and more, guaranteed to NEVER succumb to strap-rip) and my Lodis wallet which i got to replace my constantly card-spilling one. it has never let me down. neither are cheap, so maybe some of your unearmarked decorating money can be allocated for other purchases

      I heart my dyson. I almost belong to the dyson cult. My dog loves it too, evidently the cords are very tasty. Seriously though, especially if you have pets (4 cats, 2 dogs and a daughter with a head of hair like Cousin It) nothing picks up the hair better. And I’ve tried A LOT of different vacs.
