Things I really want (But totally don't need)

I've never considered myself to be particularly materialistic. In fact, I've got one of the lower cost-of-living lifestyles of anyone I know. Seriously. I could live well on twenty grand a year.

But lately...

I WANT...

I mean seriously. I want these things. (Even though I totally don't need them.)

The Kitchenaid Ice Cream Mixer stand attachment

And let's not forget the Pickstitch Quilt and Sham set from Pottery Barn (in moss green).




And I really, really want to just go ahead and buy the second season of that BBC show, HUSTLE, on DVD.

Oh yeah, and how much am I dreading wearing my old coat all winter? How much cuter would I be in this one?


But my coat is still perfectly good. Like my car. But that doesn't stop me from drooling every time I see one of these. (The Acura RDX. But I'm waiting on the hybrid)






So do you see why I might be concerned? I'm being overtaken by greed.


What about you guys? What do you want?

I want a new bed. Mine is literally falling apart. And it's a single. It would be nice for a 25-year-old woman to have somthing a little more grown up. It's not like I'm living in a dorm room anymore. I'm saving my pennies to be a decent queen-sized set sometime this year.

I have a long list of books I want, and I fulfilled a small segment of my wish list through Amazon today. I also am lusting after a camera, seasons 4-6 of Buffy, seasons 1 and 3 of Lost, and the Tiffany necklace to match my earrings. I would like to have a bigger bed (much like the first anonymous, I am 25, and I'm starting to outgrow my twin) and my own car, because 25 is just too old to share with a sister anymore. The thing I want more than anything else though is a new job, either at a library or teaching. I had an interview a week ago that went great, but alas, they chose someone else.

I realy really really want your book Ally, but since that is imposible I want High School Musical 2 to come out sooner. But since that is impossible I want a horse. BUt since I have no chance whatsoever of getting a horse in the near future, I want a piece of chocolate to make me feel better. :)

We all are a little greedy sometimes. But that's perfectly healthy and normal. Just remember to stay sensible (although you deserve to splurge every once in a while)

I want to have enough money to buy all the books on my booklist (and there's at least twenty books on that). Ummm... I want to have my writing.com subscription be renewed for the year ($50) I want to receive more ARCs (possibly CMHAHTS **smiles innocently** ). And I want to meet more authors (like you!). And I really want to finish writing this novel. Oh, and I really really want my huge crush to ask me out.

I'm sooo overtaken with greed, but at least alot of it is in my control, or it's free.
