Adult Presents I'd love for 2007
Saturday, December 15, 2007
It may seem selfish to make a list of things I'd love to get - but I've been giving so much lately that I don't feel guilty about it...
So... instead of a bunch of frilly fun stuff that I, of course, always love - here's a list of things that I've been thinking would be really nice to have gifted - and probably make me sound like an absolute geek for thinking in the realm of responsible --- but I have a sneaking suspicion most all adults out there wouldn't mind these either:
1. Several Rolls of Quarters (for Laundry). That, or I guess I could just move when my lease is up to a place that has its own laundry machines... but I really like my apartment... so quarters are good.
2. A bi-weekly cleaning lady. Even a monthly cleaning lady. 12 cleaning lady visits for the year. Beautiful... BEAUTIFUL!
3. Free Gas for a year. This may sound like a bold request, but now that I think about it, I only spend about $80 a month on gas - Hello $960 bucks for 2008... that can be directed to my bank account instead of my cute little car (no, I will not give up my car for anything...) :)
4. Grocery Dollars --- This could be for a few months... or 6, or a year again... and as most people know - this is a woman's highest expense. Why? Because we love food. Say hello to $300-$400 / month. that's $4,800 bucks in a year. Again - i direct this to my savings.
5. Someone to train my cats how to poop/pee in a human toilet.
I've seen this done. The majority of the cleaning I do is geared toward cleaning the cat box, throwing out trash because of this, and sweeping up litter and mopping up butt stains from my asshole cat who I love dearly, but feels the need to wipe his ass on my floors. I feel like if they could master the toilet the time and energy I spend on the above could be directed elsewhere.
6. A pocket chiropractor/massage therapist. Just someone to shove in my drawer and pull out whenever my neck /shoulders start acting up. I guess I could get a boyfriend... with an M.D. ... for that.
7. Membership to Wine of the Month Club. Simply - I handle stress pretty ok - but there are times when I need a god damn glass of red wine, and dammit... it better be a good one! Leave it to some club to tell me what's good and what's not. Then I don't have to decide. :)
I feel to sheepish to ask for giant bills that I incur every month to be paid for (my mortgage, insurance, etc.) --- so that's my short list.
[p.s. shame on you who's mind went to the gutter on that title]

I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
