So here we go - Christmas Wish List Part Dos . . .
I have always wanted a bonsai tree. I remember when I was little that my grandpa had one. I remember him taking care of it out on their back deck. I think that they are the cutest things ever!
I have recently realized that I need a new toothbrush. This came to my attention when, as I was brushing, some of the bristles came off and got stuck in my permanent retainer. Although brushing my teeth isn't the most pleasant experience at the present time, I can hold out until Christmas as long as I don't have to pay for one myself. Cheap, I know.
Not only is my toothbrush old and worn out, it is also pink. If you're going to get me a toothbrush for Christmas, please don't make it a pink one. I beg of you.
What kind of a health science major/aerobic teacher would I be if I didn't have an adequate supply of exercise equipment in my own home? Here is a short list of things I would like to start acquiring:
- exercise ball
- 10-lb. hand weights
- jump rope
- floor mat
I have the worst luck with water bottles. I can't tell you how many I have lost over the years. My favorite to date was the one that I bought at the BYU-Idaho Bookstore. It had the BYU-Idaho logo on it and the top flipped open. That was a special water bottle. It accompanied me all around Washington, D.C. this summer. Everywhere I went, my water bottle went too (kind of like Mary and her lamb). I left it at work once or twice, but never ran the risk of losing it while there. As soon as I got back to school . . . . gone.
And so I bought another one, but after a few weeks it started leaking. So once again I am water bottle-less. I even borrowed my mom's this past weekend for a school trip and I ended up leaving it in my friend's car. Hopefully I'll get it back later this week.
Although my first preference would be to get another water bottle from the Bookstore, I would be happy with any good quality water bottle that doesn't leak. And again, please don't make it pink.
I have recently formed this new obsession for playing popular tunes on the piano and singing along. I only do this when I am home alone, but I find it quite enjoyable. Thus far, I have been resorting to using tutorials on youtube to learn some songs, but I think it would be much more fun to have some actual sheet music. Here are some songs that I would like to have:
- "The Nearness of You" - Norah Jones
- "Thinking Over" - Dana Glover
- Any song by Missy Higgins
- Various songs by Coldplay
- Other Norah Jones songs
One last item I would like is a pair of sweats from the BYU-Idaho Bookstore. I see others wearing them and they look sooo comfortable. I always told myself that I would get some at graduation, if not before then.
Note: After reading this through, I think that I sound very demanding. Please realize that I do not expect anything and this list is all just for fun.
Funny story: The other day I was looking through my bottom drawer in the bathroom and to my surprise I found . . . a toothbrush! I guess it's an early Christmas for me this year! But you wanna know the best part? The toothbrush is (you guessed it) PINK. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just great that you are asking for exactly what you want. I thnk Bonsai are more work to care for than a small child. They need to be watered often because their pots are so shallow. Also I don't think they do well in doors for long periods of time so you need a place outside where it will survive. That means you need one that can survive those wicked Idaho winters.
