Wish List

A couple weeks ago I tweeted that I had a mile long Christmas list that kept growing.  And it really is. In fact there are three things on it that seem so wonderful if I only got these three things I would be pretty happy.

1. The Pioneer Woman cookbook.  (You can pre-order it here.)  I'm sure everyone else knows about her, but I have just recently fallen in love with her blog, pictures, recipes, etc etc.  Unfortunately, since I have three years of catching up to do, it is proving to be a total time-suck.

2. J. Crew has a good thing going - when the President's wife wears your clothes and all everyone can do is talk about them and take pictures of them, you know you have a good thing going.  And boy have they sucked me in.  I was almost exclusively a Limited girl because the clothes fit and with a good sale and a coupon the price is usually alright. But then I bought a pair of shorts off of the J. Crew website for $15 and they fit and made my summer, summer.  And I got their catalog in the mail. And I saw this.  And then Earl (the sweet sweet man that spoils me) took me there to try one on and we saw it in Indigo Blue in a size 4 so I can wear a light sweater under it if need be. And I searched and searched on Ebay and could not find one.  So, now I wait for Christmas. Hopefully the price will drop.

3. And then the next J. Crew catalog came out and I saw this.  And I haven't been able to try it on, but most likely a size 4 as well. (Just in case anyone wanted to know). Hopefully there will be some crazy sale and the price on this will decrease by 70%. That would be nice.

And my list is growing, because after reading The Pioneer Woman's blog, I want a digital SLR camera.  I wonder if Earl knew I had "caviar tastes" when he married me.  I know Katherine is shaking her head at the thought of owning a jacket that costs $200.  That's why I haven't bought it KB.  It's too much even for my caviar tastes.

Now, if you excuse me, I have some stuff to get done since the PW blog has stolen all my time this weekend!  

Ps - I will be packing up our stuff and learning how to run a farm, because after reading said blog all weekend, all I want to do with my life is raise four children on a cattle farm, minus all the laundry. Life in the country sounds so inticing as I realize tax season is merely months away.
