sugar and spice and everything groovy

Wishlist

The other day I realized that there were things I wanted to accomplish but I simply couldn’t remember them. I keep to do lists but not a wishlist of places I want to visit and things I want to do. So here it is, my wishlist. It is in the making and I will be adding to it so when the time comes, I can plan more efficiently and start crossing items off.

  • Visit Winnipeg
  • Visit Venice, Italy
  • Visit Greece, or wherever it was they shot the movie Forty Carats
  • Visit Seattle, Portland, & Vancouver
  • Get hardwood flooring in my dining room and parlor
  • Get a Monte Carlo Automobile accomplished January 2007
  • Get a full size bedaccomplished Fall of 2006
  • Get new flatware for my kitchen, I’m tired of using forks and spoons that had been my parents’ through the 80’s and then my grandmother’s through the 90’s.accomplished 3rd day of Spring 2008
  • Trench coat, a really good, long lasting trench coat.
  • A wardrobe of classic, good quality clothes — clothes that I wear– clothes that I love.
  • Wireless speakers that connect to my laptop, uh, wirelessly- so I can have music untethered throughout my house.
  • I think I want Ikea’s EXPEDIT bookcase for $79.99 to keep up in the loft and store my vinyl records in…. I think.
  • I want to clean out my attic and garage and have shelves — so I can store my stuff in a very noncomplicated, very organized way.
  • I want a nice couch up in the Loft and not the crappy futon I picked up off the street that someone was throwing away.
    I would even like new carpeting up in the loft— the carpet up there is in really bad shape.
    I’ve been moaning about this for a long time: fix my back patio! It’s so nice out there except the bricks are all uneven because it wasn’t really installed right the first time– instead of being built up- it’s kinda sunken PLUS there is a tree that was planted right next to it and its roots have caused massive damage to the patio.
