santa baby

dear santa

i think i've been a good person this year, however i can't say that with any real certainty. i've tried to be polite, less judgemental, warmer, more understanding, patient, courageous, and open. in return i've deepend my friendships, felt more secure and present in love, so much more comfortable with family, and more confident and pleased with work. what blessings. i've of course had moments of irresponsibilty, wrecklessness, insensitivity, fear, malice, sadness, and outright ugliness. i always feel regretful for having fallen into such easy ways of reacting to and dealing with situations, but...you pick yourself up and realize those are your lows.

so again, i can't say with any authority whether i'm naughty or nice. but i'm mindful...and doesn't that count fer sumfin?

here are the following sumfins i'd like it to count for, should it at all:

1) i would like my ceiling to stop leaking. and my floor to stop leaking into the dry clearner downstairs as well.

2) i'd like a claw foot tub with a wrap around shower curtain. but it has to be installed near the wall. otherwise i have nowhere to put my hair.

3) a new, energy efficient refrigerator. something is making my con ed bills outrageous and i have a sneaking suspicion that's it.

4) a really expensive mattress pad. space-age technology.

5) those amazing purple glass, irredescent plates from crate + barrel spring 08. i think they were called...oyster collection? don't hold me to that.

6) french doors on my room. and on justin's room for that matter. the dining room needs light. badly.

7) a new, grown-up couch. but i'd even just settle for a new futon cover.

8) a rocking chair? i don't know...i'm reaching now.

9) a club chair.

10) a perfect bookshelf for my office.

11) more books.

12) more plants. endless amounts of plants and books.

so...just let me know.
