THIS BLOG'S MOST IMPORTANT PAGE!
I admit it. I'm hopeless. I love gifts. I love getting them. I love unwrapping them, tearing at the paper greedily and tossing bows high into the air as I claw at taped boxes, squealing in anticipation of what I'm about to discover under the lid.
Hedonistic? Well... ok. Sure. Is that so wrong? (I've learned lately that I should be getting out of my head and more in touch with my primal, sensual side anyway. Shut up.)
My only acceptable rationalization for this pitiful behavior is that I also love gift GIVING - finding THE PERFECT GIFT - something that will make the giftee literally glow with happiness.
What could be better than that? (Aside from perhaps being the one doing the glowing??)
Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Arbor Day and Groundhog Day are all great days to simultaneously express one's creative spark in gift selection and express one's appreciation for the object of the gifting. The only drawback to this is that I often find myself cash-poor when selecting gifts. Occasionally, I get lucky and my wallet and my find come together perfectly. Often, I must modify my choice as a result of what is probably a far too healthy zeal to self-gift. (Again, Shut up.)
Below you will find THE LIST: my very own comprehensive wish-list, encompassing not only my nearly limitless and ever-growing record of the things I want, but also the things I wish I had within my personality in order to affect change within myself, the places I wish I could go and great portions of the life I wish I had.
And yes, by all means feel free to refer to this perpetually-changing list should I ever be on the receiving end of your own gift-giving fetish. (And, of course, thank you in advance for your generosity.)
