Why it is a bad idea to start creating holiday/birthday wishlists: I come up with entirely too many things. And this isn't even the definitive list, just what I can bare to narrow myself down to.
1. Just about everything from the Victorian Trading Co., most particularly (and affordably)
-this summer cottage tiered stand, these regal champagne flutes, this table runner or this one, this bon bon dish, this warming trivet, this heirloom box, this tea set, this letter holder or this one, this lantern or these hanging votives, this votive tray, this lamp, these tea lights, these wall hooks, and this stationary set.
2. The rest of Josephine Tey's books (I have already read Daughter of Time and The Franchise Affair).
3. A trip to France, to Vienna, to Italy, or to Edinburgh.
4. A day bed and a window seat.
5. Jewelry from the Metropolitan Museum.
6. A new apartment.
7. Arashi 5x10 tour goods (particularly the cellphone strap, phamphlet, and poster).
8. Whatever seasons there are available of QI on DVD.
9. A horse.
10. Vintage decorations/house goods/accessories.
My three-day weekend was somewhat productive; I did a bit of work on my dress, dyed my hair, bought contact solution, and got the last chapter of RBtY up to approximately 3/4 finished. Also did a bunch of small 'fics for the kink meme, but I've been good about not reposting them.
Today and tomorrow are test days at Kise, so I will be sitting on the computer all day and possibly twiddling my thumbs.
Also: Last night I discovered that the walls of my apartment are thin enough to hear my next door neighbor snoring. And my keys have once again gotten themselves stuck fast into the ignition - and once again none of the tricks that should work are working. Sometimes I really hate my life.
But then mom wrote to tell me about the hotel she got for us in Hawaii, and I have Stevie to look forward to over the break, so I have some solace.
