Gimme, gimme.

I keep a list of "wants" in my Outlook notes. It's a list for all things not included in the budget at the moment {or for the month- or sometimes for a very-long-time}, or things that I just can't seem to track down. This list a good thing to do, because I can prioritize what I want now, what can wait for later, & what I should probably keep wishing for. I don't mean to be materialistic {just see how tiny our apartment is & how little stuff we have}, I just like to stay organized so that I don't forget what I really, really want. :) On my current list:

We don't have a picture of Christ in our apartment. Well- we have a really small one, & it's sort of abstract. I love it- I just wish it were bigger. I want a big one- maybe like the one you have in your living room, Kelli. I like that one. Shopping ideas?

I like the idea of Bumble & Bumble's Thickening Spray. I especially like that it tames flyaways & frizzies without being goopy {I have flyaway & frizzy problems, thanks to NYC humidity}.

I want a Rebel. I know, I know... I just bought a new camera this summer {& have loved it}. But my entire family has this camera, & it really takes the most amazing pictures. I think it will be a nice thing to buy when our family includes other {smaller} people.

I've been looking for this blood orange {one of Mike's favorite things} sorbet for a long time. The Vinegar Factory sells just about every kind of Ciao Bella made- except blood orange.

Someday, I would like to invest in a salon-quality ceramic straigtener. Tara- don't you have a good one?

I want a new pencil skirt. I can wear it with boots in the winter, or heels when I need to dress up a bit more. It's a staple for work, and my current one needs to be refreshed.

I'm not really a perfume person. I love smelling clean & fresh {of course}, & Mike always tells me that I smell like "cute girl". But sometimes I like perfume. I occasionally use Rosewood from Banana Republic, but I really like Fresh's Sugar Lychee. I've almost bought it a few times, only to be held back by my observance of Mike's holy budget {see- I do a good job sometimes!}.

I'm currently running in Saucony's. I don't love them. I've heard that running shoes are like bras- you find a pair that fits, & you buy three pairs. In a few months {when I've worn out my current shoes}, I'm going to go back to my Mizuno's. I loved them.

I have wanted these charms {or some variation of them} for forever. My birthday is coming up. And our 2 1/2 year anniversary {same day as my birthday, conveniently enough}. Christmas is right around the corner. I'm WISHING.

Who doesn't love shiny hair? Bb.Shine sounds like a great product {but I don't love the $38 price tag- yikes!}.
