What's on your WANT list for Christmas?
I'm so up in the air...I'd like a keurig,
i'm in love with the beco baby carrier, but the idea of $160 on a baby carrier when I have a kelty AND a moby kills me.
I'd like a new coach diaper bag, but there's nothing wrong with the one I have...
I'd like a birthstone necklace celebrating Ben's birthmonth.
I'd like a weekend away.
Le sigh...What's on your list?
Re: What's on your WANT list for Christmas?
I want a new TV for our bedroom.
I need some gift cards for clothes.
I would like a new food processor and a couple more sets of our wedding china, 3 to be exact.
*Jt and I have decided to just buy each other TVs and do stockings and that's it.

Erin, what made you decide on Kindle? I've wanted a kindle for months, but now that I have looked at the nook I have no idea what I want!
Mr. and Mrs. est. September 6, 2008 Expecting Baby #1 October 1, 2013
tangible wants?
black pearl earrings
white watch
flat boots that fit my calves
an external flash & a zoom lens for our camera
new silver hoops, specifically in white gold rather than silver with a square shape
small-ish "work" purse that would still be OK for the weekend, in cognac
bigger purse, similar to above, big enough to fit small bag + shoes...but in lemon or burnt orange...I'd never actually drop the kind of money on a bag the one I saw and now covet is though
I tend to buy or get what I want when I want it. I'm not spoiled or anything I am just one of those impatient people. That's a bad thing most times especially now with our new and considerably less income. There's not much that I want that I don't have but if money were no object at all my wish list would be:
a few more pieces of furniture & decor to finally finish off my house
a gardener
a maid
a popcorn machine on a cart for our entertainment room
I don't think we're going to do gifts for each other this year. We didn't last year. Money is a huge issue at the moment. Not much of it and we have to get used to having less.
CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
I like the Kindle because it has a longer battery life when the wi fi is turned off, it holds more books, not that I would probably ever have over 1,000 books but you never know I guess. I just started recently looking into the Nook because we got one for my MIL and I thought it would be cool to be able to share books through the lending feature that the Nook has, but I think I will stick with the Kindle. I just feel that the Kindle has been around a lot longer so the kinks have been worked out if there were any.
