Stuff I'd Like
In the interest of being able to look up what sort of stuff I like, here's a list. Updated sporadically.
For the extensive joy of Caryatid, I herein provide my birthday: April 23. If you forget, go ask Chadius. Or my father-in-law.
These items are more or less in order by preference:
- A gift card to anywhere you can find that sells bras (or swimsuits) in 28E-FF. No, really. Try Europe. In fact, Bravissimo now has them.
- A pair of lightish weight flannel pajama pants (dark colors/plaid/etc), size about a ladies medium
- Something like this (okay, it might not be dark, but it's PURPLE.)
- The new Capitol Steps album
- under armour coldgear compression tights, M, black. (There might be two different types like 'frosty' and 'outdoor' or something. As long as it says "coldgear" it's good.)
- under armour coldgear mock neck shirt, S. Neutral color (black preferably, or grey). Something like this. (Note, I am specifically looking for the compression fit and warmth.)
- An outdoor watering can. I think I'll want at least a gallon of capacity. And the kind that "sprinkles" instead of "pours".
- A set of free weights
- 1lb increments up to 5lbs
- 2.5lb increments from 5 up to about 30
- Stands to hold the weighs and exercise balls
- A Marathon gift card for personal training.
- A gift card for an hour massage at Marathon (Yes, this is now a regular fixture.) You might have to call, but there's a phone number on their Contact Us page.
- iTunes gift card
- CD's to add to my music collection (see link for specifics.)
- Gift cards: Home Depot, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond
- Gift cards: Kohls, Macy's, Victoria's Secret, R.E.I. (Which one of these is not like the others?)
- The Errorwear BSOD girly shirt in a medium (or, for bonus points, see if you can actually get in touch with them and find out whether they ever intend to get small. I sure can't.)
- high-quality milk chocolate, plain or with hazelnut
- PMC donations -- eGift ID CB0167. This is great for my birthday, less so around Christmas time (due to the mid-October deadline). Sadly, I will probably not participate in 2010 either due to the recent house purchase.
