::Inspired by Tripler:: What do YOU want for X-mas? I want: A full-time petsitter for my dog. I hate boarding her when I go places. A full week at the spa. A job I enjoy that I can work at as much as I want. Someone to snuggle and read with. And other things, but you know… My Jeep back. ---

I already got what I want for Christmas… a trip to San Francisco, where I have someone to snuggle with and read and do other stuff… So all I really want for Christmas is a decent-paying job in the SF area so I can stay there. ---

All I want for Christmas is: A **Red Ryder** BB gun with a compass in the stock and a thing on the side that tells time. My 2 front teeth Ok, I’m sorry, I had to say them Really, what I want is some down time to relax, but I’m not going to get it. I want a big raise, or win the lottery so I can come off this damn tight budget, but I doubt that either of those will happen. I’d really like my student loans paid off. Anyone want to help? I’m taking suggestions. ---

The edit function, so I can correct spelling/grammar errors I still manage to miss despite using previews. Even a time-limited, like 5 minutes, would be peachy since I spot most of my errors just seconds after hitting the submit button. I promise to leave milk and cookies (or beer and brauts) for Uncle Santa if he comes through. 😃 ---
