OK - I got my person. Present shopping will be difficult since no wish list was posted. Who am I to talk - I didnā€™t post one either! Lets see - for me - basically anything. I like Anne Geddes calendars. I have a cat and a dog. I collect shot glasses. And you can never go wrong with scented candles! ---

Thanks to the generosity of a friend, I am in and just got my ā€œpersonā€! Iā€™ve got some great ideas for them! If anyone gets me, I want some cool underwear(no one will see them, but if **I** know Iā€™m wearing sexy undies, I feel good. šŸ™‚ Oh, size 6 ---

Geez, Greenbean, at least my surgery is planned. I canā€™t imagine how hectic it is to have _emergency_ work done. We will all be praying that hubby is ok. Now, I have a request to my giftee out there. You havenā€™t posted a like/dislike list, so if you are located in Michigan, with a post count of less than one thousand, can you give me at least a little hint? But if I donā€™t hear from my givee, rest assured, it will be G-rated. ---

A great big thank you to **Billdo** for getting the emails out: Thank You! Yeah, itā€™s been a crazy evening getting things ready for the surgery and the recovery. (Iā€™m taking a break and eating oreos right now) Luckily, we have family nearby and and a wonderful babysitter. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and good wishes! Iā€™ll pop back in with a report when I get a chance. Or more likely, Iā€™ll make my brother do it. šŸ˜‰ ---

ok i am usually not too fond of telling people what to get me but since so many people seem to want a wish list, i shall provide one. books are more than welcome, especially any neil gaiman (except for american gods and neverwhere, since those two i own-- and love to pieces) also, anything from wherever you are from is cool. movie paraphanelia is also great or if you like, i am very fond of more personal gifts like a mix cd of all your favorite songs, things of that nature. i love that stuff. hope that helped! this is exciting indeed šŸ™‚ ---

Hey **Flashpoint** , Iā€™ll volunteer to be your giftee. Since youā€™re new let me explain the rules though. 1. The gift must require a mortgage of your home. Iā€™d like a sports car of some sort. Preferably blue. 2. You pay shipping. šŸ˜ƒ Got my victim, I mean giftee this morning. ---

I donā€™t think I posted a wish list. Here it goesā€¦ Anything from your area. Candles Bubble bath Iā€™m easy to pleaseā€¦ The only thing I can think of that I donā€™t care for much is chocolate. šŸ™‚ This is so much fun!
