I would like [this](http://www.amazon.com/KRUPS-203-42-Electric-Grinder-Stainless/dp/B00004SPEU/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1385962686&sr=1-1). I would use it to grind spices instead of coffee beans. ---

The DVD set It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, seasons 1-6 + the Christmas DVD for my older son. I’ve been wanting to give it to him for the past two Christmases but it hasn’t fit in the budget (there’s always something more pressing needed.) I can hear him laugh from his room when he watches it on TV. ---

I’ve had my eye on some cake lessons from Craftsy where they have professionals teach a range of subjects regarding cake making (yes I like cakes). ---

Say, is it too late to ask for a 40-hour week job, 8:30 to 5pm? One that pays OT & has vacation and sick-days? I know that there are lots of them; the highways are packed in the mornings… ---

> [@Rhiannon8404](#): > > I would like the dent in my car fixed. Or some cool yarn. But more than anything, I want [Jokum](http://www.petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid=SCRM.A388615) to find his forever home. I am kind of sorta getting my last wish…Jokum was scheduled to be euthanized tomorrow, but instead he’s going to a boarding/training facility. It’s not a forever home, but at least he’s safe. Our shelter is just so full right now and at this new place he will get the training and attention he needs. ---

Rain. 1.6 inches here this calendar year, normal is 20. Rain! ETA: well, probably not all 18.4 missing inches in one day. Ouch. ---

This season’s two major Beatles-related items: _Tune In_ by Mark Lewisohn, the first volume of a projected 3-volume set, this one dealing with their pre-Beatlemania years; and the _Live at the BBC_ Vol. 2 CD. (I’m not going to like it as much as Vol. 1, but still should be a fun listen – possibly mostly for the spoken parts.) ---

Be careful what you ask for … Did you hear about the airline that asked the pre-boarding passengers what they wanted for Christmas and they all responded with most asking for apple’s new i5 phone etc, but one man said he just wanted underwear thinking that it was a joke. When the plane landed, in Canada I think it was, the airline had fulfilled every request and even gift wrapped the presents presenting them to the surprised passengers at the baggage claim area. Yep, you guessed it even the man that thought it was a joke and asked for underwear got exactly what he had asked for. I want more than one wife for Christmas … unfortunately I don’t even have one at the present time. ---

New kitchen cabinets and new countertops. Since that won’t happen a dozen pro v1’s would be nice. ---
