Thursday Thirteen – Christmas Wish List

Scribbled down on November 8th, 2006 by she
Posted in Popularity Contests

I know, I posted this a few minutes early. I just couldn’t stay awake until midnight. It’s my fourth Thursday Thirteen but the first one posted on a Wednesday night.

Christmas is just around the corner. The hubby tells me that he just doesn’t get hints. Those who know him likely wouldn’t be surprised to read this little tidbit. He’s repeatedly told me that if I want something specific I have to come out and say it.

This week’s Thursday Thirteen is my attempt to not only tell the hubby what I’d like, but put it in writing so he can refer back to it anytime he needs to. Of course, this list isn’t just for him – anyone wanting to grace my Christmas tree with these items will be loved and adored.

Thirteen Things about SHE. Christmas Wish List.

  1. TicTac Silvers – A few years ago I bought some Christmas tree ornaments stuffed with these. They’re so yummy but alas can’t be found in stores in my area. I’ve filled suitcases with them when traveling back from the US. I’ve been known to stoop to begging traveling co-workers to bring me some (thanks Dane!).
  2. Corky’s BBQ Sauce – Memphis is one of my favourite US cities. When in Memphis I always make a point to eat at Corky’s BBQ at least once. I’ve actually broken a suitcase bringing bottles of this stuff home (the bags weighed so much). Alas, I haven’t been to Memphis in a few years and have no sauce left…
  3. Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: (5th Edition) – I’m going to need this for my next batch of courses at university.
  4. Learning to Solve Problems: An Instructional Design Guide – I’m working on expanding my resource library.
  5. Curriculum, Plans, and Processes in Instructional Design.
  6. Rapid Instructional Design: Learning ID Fast and Right, 2nd Edition.
  7. A flat panel monitor for my home office. It’ll hook up nicely on the back of the laptop when I’ve set my system into it’s dock and make working with documents a bit easier…
  8. A multi-function printer for the home office. Despite the planned office destination, this will be used mainly for scrap booking rather than work. The laser printer we have handles all of the office related print jobs I need. I want a multi-function printer to scan in photos and print digital photos we have on disk.
  9. A new chair for the home office. Unfortunately, to find a good replacement for the current chair, I’ll have to be in on the hunt. It has to satisfy both my back and my butt so a new chair can’t be a surprise purchase.
  10. Opera tickets – Hey hun, they’re running the Barber of Seville this year!
  11. Backscape – There’s just something about this print that really draws my eye and attention.
  12. MacBook or MacBook Pro – I know, I need a desktop system more than I need another laptop, but it’s still nice to dream. If I sit down and really think about it, I can’t justify purchasing a new system for a few years yet – that’s why this is called a wish list.
  13. A winning lottery ticket so we can pay off the mortgage years early.

  1. Great list..I need to put some thought into my needs vs wants…ya know?

  2. I have a friend who had to sell his opera tix cuz he didn’t have anyone to go with πŸ™

  3. Hey, if you get extras of #13, could you toss one my way? πŸ˜‰

    Thanks for stopping by my T-13!

  4. And seeing as that’s from Memphis, it probably gets used on proper barbeque, not just grilled meat. (I had a friend from Tennessee give me chapter and verse one day on barbeque versus grilling, and promise never ever to use the wrong word. In return, I forbade her from using the term “pop a cap in my ass”. This sounds far too bizarre when spoken in a thick, full-on grits-and-gravy US Southern accent. I figured it was a fair trade. πŸ˜€

  5. A winning lottery ticket … tops my list! Then you could fly to Memphis for more BBQ!

  6. i love this wish list….it gives me some ideas for mine.
    thanks for visiting my tt this week and for the birthday wishes for abby.

  10. #s 7, 12 and 13 are in my list too πŸ˜€

    Happy Thursday!

  11. thats an interesting list. hope you get them soon. enjoy your christmas and happy holidays. in case you are looking for some unique gift ideas, check out this Holiday Blog at http://christmas4all.blogspot.com
    have fun.

  12. I did the same thing for my 13 today! πŸ™‚ Great minds… πŸ™‚

    (p.s. Hope you get your MacBook!)

  13. Great list; guess I need to get on mine soon. It’s closer to Christmas than I realize! Hope you get the things from your list!

  14. Great list!! Not only wishful, but practical too! I did this same thing on my TT last week (my Amazon wishlist).

    Happy Thursday!!

  15. I want a new macbook too!

    May you get everything on your list!

    Thanks for stopping by!

  16. Thanks for stopping by my TT earlier!

    I’m saving this particular topic until closer to Christmas. It takes lots of deep thought, you know? πŸ™‚ I do need a new desk chair for home …

  17. Thanks for visiting my TT.

    I like Corky’s BBQ, but I prefer the Rendevouz. Have you been there?

  18. Thanks for visiting my TT.

    Over the years I’ve had a lot of people tell me they prefer Rendezvous to Corky’s. While the atmosphere is better at the Rendezvous and you do get to stay for as long as you want when you manage to get in – unlike Corky’s where you kind of get rushed out the door – I find the food isn’t as good.

    The sauce is great, the meat is great, but everything else tastes the same to me. I want my beans to taste like beans and my slaw to taste like slaw…

  19. This is terrible…but I think I want Christmas to be over!!!!

  20. I can’t imagine a suitcase full of barbecue sauce! But, theirs is good!

    My TT is up.

  21. i’m on a macbook right now…. it’s awesome. hope you get one!

  22. What a great list! My family has the “lottery code” which is basically if anyone wins it, they must pay off the mortgages of the entire “close” family. It’s fun to think about! I hope you get what you wish for and some nice surprises along the way!

  23. I don’t think that the list is spicific enough for me, better luck next year

  24. Great list idea!

    PS:

    Suki – that’s so sad. There should be a way your friend could meet people like me who like to go to the theater and the opera and also have no one to go with.

  25. […] Back in November, I posted a Christmas Wish List because the hubby was complaining that he didn’t get hints. He wanted to know exactly what it is I was hoping to find under the tree. Christmas has come and gone and I’m here to report that I didn’t receive a single thing on my wish list. This week’s Thursday Thirteen is a list of things I found under my tree. […]
