Weird wings and things

The weather was gorgeous for a week. Seemed like Autumn was right around the corner. Now it’s hot again.

At least my air conditioning is working again. It was nice to get a reprieve from it for a week. And thank goodness it coincided with cool weather.

Last night after Sunday dinner with my parents, Mom and Lisa presented me with birthday presents!!?! I was really surprised especially since my birthday is so far off. Turns out, I’m wrong and it’s in 3 days. Mom gave me a purple necklace and matching earrings. Lisa got me two analog journals, a tunic with cross-stitched roses around the neck and sleeves and a cute tablet. I am very happy with my loot!

At any rate, it did get me thinking about items I would LOVE to get for myself… but I hate to splurge.

    My Dream Wishlist (not a call for gifts… this is mainly the big stuff I dream about…sometimes)

  1. iPad
  2. Replace my HTC Hero with the Evo
  3. Pure Sensia Internet Radio
  4. Laser hair removal on my legs
  5. Vado HD Video Camera Mr. Pookie bought me a Vado for my birthday!
  6. Licensed Photoshop and Illustrator and lessons on how to use them
  7. The bed I slept in at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Dallas.
  8. PC Projector so I can truly be a public speaker– I hate always having to beg for one.
  9. Licensed copy of Camtasia. Unless someone can convince me that I am simply not using CamStudio to the fullest of it’s capabilities.
  10. I want a new briefcase/laptop case and matching portfolio… I still use my old company’s portfolio and that’s just ghetto… I am sorry I used that term since when I hear people using it, I think they are being racist, and here I am using it.
  11. I want a kick ass logo for my business. And I keep trying and I just can’t do it myself and I think I should maybe just hire a designer but I am just cheap. But when I have tapped designers for help, they give me crappy output… and it seems like no one can understand what I mean when I say Googie, Atomic Age, Mid Century Modern, retro-futuristic, The Jetsons, Thunderbirds are GO!

Is that all? Not bad! I am a cheap date!
