My Quasi-Christmas List

Losing an entire blog entry has got to be one of THEE most annoying and frustrating things ever!

Let me try and recapture what was just lost into oblivion...

I have decided to not spend money. This has been going on since August 1st and is going quite well.

In "not spending money", I have had to come to terms with 'wants' and 'needs'.

Needs are obvious-food, clothing, shelter (although sometimes I wonder about food and clothing as needs. I find that a lot of people justify unnecessary spending on something that is definitely a 'want' simply because it falls into the category of food or clothing)

I have found that in not spending money I think about what I truly want more than when I was spending money because somehow things have more value and are more special now then when I'd just throw my money around and get everything I wanted all the time.

In that vein, I would like to compile a list of things that are cleary 'wants', simply because I would like somewhere for there to be a complete list and not just thoughts in my head, you know, in case I suddenly come into some money or something.

So without further ado and in no particular order, here is my list thus far:

*Glee Season 1 Soundtrack
*Adult Footie Pajamas
*Friends Seasons 5, 6 and 7 (these are all I'm missing to make my series complete)
*Socks without holes (or sewn toes for that matter)
*A blowdryer that doesn't spark when in use (I live on the wild side)
*My magazine subscriptions to Martha Stewart and Better Homes & Gardens (both are finito come January)
*A new lightbulb for my nightlight in the bathroom (it's amazing how accustomed to these things one becomes, however still not a need!)

I think that's all for now, it's hard to just sit here and try to think of things I've been trying to remember for a few months. I'm sure this will be getting added too.
