things that could save my life.

this has been a less than perfect year for me. i know this, and by the look on your face, you know this. but, if, deep down, the jolly red man thinks i am deserving of a consumerist pat-on-the-back, these are the items that i hope to hold near and dear to my heart at the end of this holiday season.

two words: crochet cactus.

the mere thought of these accompanying the chia-cat on my windowsill make my heart do cartwheels. and my heart is no gymnast.

a subscription to bust magazine.

it's kind of odd that i don't subscribe already. so it's time.

the new david sedaris book.

because he makes any holiday season a little more bearable. period.

lastly, and most importantly--before you say i'm greedy &/or undeserving--all i really want is this.

next year, i promise i'll be better. and nicer. and i'll share pickles with you. for at least 30 minutes. (she is my bff afterall).

and i will look forward for it. i will look forward for you.
