My dad's asking for my wish list and I've noticed some of you have added things to your Amazon lists in anticipation of our fave jolly breaking & entering man visiting. So I'm reading a piece on MSN and OMFG...look at these shoes. I am a shoe whore. But I also don't wear leather (if I can - have you tried to find a nonleather belt for work?) so this specific pair is out, but damn it I hope Payless has a pair like that.

I've said before that I've lost a lot of weight and need new clothes. So that's my wish list - clothes. It'll be interesting to see if my dad can shop for me. He hasn't physically bought me clothes since I was probably six. When I was a teen he would just hand me his credit card and I'd sign his name. Ah, the days of lax credit security!

I'm actually fearing Christmas. Everyone's coming over to our place because of Ella. Yikes! We're a big "wake-up and open presents" family, so I'm sure my sisters & dad will sleep over. Then the in-laws will come over. Yikes! Then there's the big spread that my sisters & I will make. Yikes! Only 42 baking days left! I wonder what those shoes will look like with an apron?
