My Twelfth Day of Christmas

Kind of anti-climactic, but I need some warm gloves! Preferably right now, as my wittle fingers are freezing! (Not that I could wear gloves now, in my office, while typing, but still...)
I have a pair of regular knit gloves right now, but I don't think they help much. And something that's a little bit thicker may resist being locked in every button and buckle on the car seat - hopefully!
I liked the gloves hubby found in the house a couple weeks ago, but he had them stuck in the door pocket on the car and they fell out while we were getting in or out last weekend. Now all we have is the right glove. Sad day :(
I'd like a new pair, and I promise to be careful not to lose one!

My Eleventh Day of Christmas

If I'm gonna dream, dream big, right? I would love to have a new camera. For a while I had a fantastic Canon Rebel, but it used that archaic stuff, film. A digital of a very similar camera would rock my socks. I admittedly am not sure about what features/options/etc I want, but this looks similar to what I'm after. By no means am I anywhere near the mad skillz of my professional photographer friends, but I think my pictures could look a little better if I had a camera that did a little better in the first place. Only one way to find out! Santa?

My Tenth Day of Christmas

I would love to have new bedding! I only took a few minutes to browse, but I really like the look of this set from Brylane Home. And it's on sale - what are the odds? The set we have right now is the one we registered for when we got married in 2006. There are some beaded sections and stuff on it that are just falling apart. Something with just one fabric/design would also be easier to clean. I'm afraid to put our old set in the wash - it would be the last of the beads!

If hubby doesn't agree, we certainly don't need this exact set, but it still would be nice to have some new. Oh, and if we make it that far? An extra set of sheets to match it too would be handy. If Santa thinks we've been REALLY good, we've got two windows that could use the matching drapes and valances as well ;)

See, Mom? We all want prettier household stuff!

My Ninth Day of Christmas

I've been looking for a new perfume. Now is the ideal time, because I know I never buy perfume for myself! Hubby got me some last year that I asked for, and it will run out before the end of 2010, so I'd better plan ahead, right? I smelled a sample of Ed Hardy Hearts and Daggers in a magazine yesterday and decided I like it. I don't like anything too floral, more of a spicy and subtle fragrance. What's your favorite?

My Eighth Day of Christmas

No pictures today, folks. I need some 'unmentionables' (bras, that is). I ordered a couple a month or so ago and have been happy with them, but I miss the days when I had a bunch of sets of nice stuff. Beauty comes from the inside, right? There's another layer between my soul and my clothes ;)

My Seventh Day of Christmas

PJs! Hubby commented the other day that my hoodie and old PJ penguin pants don't exactly inspire passion. Go figure. But I'm not wearing some slinky lil thing - it's COLD when we first go in our room to go to bed! I'm hoping these long-john style ones are made to be cozy! I also liked the Sleepover Flannel PJs, especially in the pink toile pattern.
I'm afraid they're still not exactly 'sexy,' but I also don't think shivering is a turn-on, right?

My Sixth Day of Christmas

Whoops - I'm running a little late today!
I'm perpetually cold, so instead of wearing my black turtlenecks every day, I'm trying something new this year. I'm wearing scarves with my layered t-shirts. Yeah, fancy pants me, eh? The scarves I've pictured here are from Target, but neither of them are available online. They may still be in the stores. I just posted up the pictures to show some that looked cozy to me. Hand-knit would be cool too - just nice long, thick-ish scarves to keep me warm!

My Fifth Day of Christmas

So this one is mostly for hubby - he's the only one who should be buying me diamonds, right? These diamond earrings I think are actually a little bigger than the next pair I want. I have multiple piercings in each ear and I'm putting graduated diamonds with the smallest at the top and bigger ones on the way down (there are three holes on one side and four on the other). So far I've got one itty bitty diamond and one big diamond in one ear, and a matching big diamond in the other ear. I don't want one any bigger, so I need one between the itty bitty and the big. Oh, the problems I have, eh? :P

My Fourth Day of Christmas

The fourth item on my list is a little more specific than it needs to be. I need a good make-up primer. This Twilight Freshface Glow was recommended in some magazine I've read lately (maybe Parents?). Anyway, if you have another suggestion, please drop it here!

And if this is what you're good at, I'm also searching for a great under-eye moisturizer. I'm using Oil of Olay's 7-something right now, but even putting it on multiple times a day isn't alleviating the dry skin under my left eye. Yes, just my left eye. What can I say, apparently I'm a freak.

My Third Day of Christmas

This? Is just too perfect for me. A hooded sweatshirt (which I love to wear almost every day, except I only own two) - and this one already says, "Maggie's Mommy." Yup. That's me. This looks like it would fit in a medium, but over other stuff would probably be perfectly cozy in a large.
I actually browsed and browsed at Cafe Press for a hooded sweatshirt that would say something I'd want to say. I looked at all the natural birth ones, and the breastfeeding support ones. There were a few that looked decent, but Maggie's Mommy was the truest one there :)

My Second Day of Christmas

Okay - in all honesty, they don't have to be these exact pants, but I need at least one more pair of work pants.

My 'usual' job (chasing Maggie!) has me wearing jeans most days, but my chocolate job requires me to dress it up just a notch. I have one pair of khaki pants that currently fit me okay (translation: not like a sausage casing), and I'd like to have a black pair handy as well. I wear long skirts to some meetings and events, but a skirt is just not convenient for an actual show, where I haul in my bags, and unpack, display, move around passing samples, re-pack, all ideally while keeping my underwear under wraps.

Okay, yeah, so back on track...I'd like to wish for a pair of black pants. Not too dressy, but no denim for sure!

My First Day of Christmas

That's right - it's DECEMBER FIRST!!

The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector has made it on and off my wish list - mostly because I don't want to wait until December 25 to have it! It is awesome! I don't think hubby's exceptionally fond of the smell, but I really like it. My hands have been getting so dry lately - they were definitely softer back when I worked in an office and could put hand lotion on 50 times a day during phone calls. I don't get those kind of 'breaks' as a mom! I'm at the very bottom of the tube of this that I got for hubby in his stocking last year (or maybe even the year before?) - I need my own full one, and fast!

When I looked it up and wrote this post, it's on sale for only $9 (more than half off!), plus flat rate shipping is only $2 - can you see why I almost just bought it for myself instead of typing all this out to put it on my list? I highly recommend The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector (and I unfortunately have not been given a free sample or any other compensation to say all this!).
