What's on your wish list?

[bumblebee]

Here's my and my husband's:
1. Nice furniture for our family room.
2. A new compact car, probably a Civic.
3. A special trip for me, my husband and our two youngest.
4. A water filtration system for our home.
5 Solar panels.

Please share yours, and feel free to expand on mine. If anyone has any grand idea about where to take our 11 & 14 before they won't be seen with us, that would be great. I guess it needs to be somewhere in the US with the dollar being so weak.

[Miso Vegan]

In this order:
Mini wind turbine.
Solar panels.
water catchment system.
greenhouse.
electric car(s).
renovated house.

[bumblebee]

intrigued by electric car...info?

[Miso Vegan]

Well they're not available yet, but I think next year - or was it 2010? that they'll be here. I would accept an air-powered car as a substitute. I'm reasonable. :)

I forgot to put on my list, piano lessons for my son (and while we're wishing, I'd wish that he will love the piano lessons.).

That a slow horribly painful death wasn't the only possibility in my mom's future
That the family would truly reconcile

On a more selfish note...
A GPS for hiking (thanks to a generous birthday gift this may soon be a reality - except I'm torn between the DeLorme Earthmate PN-20 (http://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtdItemDetail.jsp?item=27626&section=10051&promotion=) and the Garmin 60CSx (https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=145&pID=310).
Reshingled roof
Insulated garage door
Fenced yard (for Da Boyz)
Plant veggies and herbs

That magic house cleaning elves would live in the attic...

An energy efficient house (of my own)
An energy efficient car
A full-time job :umm:
A Rat Room
Winning Lotto numbers ;)

A part-time counseling job someplace closeby
A publisher for my book
Someone with whom to share my life

-a spice rack (i can't believe they're 30$, redic!)
-an electric car
-free or drastically reduced airfare so I could travel when/where I wanted

[Oatmeal Girl]

1. new vegan running shoes
2. a rack mounted on my bike
2. a vegan soft-serve machine in milwaukee
3. a vegan, environmentalist, anti-consumer, non-drug using, bike loving, kitty loving boyfriend.

probably in that order. is that too much to ask?

This one probably is... although I'm looking for pretty much the exact same thing! Here's to wishing :happy:

[chikara_no_tori]

lol--can i wish that the guy i already have suddenly wakes up one day and becomes a vegan, non-smoking, animal-rights, enviromentally concerned guy?

hmm...so much for wishing :laugh:

[TressaLou]

Hey, we all can have our dreams, can't we? ;)

[Oatmeal Girl]

I think they're out there somewhere, but there's definitely a huge shortage. I'll keep looking but in the mean time, I'd really like that soft-serve machine...

[bluedawg]

Oatmeal Girl, lixx on downer used to have vegan soft-serve... it was some kind of "tea infusion" or something like that, but it was nondairy and it was GOOD! i haven't been there in awhile, but the last time i was there they were having supply issues or summat, so it was touch-and-go. not sure if they ever sorted that out, but it might be worth checking and/or asking and/or pestering about!

[Emiloid]

I'd like three-day weekends and 34-hour days (with 8 to 10 hours of sleep each day). Also, the ability to do long-term planning really well. And a pottery wheel.

Aw heck! Once I break the pottery wheel barrier, what don't I wish for?!? :p

[nauthiz]

1. A cookie
2. Some sort of "belt line" that goes around the outside of Chicago so I can take the train to the west side without having to go all the way downtown and transferring
3. A new pair of jeans

Ooooh, I think an outing may be in order...;)

[TressaLou]

I have a new item to add to my wish list: a really awesome means of public transportation in my city, whether it be bus or subway. I'm so sick of spending all my money on gasoline!

[Oatmeal Girl]

I want a personal assistant who will sit beside me and slap my hand every time i reach for the bag of vegan chocolate chips (that i bought for baking and not for snacking!)

[bluedawg]

pick me, pick me! i'll eat them for you. ;)

[Oatmeal Girl]

Perfect! Can you be here about 20 minutes ago?

I'm pm-ing you about the potluck!
