I just realized Christmas Eve is 3 weeks from today. THREE FREAKING WEEKS! I dont have one single gift for anyone yet - nor do I even know what I am getting people. To be honest, I dont even know WHO I am buying gifts for! Regardless, my mom found a way to slip her *wish list* in my purse the other morning. Such a diva.
I on the other hand, just now decided what I want for Christmas. So Santa, I hope your listening...
1. Membership to American Counseling Association paid for. Yeah I said it. My dues please. Approx $91. Oh what the heck - throw in my renewal membership to American School Counselor Association which expires in January.
2. Textbooks for next semester.
3. Resources/books for my cute little bookcase Ill hopefully have in my office when I get my big girl job this year.
4. Fancy little zip up notebook carryer thing. I don't know. Basically I want to look professional when I carry my papers covered in my chicken scratch.
5. A thesaurus. Cough, cough - Santa please tell SAMMY thats her job...
We all know I need to expand my vocabulary. I dont want to spend my life writing college letters of recommendation writing the same three words... "hardworking, dedicated, and driven".
6. A gas card. Work, internship and classes? My gas tank and bank account currently despise me.
7. A mini fridge for my CAR. Im living in it. Be nice to be able to have a meal in the process.
8. Starbucks card. My current life line.
9. A car wash. I spend so much time in the darn thing I might as well get the gigantic red writing "187" cleaned off my windows...
10. and Time. I want more time. I want time to ENJOY such a wonderful time of year. I want to be able to look at Christmas lights and listen to Christmas music. Not sleeping in my car from one job to the next.
So you listen up Santa! Press pause. Or give me a huge snow day so I can sit at home in my Redskins pjs and enjoy the moment.
