aggie96 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I would love an all-over garage shop vac system. I priced them. I won't be getting one anytime soon. DH and I make many things from wood in our garage. We have accumulated many cool toys (tools). :) But darn that saw dust! I hate the saw dust that gets tracked EVERYWHERE! Seriously, I would be sooooooo happy to have an all-over shop vac system show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 A saxophone I would HAPPILY send you James Bond's for free, but he might kill me. He's played side he was in high school, and is quite good, but it's so loud. He doesn't know how to play softly. Well, he does, he just doesn't want to. Han Solo gets incredibly upset when he plays. HS puts his hands over his ears and yells "No, Daddy! No samaphone! No samaphone! I no like!" It's pretty funny to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Didnt think of that. Definitely to be with family...including dh, who won't be able to get home for Christmas. :( He is working 1500 miles from here, trying to save up for us to all move there. Between unexpected bills and not being able to afford the time off, he wont be making the trip back here. :( :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Impossible, but... I'd love one more Christmas with my little sis. She was killed six years ago in a car accident. She was only 19, and she LOVED Christmastime. Plus, she never got to meet ds, and dd doesn't remember her. Otherwise, I'll take a new house. We had plans drawn up for a little cottage awhile back, but our land deal fell through, and then dh was laid off, and, well, you know how it goes. I don't want anything fancy, but right now our bedroom is in the basement (which I've not-so-lovingly dubbed "the dungeon") -- it's finished and all, but it's still a basement. I can't wait to get out of there. Oh, and wrap me up one of those Disney cruises while you're at it... :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Umm nothing impractical. I only want things that have a use. My main wish is to have all our home repairs to be complete by someone else.

tabinfl Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Add me to the horse list. Plus fencing for the rest of the pasture, and someone to clean out the barn for me. The renovation we've been planning for the "old" side of the house. Something needs to be done before it falls apart any further, but the extent of our plans is a bit on the extravagant side (like the entire 2nd story, which would give me a giant multi-purpose room, and FINALLY connecting the house to the garage). A 5 year old. lol I've been around lots of littles lately, and wow, do I miss that age. I have one you could borrow who might cure you of that. Stay away from my 6yos, though, they're finally becoming human! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 An iPad... ...which is impractical b/c my computer just died and we're having to buy me a new home computer. So the iPad is WAYYY back-burner right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Cool! You can play some sweet jazz for me in the TARDIS I won't be getting. ;) OMG!! A Christmas miracle. (jumps for joy - waves hi) And it would be years before my jazz would be considered sweet. You could come over and jam with me, in your TARDIS. My neighbor has drums, it would be block jam. So if you get the TARDIS, can I get a replicator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not impractical - but I would also like two front teeth, no not kidding. I broke mine out as a kid and they need to be redone.

Luckymama Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I would like to remodel our master bathroom to include a really deep tub. With jets. And a place for my glass of wine. Our old house had a deeper-than-usual tub/shower combo. I took a bubble bath every single Friday night. I miss that (it's been seven years!). We just have a shower now. The bathroom remodel is on the list "after the kids are out of college." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maela Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 A weekend off. 48 hours of being totally, 100%, completely un-responsible for anyone or anything other than my own needs and wants. I mean I don't even want someone to ask me to hand them a tissue, find the remote, or pass the salt. :001_tt2: The only way I would get that is for me to go to a hotel, which is completely not practical nor probable. Time! Time to study those languages, perfect those instruments, read, write, draw, and all the other things I used to think I'd get to someday. Time to take a walk around the block every day as a work break. Time to take more than a 5 minute shower every day. Time to get organized. Time for a massage. Time to get everything done and still enjoy my kids and my life. Ha! Dreaming - the next best thing to doing.... These are my top ones! Also, lots of money to buy clothes and a tailor to make them fit perfectly! A trip around the world. Hmm...maybe this one should be first.

Night Elf Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 A Keurig. I'm actually in need of a new coffee maker. I need a small one, maybe 4-cup, with an auto shutoff feature. I love the idea of a single cup machine but DH thinks a price of over $20 for a coffee maker is ridiculous, so I most certainly don't expect him to research and find me one. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house which is why it's not a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 :lol: I swear DH is a better mom than I am (which sounds good in theory, but in reality is a double-edged sword). This is definitely true in my house. We have a running joke that the kids like him better. He already cooks dinner every night, will do baths, and takes them to visit his mother about once a month so I have a little kid free house. Of course, I usually spend them cleaning. Permanent laser hair removal forever. Oh YEAH!! Of course, I"m extremely lazy about shaving, especially this time of year, but to never have to worry about it again would be heaven. I look stubbly five minutes after shaving. -more books -a new house - we were just weeks from breaking ground for our new modular home when dh found out he was getting laid off two years ago.

We were almost 10 years apart, so I remember everything about her life. Sometimes I have dreams about dd, but when I wake up, I realize it was really my sis as a kid and not dd.
