Monday List Mania

Things I can buy now that we no longer are in the market for a house and will not bother saving for a down payment, seeing as how the most we can ever afford in our fair city is the one bedroom-half bath house under the flight path with the cat-pee-stained turquoise shag carpet and the mildew growing in the corners.

1. I might be more inclined to try jogging if I had one of these strapped to my [toned and buff] bicep.

2. A room in this hotel. For when we go to Paris. In September. EAT YOUR HEART OUT, REAL ESTATE MARKET.

3. I need some of these in my costume box, don't you think?

4. I can totally fit this in the apartment I have now, right? Goodbye ripped-up leather couch with the cat-scratch marks! Hello beautiful comfy ginormous couch with enough room for the entire Original Thursday Night TV Gang! Now if only it came in red...

5. Plane tickets to visit Blondie. Hi Blondie! (Except not, because you can't view Typepad sites in China. Yay, censorship!) Oh, and while I'm at it, plane tickets to Paris because we don't have those yet. If anyone's keeping track, I prefer direct flights.

6. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Although the Etiquette Grrls say that on some girls, diamonds look "a trifle cold". Can't decide if I am one of those girls yet. In the meantime, these are a hell of a lot prettier than that one bed-half bath shack.

7. One day my beloved automobile will travel its last mile and then I will have to purchase one of these.

8. My husband can send this to me. But not at work. According to my co-workers, receiving flowers at work means your husband had an affair. Yeah, I don't know.  I just work with these people.

9. Also, I will need to be drowning my real estate-related sorrows with some of this.
