Happy Christmas

Lets see, 2008 has been less than productive for most of us. I am still living in Boaz and looking for a job that suits my limited and focused education. I have spent the past months volunteering from Jamaica to Hurricane evacuees in Boaz to singing in a little community choir. I am blessed to have a supportive family here and a new church family I feel I have known for years. Right now I am responsible for taxi-ing my mom back and forth to doctors' appointments and doing things around the house. The folks are well as far as I can tell, neither of them seem to look, or act, their age, but nor do I.

I used to stick these on the fridge years ago, normally involving Cindy Crawford, one of those new-fangled cellular phones and a 1983 BMW 635csi, light blue. But this year I chose to be a bit more practical. . . a bit. So without further ado, here ya go.

1. A paying job. I love volunteering but it's gettin' old.
2. I'm still on that job thing, give me a second.
3. Okay, a 1987 BMW 635csi, light blue, there were only 400 made so good luck.
4. An LG Dare, that's the iPhone for we Verizon folks.
5. Winona Ryder's hand in marriage. If you can handle this I will name my first born after you.
6. Whirled Peas.
7. Two roads diverging in a yellow wood, I'll take the other road this time, you know the one more traveled.
8. Did a mention that paying job thing? Yeah I think so.
9. A place and time to finally sing the songs I practiced for 4 months.
10. More money for the Jamaica Mission.
11. A lunch with J.D. Salinger, yes he is still living.
12. I have met Jennings and Brokaw now Mr. Rather where are you?
13. A small role on the television show Fringe.
14. A Democrat in the White House, no wait.... Yes We Did!
15. W. indicted on war crimes and an Iraq exit plan.
16. I could use a small island in the Caribbean.
17. Some fresh juice, calalou and peas and rice for breakfast. Okay I will settle for pancakes and bacon.
18. A 48 inch LCD Television.
19. A 12,000 foot mountain in my backyard on which to snowboard. (Pretty much grab Albuquerque and set is down 'bout around Sardis.)
20. A lifetime supply of Milo's sweet tea, lemon is optional.
21. My wallet from El Segundo. (If you get this, I called, all circuits are busy.)
22. A worldwide ban on Britney, Paris, et al.
23. The ability to stand still without dancing the Buttercup.
24. A place to call home.
25. Gasoline back below a buck.

Just wishes, that is all. Anything is possible. To quote a favorite duo of mine, "Deer might fly, why not, I met you."
Happy Christmas all.
