A Marketer's Dream

I saw this on All & Sundry and although I am nowhere near as gifted a writer as she is, I love the sentiment behind it. Please to play along in the comments below. We could all use some happiness, yes?

Things I've bought lately that make me so, so happy:

• Several Madonna songs. They bring me back to the 80's, a time that was good for me. (Not that it was GREAT and AWESOME and that now is not, but you know what I mean. I hope.)
• The HipStamatic App for my phone. I take way too many pics with this.
• In fact, let's just add my iPhone to this list. I love that thing more than I ever thought possible.
• The last book in the Pink Carnation Series. I finished it on my Kindle while traveling.
• New bras. I could not afford the expense, but I did it anyway. There's no lift like the lift one gets when the girls are swathed in purple floral lace and behaving exactly the way they are supposed to be behaving.
• Black and White Polka Dot Flip-Flops.
• Lime Tostitos and Guacamole.

What's new and amazing in your life that's making you happy?

Lush Soap! Now I'm eying the Godiva shampoo bar... I visit it, then close the browser. Visit it, then close the browser...

Due to my pending change of life style, I really haven't bought anything for myself so I will make a wish list:

A day at Salon 31 on 31st Street at the Beach, Yvonne, the owner, is the best; pedicure, massage, haircut, color, highlights, and a Starbuck next store, who could ask for more?

Dinner with my husband at the Forbidden City, their shrimp appetizer and spring rolls are amazing, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

After that bottle of real champagne, and an evening when I am not dog tired.

Oh, did I mention, a babysitter too.

A new car!!!! Absolutely totally can NOT afford it at all. But my transmission blew in the old one... oh well! I've moved up from a radio, and only a radio, to XM, CD, and an Ipod dock! And a sun roof!!! :)

A pair of Art shoes, which I love because they fit my wide, square-ended feet :) and have 1 1/2 inch soles, so they make me taller!

A rubber stamp of a street of quirky tall houses with spires and towers, to feed my ink-and-stamp habit.

A punnet of new season English strawberries: they taste SO much better than imported ones.

hmmm. I think your children definitely read your blog after the last comment lol.

I recently bought several new summer time t-shirts just for moi.

I love Laura Secord white chocolate as I can't eat regular chocolate due to migraines.

And oh my, dare I say it, I get such a charge out of listening to Bay City Rollers. Those fools. They give me such a chuckle.

My Nook- as if I was not already a bookworm, now I can buy books on demand & enlarge the print so I can read without my granny glasses !

Zebra stripe Aerosol flip flops w 2" heel- as 90% of my clothing is black, they match everything & are very comfy.

The latest Oxygen Mag.

New duvet cover and refinished my bedroom set. Added some candles in an arrangement with small river rock pebbles and voila! A redecorated bedroom!

An Enell sports bra. The girls are happy to jog and jump train now. (Sorry for the visual, Number One Son!--did she buy you gas yet?)

Sugar free hazelnut syrup for my coffee.

1. Tickets to Wicked
2. A couple of funky necklaces.
3. A totally cool scarf.
4. 12 weeks of water walking classes (yes the bottom of the pool is a treadmill and it is great for my very arthritic body!)

Thanks for adding the new information, as well as your analysis. This is why your blog is one of the few I read that I also ever bother to comment on. I don't do it to hear myself talk - I do it because I know you actually listen.

My iPhone. I've always had a cell phone that is just for phone calls. The iPhone is just a magical instrument that I adore.

My new pair of Teva Olowahu flip flops

Glee songs

I got my blood test results back and I do NOT have the Breast Cancer gene. Woot!

[Kelly in Canada]

I normally don't leave a comment, but I have read your blog for over two years now, and I love your humour!! Anyways, I just bought the Ab Circle Pro and it's fantastic! I have always had a hard time doing sit-ups because of a bad neck and this doesn't bother my neck at all and I can really tell it's working!!

-love love love the i pod. Working out to slightly forgotten AWESOME music.

-shelled out for a Hanro bra. In the right size no less! Every woman should have one GOOD bra.

-also shelled out for a Vita Pro 5200 Blender. Along with getting on Zoloft, this is something I should have done YEARS ago. Frappacinos and smoothies at home. I've eaten more fruit in the last month than I have in my whole LONG life.

-"Reba" on lifetime in the mornings. An undiscovered treasure of a show, on at the perfect time.

-your blog. Oh yes Carmen, I love checking in on you. Everything's gonna be OK.

Favorite things...hmmm. Real, fresh bluberries picked right off the vine. An amazing piece of watermelon. One solid hour of quiet interrupted only by windchimes. I tbink that'll do it for today.
