Dear Santa

I'm starting my Christmas list early this year.  Last year you arrived rather late and the lab had been outside for hours awaiting her Christmas treats.




This year I would like:

1. Congress to pass the Dream Act and repeal DADT now.  This session, before they adjourn for the holidays.
2. My milk glass compote to remain magically full of thin skinned, juicy clementines.  Preferably the Darling brand.
3. Our troops out of Afghanistan.
4. The money pledged to Haiti to arrive in Haiti.  And someone of moral fortitude to get the aid to the people.  
5. A mani-pedi and all the glitter out of my hair and eyelashes.  Floral designer, grubby yet glamorous.
6. The hallway painting project finished ( this wish looks like it might be granted soon, very soon)
7. One more warm sunny Sunday so I can finish, or do, my fall garden clean up.  60's please.
8. GG to do well on her finals. ( probably do better if she could stop painting and start studying)
9. Enough strength and creativity and coffee to get through this Christmas season. 
10. Peace on earth.
11. And maybe just one more good year where I don't  look my age yet.

Another reason to get to our house early: remember how ticked off the cat was when you woke her up?

Thank you Santa and GG, hallway project over, done, finished, beautiful.  O night, O night divine.
