I Want Wednesday - What I'll Settle For This Christmas...

As I reflect back through my "I Want Wednesday Posts of 2009", I realized that I've obviously been aiming too high. I've wanted much, but haven't received a damn thing on my lists.

So in order to not be disappointed at Christmas, I'm revising the lists - from "I Want" to "I'll Settle For". The way I figure it, Santa can't possibly argue with my reasoning (compromise)...

I Wanted...
D&G Sunglasses

But, I'll Settle For...

A Pair of Oakley's (P.S. They are on sale.)

I Wanted...
D&G Boots

But, I'll Settle For...

Hush Puppy Boots

I Wanted...

Rolex Watch

But, I'll Settle For...

Timex Watch

I Wanted...
Tiffany Emerald Ring

But, I'm NOT settling on this one. I want this ring damnit!

@Gavin - I agree. I won't compromise my morals on this one.

@JW - Unless Santa wins the lottery, I suspect the ring won't be under the tree this year, but a girl can still hope.

@Christiejolu - Rest assured, I'm not settling for anything less than that ring. It might have to wait a year or two or ten, but I will have it.

@Brian - I suspect the Timex will be in my future because they sell it at Wal-Mart. LOL!

Last Christmas I bought MYSELF the boots. Not D&G, but pretty nice ones on sale! They make me feel like a million bucks! Sometimes you have to be your own Santa.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
