Hi, all! This is my second year with Holiday Wishes, and I still think this is the coolest idea floating around the internet. ^__^
My wishes:
1. I really want to get my sweetie a Playstation 3, but money is tight. So I’m wishing for Amazon gift certificates (my account name is GuiltyRed) in the hopes that I can get a lot of small ones and those will add up to let me buy something amazing.
2. A dollar. Back to item #1, I’ve wondered if enough people might send me one humble dollar hidden in a card that I could have a stab at that game system. My sweetie’s been under so much stress with school (going to college for the first time at 36 – and taking on a double major and a minor – ain’t easy!), and that’s the one thing I really want to give as a surprise for staying on the dean’s list and getting into the Gold Key Honor Society.
3. Like many people this year, I’ve been laid off from a job I loved and haven’t had much luck finding anything else (I’m in Michigan, so, yeah…). If anyone knows of a real, honest-to-goodness work from home gig that might take me on as a proof reader or editor, that would be fantastic! (Actually, ANY job-finding leads or tips would be most appreciated.)
4. Aaaand…to help facilitate my ongoing job hunt, I’d love it if a kindly elf could give me some help with my resume.
5. Gift cards: Kohl’s and PetSmart. =^.^=
6. Chocolate! Whether candy bars, hot cocoa mixes, or bonbons, I love all things chocolate (and have no food allergies to worry about), and it’s one of my life goals to try chocolates from all over the world.
7. A Pampered Chef smooth-edge can opener.
8. An anime music video set to VNV Nation’s song “Joy” using Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core footage, sort of an homage to SOLDIER.
9. Donate your old towels to your local humane society, veterinarian, or no-kill shelter. If you can, donate some time too.
10. Something to remind me that magic is real. It’s been a very hard year for my household, and I’ve been fighting depression and despair along with the sense of Just Getting Older; I need as many reminders as I can get. Whether it’s a token (a stone, a shell, a feather, a photograph) or a personal story about something extraordinary (paranormal, spiritual, uncategorizable, just plain amazing) that made you sit up and go “Whoa! It’s real!” – that’s what I’m looking for.
