My Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

This year I have been a very, very good girl.  In light of how good I've been could you please see fit to give me the following:

• 1 day from work to do nothing but read and reply to e-mails that have backed up since September
• 1 day from work to finish my Christmas shopping/crafting
• 1 day from work to decorate for the holidays and then later an additional day to un-decorate
• 1 day from work to read blogs and catch up on the lives of my blogging friends
• 1 day from work to edit the images from my latest photo shoot and the pictures I took at Sunday's Christmas party
• 1 day from work to clean the house from top to bottom, including the closets
• 1 day from work to organize the garage
• 1 day from work to do all my favorite things--reading in bed, soaking in the tub, watching Chocolat (and while you're at it you can bring me a DVD of that movie because my VHS just broke), morning tea at Sugar Brown's, lunch at Stein's, and a matinee of a recently released movie, preferably Sweeney Todd, and enjoying my favorite key lime pie from Zookini's
• 1 day from work to do all the little things I need to do like mailing Liz the package I have for her which includes her Foo Fighters cd I promised, writing a Thank You note to Stacey for her generous gift, taking the recycling to the recycling center, folding and putting up the clean laundry that has built up in both the laundry room and my bedroom before T decides to kick me out of the house and I would really prefer not to be homeless right now
• 1 day from work to spend with the B-Dog doing all his favorite things because it seems every time we plan some time together my agenda always gets in the way
• 1 day from work to be totally and completely alone
• 1 day from work to do nothing but sleep for as long as I want
• 1 day from work to recover from all this doing

That's a grand total of 13 days from work just to get caught up on life and do a little enjoying of life.  If you'd like to make it a nice round number you could give me 15 days (a totaly of 3 weeks) and I could spend the additional two days hanging out with my bestest friend because she deserves a couple days from work as well.  Surely you can manage this Santa.  And I promise I'd be ever so grateful.

Love,

me

I LOVE how you laid this out-- may it come TRUE!!!

[ceanandjen]

I am SO right there with you...I just lost two weeks on being sick and I have no idea where to begin...so I am just kinda not worrying about it? Um, oh well...I figure that as long as Xmas is nice for Ayden, all bases are truly covered.

Three weeks sounds like absolute heaven. I hope that Santa grants you a few days...at least! xoxoxo

girlie! take some time off! do you watch 30 rock? do you remember the episode where the baldwin guy sees his life flash before his eyes and says, *i wish i'd worked more*? this is NOT what you want! i'm bet you could take 2 days off and get all of the really important things checked off that list. and you would feel SOOO much better. i promise.

hoping you get your wishes!

[schmoops]

the gift of time! the best gift ever... i hope santa is good to you.

and please don't worry about sending me a thank you card. as long as i know it made it to you and you are enjoying, that is all i need. it was a pleasure to do that for you. so go ahead and scratch that right off your list. i insist!

xoxo

If I was Santa i'd give you a whole year off just to do whatever you want, and you'd still get paid :)

[megg]

Maybe if I asked Santa for a week and some cash I could come and play with you for awhile. We could use some craftin and hanging' time!!

I missed you my friend.

love to you!!

If I had a magic wand I'd give you an extra 5 days simply for being so good. Hope you find some *me* time during all the busyness.
