Here is my official "anytime-of-the-year-I-will-surely-be-pleased-to-receive-any-of-these-things" list:
-I'm a huge fan of NPR,(Joe teases me relentlessly) and from their shop I like this book, this CD, or this book. And, who doesn't need this collectible ornament to adorn their tree? I don't even care that it says 2003 on it - that's why it's on clearance!
- Mandee was telling me that she's reading Anne of Green Gables (probably my favorite books EVER) and I was thinking it would be nice to own books 4-6 (Windy Poplars-Ingleside) as I received the first three when I was a little girl.
-I think this Calendar is so cool. Made from Polaroid pictures, it is beautiful and simple and I love it. My little picture doesn't do it justice - go see it on the website.
- I only own one pair of jeans at a time and I wear them until I get holes. I think it might be wise to invest in a second pair, so a gift card to GAP is always appreciated.- My friend told me my wallet looks like her mom's...ouch. Either of these would be suitable replacements:
- In order to refine my photography skills I am always looking at books/magazines for inspiration. The following are some awesome resources:
A subscription to PDN magazine
This super cute photo book
A recent photography annual from Communication Arts
An issue of Lines and Shapes
- I think this print (featured above) is so beautiful.- Now that I cut my hair short, I should probably wear more earrings. Here are some styles I like, courtesy of Etsy:
- I'd be lying if I said I didn't dream about this lens at night, but for a gift like that Santa would need some mighty deep pockets.- Return to Me is quite possibly my favorite movie ever. Make fun all you want, but I stand by the argument that this film has it all.
- If none of the above items strike your gift giving fancy, there are always the standby options: loads of cash, cruise to Greece, entirely new wardrobe, or a 1965 Corvaire - any of these options are acceptable.
Whew, that's a lot of wishing...it wears me out. Just let it be said that if I receive a journal I am highly insulted. Journaling is great, but it is obvious the person knows nothing about me. I have about five unused journals sitting on my bookshelf. It's totally the standby gift for every young woman.
Carl and Becca: I am begging you to post a list on the blog. For your own sakes. Joe thinks he knows the perfect gift for each of you - BYU sweatshirts. Need I say more?

This is great! By the way, I've been looking into the 1.2 and the 1.4 and a lot of people like the 1.4 better. It seems that the 1.2 has back focusing issues, though it IS sharper at around 1.8-2.5 (or somewhere around there). So if you know you can't afford the 1.2 in the next few months but could possible get the 1.4 I'd say go for it. I'm still researching, but i very well may be going for the 1.4 too! Good luck with your wishlist. I asked for a bathrobe and donations to charity, lol.
