Things I Need

...ok, "want."

1. Coupon organizer. I currently use three small envelopes in my purse. It's barely sufficient. I still have to pull over in the store and do a lot of sorting and juggling. I need one with seperate sections for type of coupon and "expiring soon."

2. GPS. Ok, I probably don't need this, but it seems fun.

3. A new knife block. My new big Sankotu knife does't fit, so I bought a new knife block today.

4. A sewing machine and lessons. I need curtains hemmed.

5. A king sized bed. Nolay's snoring bothers me MUCH less in a king sized. Unfortunately, we just purchased a queen sized frame & headboard last year. I think we need to build a platform.

What do you need?

1. I have one, want it?
2. Bought DBF one he loves it, tell Chris to get you one for Christmas.
3. Did you get one like mine? It's got kooshlike pins so any size/style knives will fit.
4. *giggle* Can you wait til Oct. for the lesson?
5.Me too. *sigh* Our bedroom isn't big enough for a King though.

I need new kitchen flooring. Really really really bad... oh and a maid.

1. I had one and I threw it away because it was too much upkeep. All that sorting and constant purging of expired coupons. Plus I hardly ever use coupons anymore.

2. I want a GPS with that option where you can lock onto someone else's cell phone and then track them all around town. That? would be way fun!

3. I want you to do the Padma Knife Dance again.

4. Curtains is the only time I miss my sewing machine, which I also gave away years ago (to my oldest DD). Then again, only 2 rooms in my house even have curtains. I'm a blinds kind of girl.

5. Buy 2 cheap twin beds, bolt the frames together, buy a new mattress and design your own headboard! Instead of a headboard I have a lovely painting on silk that is just the right size and looks fabulous hanging over the bed. Retire your Queen bed to a guest room where hordes of overnight guests will thank you.

--I need a large flat screen HD TV so I can rearrange the family room into the configuration I have been envisioning for the past few years.
--I need new carpeting in the Master Bedroom.
--And I NEED you to do the Padma Knife Dance!

1. No coupons here. I used to be a coupon junkie, and found myself buying stuff I didn't need, just to use the coupon.

2. GPS rock! I am very good with directions, but I got one when I was doing PL more, and it was a life saver many times. Now I am just lazy, which is good for me.

3. What is a Sankotu knife?

4. I have a machine. I have actually made several things on it, of which I am proud. No lessons, other than what I remember from high school. My mom was a seamstress, so maybe it rubbed off?

5. I have one, and wouldn't survive without it.

I need? Too lose weight.

You still haven't done the kitchen floor, Breezy. Jeez, get to it already.
