It started with the large French tumbler glasses at Williams-Sonoma. Loved them. When I was pregnant with Queenie I decided (during the nesting stage) that I needed, NEEDED a matching set of the juice glasses. My child could not possibly be born or come to live with us, without them. 6 years later, and now I've been lusting for the medium size. The big ones are too big for Queenie and her sister, and the little ones are too small for dinner milk. I'm trying to rid my world of as much plastic as possible, and would love to replace the girls' silly plastic but much loved cups with something nice and respectable, healthy, and almost impossible to break. So, if I won this little gift card, that is what I would buy. And probably some more bowls, with whatever was left over. And chocolate. And some baking sheets and some table napkins and I really need some new knives (how I lost my favorite paring knife I will never know). And...see?...this is why I stopped going in there years ago. Williams-Sonoma is a weakness. A weakness I tell you!

My new home

  • Mar 30, 2007

We have to move. Not next week or anything, but we've been given notice that our building is to be turned into condos. We probably have about a year. I'm hoping to hang on as long as possible for some relocation coin. Til then, I'm starting a wish list for the Universe to do a little apartment/house shopping for us. The new place will be/ have:

  • light-filled, airy
  • safe, kid-friendly
  • clean, pretty, my taste, freshly painted
  • friendly neighbors who like kids, ideally some will have appropriate playmates for my kids
  • affordable
  • good school district (if we need it)
  • helpful, nice landlord/building manager
  • hardwood floors - little to no carpet - allergy-friendly
  • big bedrooms
  • 2 baths
  • washer dryer convenient (or in house)
  • bigger kitchen
  • abundant storage / closets
  • Yard: grassy, playable, kept up, with a little garden, trees
  • 3 bedroom or 2+
  • A/C
  • dishwasher / garbage disposal
  • quiet
  • pets allowed
  • pool
  • high ceilings
  • window treatments I like
  • convenient shopping, park (safe, fun) and close to our schools, work, markets, friends
  • parking
  • breezy
  • free of bug infestation problems
  • Not on a busy parking alley
  • Without a steady stream of early am garbage trucks
  • No gangs

I trust the place best for us will show up at the right time.

Thanks, Universe!
