Whoohoo! It’s Friday!

Dear Santa Claus, Jesus, the Easter Bunny and the Birthday Fairy,

What I really want in the whole wide world is an MP3 Player. I’d adore an IPod but I’d be happy with this little guy, which has gotten decent reviews. I have been very very good this year. In September I quit smoking. And even though I cheated on the night of my wedding, I still quit the pack-a-day habit. I joined a gym and I go all the time. All the time, Santa! And even though they told me my cholesterol was up last August, I’ll just bet I’ve gotten it down some since that last physical.

My diet has improved dramatically (by the way, Jesus, I could use a little help in the motivation department when it comes to cheese), and even though I haven’t lost a ton of weight, my heart is healthier than it’s been in ages, I’m stronger now and my lungs are clear. I even made an appointment to go see the dentist!

I’ve mostly been nice to people (I’m sorry I made fun of the people who post their pictures in the “Non-ugly Fats” community at Live Journal, but really, don’t you think they asked for it?) and I’ve been generous and thrifty with my time and money.

Which is why I’m sending you guys this letter. Tanya says that all of our extra money has to go to the tax people this year, so I really should be good and not go get myself an IPod, because the people at Apple make everything too damn expensive in the first place.

But BUT! I didn’t get the Tivo or the PDA or the Camera Phone and I haven’t even bought Season Three of Buffy the Vampire Slayer yet. So please Santa Clause, Jesus, Easter Bunny and Birthday Fairy, I’ve been very very good this year! All I really want in this whole wide world is an MP3 Player. And Peace, for sure, Peace.

P.S. Tanya is not a meany. She would let me buy the MP3 Player if I just absolutely had to HAD TO have it but I’d feel guilty cuz she’s socking every last penny into savings and didn’t even want to go to the eye doctor because it costs money. So I shouldn’t even be thinking about IPods and stuff. It’s just that, uh, I NEEEEED ONE! Shutup, I do.
