1. A digital camera that captures the kids indoors without a flash and while they move — my current one just blurs everything unless they’re still as a still painting — funny, right?

2. Flip video

3. The right phone/PDA/QWERTY. I’ve spent way too much time researching and being indecisive.

Hi!

I want:
1) flowers and chocolate from my husband
2) homemade cards from my little ones
3) lots of extra time to finish my 2 books, current project, and update my blogs!!!

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH. I bet I don’t even get the flowers or chocolate from hubby because he can’t remember holidays (actually me neither). But I KNOW I’ll get the cards from my boys–that stuff makes life worth living:)

Hmmm…the perfect Mother’s Day gift…

In no particular order -

1. Time to myself at home
2. Shopping and lunch with a girlfriend
3. Ticket to BlogHer
4. Virtual Assistant for a month
5. Maid Service
6. Gift card to Nordstrom, NY & Company, or Dress Barn
7. Donation to WorldVision
8. Family photos

Oh, and I could always use a new package of Pilot G-2’s. Those pens are the BEST (thanks for the reminder, Eliza!).

I never really considered Mother’s Day a present situation but my husband brought it up recently suggesting I could use a hand held tape recorder for capturing ideas right when they occur to me. Not a bad idea. I lose more ideas or perfect paragraphs in the grocery store or when I am driving than I care to count.

I don’t really need anything, but wouldn’t mind a new yoga outfit from Lululemon:)

Ooo! I love these kinds of questions.

Well, the writer in me would like:

a portable tape recorder so I can capture the ideas that come to me while sitting in Chicago traffic.

a chair mat to help my desk chair roll smoothly

I’d LOVE to get a reserved copy of the new book by Wendy Burt on writing query letters

a subscription to WritersMarket.com

a subscription to The Writer Magazine

Magazine organizer to hold all my sample issues

The nonwriter needs:
Soap and lotion from Bath & Bodyworks (my fav: Black Currant Vanilla!)

Set of hand weights. (no, typng at a keyboard all day does not do your triceps good!)

A professional massage would be heaven!

OK, now please foward this to my husband…
