9 things I covet, or, oh hey is it Christmas time already?
Monday, November 17, 2008 at 7:46AM What? This isn't an entirely self-serving list. How else are you going to know what to buy all the OTHER artsy, comic-obsessed, gaming nerd moms on your list?
1. The Bose SoundDock for iPods: Okay, really I just need some KIND of speaker for my iPod. But if I'm coveting, I should go all out, right? I'm tired of having all these really great songs on my iPod and only listening to them at the gym. I should be able to belt them out in my living room and assault my son's ears serenade my entire neighbourhood!
2. I love my Wacom Bamboo pen tablet, but what I really really want is the Cintiq. To be able to draw right on the screen? Droooooool.
Or, y'know, paper works like that too. But not quite as fun.
3. A laptop bag like this one from glorydaze on etsy, or the lapsac. Or anything like that, that doesn't make me look like I inherited my father's industrial black vinyl laptop bag. If it could double as a cute diaper bag, that would rock even further. I just want to look cool as I take out my laptop, and then take out a sippy cup and a baggie of cheerios. Is that so much to ask??
4. Comments. Lots and lots of comments. Seriously, people, I'm barely holding it together here and comments are the glue.
5. A huge wall decal of zombies. Okay, no, not really. We've been over my fear of zombies. But if I wasn't completely askeered of the living dead, I would think it was pretty cool.
Maybe in the baby's room.
6. A new bathrobe, to replace the one I bought on sale 5 years ago at a La Senza outlet, on sale because it was missing the sash. The one that two years ago, the dog chewed the pockets out of because she thought she smelled a molecule of dog biscuit (and I've been forgetting and trying to put things in the pockets that no longer exist ever since). Do you think she would refrain from chewing a new one if I bought her her own?
7. Two words: SPA. DAY.
8. This hoodie from thinkgeek.com. I know, I'm a loser. I just really REALLY want to wear it to work one day. Or possibly every day. I used to have the t-shirt but, uh....it doesn't fit anymore.
9. The Wii Fit. Well, I've been coveting one of these for a while, they're just elusive round these parts. Must be shy. If I find one, it's automatically an early Christmas present to ME.
What do YOU covet?

ah. the wii fit.
i'm begging my dad for one of those too. my husband would never agree.
then again...i have a job. hmmm...
now i have to find one!
I covet HASAYers who stick to the game and exercise. I covet them doing this while I eat cheeseburgers and secretly mock their motivated selves. Those laptop bags are coolio. Mine is cool too, I had to splurge when I got my laptop.
I am with you on everything but the zombie decal wall. Unless you put it in the dining room. Anywhere else in the house, it says, "Ooh, look who likes movies?" In the dining room, it would be perfection. Depending on the rest of the decor.
Love the lapsac!
I'm with you on the Spa Day and the Wii Fit!
Seriously, a hoodie? Is that supposed to be some kind of test?
We bought a wii when they first came out and sold it a few months later because there weren't many games out and we thought it was stupid. But now I regret it so bad.
Comments are the best thing ever. Without them, it's like a day without sunshine (or wine!).
I think the hoodie is awesome! Sometimes the simpler gift are the best. (Although I secretly think the spa day is the best.)
I covet the 535i xDrive BMW Sports Wagon in cherry red. I don't have it yet but I know someone will send me one. I just know it! (Ok, I'm full of shit.)
I love your list! I made a list on Wishpot for my husband to consult, and you've reminded me that I need to do some editing. :)
I'm all over #8. STFU, priceless. ThinkGeek now on my favorites. I bred geek children so you have just made my Christmas shopping easy.
You're the best!
I've been eyeing the Wii fit as well. But, if I got it, I'd actually have to work out on it, right? And, pfft to that. I'd also have to remain unpregnant long enough to use it, and that seems unlikely at this point.
