I got an email a week or so ago from AJ over at Thingamababy asking me (along with the other bloggers in his blog roll) to post a wish list of things they want for their kids this year (here's AJ's list). We don't really have a list for Madame, we're just letting our family decide what they'd like to give her. Except long sleeve shirts. She needs some long sleeve shirts.
Instead I've decided to post my personal wish list of things I'd like to have this year. Emphasis is most definitely on "wish."
- I'd like Costco to stop "improving" every baby product I buy from them on a regular basis. First they decided to stop carrying Pampers Cruisers and replace them with their own, crappy (sorry) "Kirkland" brand of diaper. Then they went and "improved" the baby wipes so now they stick to each other so much that every time I go to get one I get five. Goddamn Costco.
- I'd like to see some more attractive women on the TV shows Madame and I watch. Laurie Berkner always sings a happy song to dance to on Jack's Big Music Show, but why can't Heidi Klum stop by the clubhouse once in a while?
- I'd like everyone who reads this to send a package to a soldier serving overseas. You don't need to know anyone, just go to AnySoldier.com, click the "Where To Send" link and pick one of the hundreds who seem to post requests every day. Don't mix personal hygiene items with food, and don't forget to include a letter. It's really the least any of us can do.
- I'd like a gnome to pick up after the trail of destruction my daughter leaves behind. I don't need a maid, just a magical little guy to quietly put back the stacks of magazines, drawers full of Tupperware, and boxes of salt from the pantry that she leaves in her wake.
- And I'd like a new dining room table and six Eames DCW.
But the thing is, even at full-price and labels, Huggies never fit our kids right and were leaky around the leg opening. So, the Kirklands aren't a bargain.

OK. That is weird, but I can kind of see it (being in a band always increases the hotness-factor). Maybe you should buy your wife a pair of green pants.

OK. I have a confession and PLEASE don't tell my wife. I have a huge crush on Laurie Berkner. Weird huh? I think we need to cancel our subscription to Noggin.

I've never had a problem with the Kirkland diapers, they are just a clone of Huggies. I am glad they came back with their own brand of wipes again. They didn't have them for a while here and I had to use other brands that seemed way too thick and I went through them too fast. Don't they come with their own dispenser? Thats the main reason I like their wipes so much.

Check out Jen on Hi-5. You would like the kid music, and Jen is very easy on the eye. Keeps me watching...

I just wantd to thank you for posting that link for anysoldier.com. I had no idea such a thing even existed. Im from Canada but cant help but be touched by all the 'wish lists' so many simple things that I know I take for granted. I'll definitally be sending out at least one package in the next week.
thanks again.
