Cigars and Wishlists
Posted in Romance on December 11th, 2008 by Cynthia Eden
Hi, everyone! Today, I’m guest blogging over at Love is an Exploding Cigar (don’t you love that name?), and I’m giving away an autographed copy of MIDNIGHT SINS to one commenter. If you get a chance, come on by for your chance to win! My topic…pleasures. Yep–that’s all the info you get. You’ll have to check out the post for more details!
And now…for fun, let’s talk wishlists. In the past, I’ve driven my husband crazy during the holidays because I haven’t told him what I want for Christmas. Yes, I am one of those tricky women–I think the guy should just know and then I get grumpy when his “knowing” doesn’t translate into the gift I want. But I am trying to be better this year. Really. 🙂
So, I’ve given a lot of thought to my wishlist and I figured, hey, why not post? I’ll post mine, you can post yours–and we’ll just see what all we want from Santa. Not that Santa will necessarily bring all of these goodies, but…
Here’s my list anyway:
(Oh, and a quick note. I do, of course, want world peace and happiness for everyone–just like Steve Martin said in his holiday skit, but this list, it’s gonna be all greedy me…)
1. Bookstore gift card. This one is obvious. And I do beg the hubby every year to tell him mother to get me this. There are SO many great books coming out at the end of the year/early new year. Christine Feehan has a new one, Jayne Ann Krentz does, Kresley Cole does. Help a reading addict out–give me a gift card, Santa!
2. Books. A walk down the Barnes & Noble bargain books aisle recently revealed a good dozen paranormal research books I’d love to have. Or, hey, just stroll down the romance aisle. Not like you could go wrong with those.
3. An Alpha Smart. Yeah, I said it. I want an Alpha. I have this idea that I can squeeze more writing time out of my day. If I take that Alpha with me, suddenly my empty moments will be filled. Portable, a fantastic battery life–come on, I could use this, Santa!!!
4. Supernatural, Seasons 1-3. Because, um, I missed these seasons, even though I love the paranormal. I was so late to this boat and I wanna catch up on what I missed!
That’s my list. Now tell me yours!
Update: Just had to post this YouTube clip/soundtrack of Steve Martin. I really love this bit!
