Remember circling all the things you wanted in a Sears catalog and getting none of it?But you knew you probably wouldn’t get it so you just got the rush from circling?

It’s the time of year when people ask me what I want for Christmas and I’m torn between stufffff and telling people to give the money to good things instead because if I really want that quilting book? I can buy it. Super lucky to have a job. So.

@ruth I went to target last week, got a toy catalog, took it to lunch with a coworker and a former coworker, and ignored them for half an hour while I circled all the cool toys. One of them asked me what I was doing, and I responded “circling the good stuff, that’s what they’re for.” He didn’t understand, but I’m glad you do.

@ruth Mine was just turning the pages. (Apart from the rather more astringent memory of our parents telling me, if I expressed interest in something like, say, the fairy princess costume, that "NO, we are NOT GETTING THAT.") And seeing all the stuffffffff! I also started to encounter the world beyond kids' toys, like the hardware. My interest in that bemused the parents.

@ruth ask for the book and donate to money you would have spent?
