I just want to say first that I think this is a great community idea.

My wishes:

1. More time! Seriously, I have about 193652 projects I am working on and not enough time! It's hard to go to school full-time, work, and have hobbies! :D

2. To have lost 75 lbs by my wedding. I've lost 10 already...only 9 months left *squirm* :/

3. Recipies! I have recently learned that I can cook okay. I am gathering and trying out new recipies, and I'd love some that don't involve campbell's soup :D

4. A chick or rabbit.

5. Starbucks :D

6. Some faithful blog fans :D I only use my LJ for my icons, my real blog is on my site, and I don't really have many visitors. :/ I guess I'm not very interesting...but...I try :D

7. A DSL/TV company that is NOT SBC!

8. To be rid of my old texts.

9. New sheets and blankies! We got our last sets from linens and things, but teh kitten has torn them apart.

10. A little bitty help (perhaps via paypal?) to keep my site running. I have a lot of websites, and I love them ALL, but they do use time, energy, electricity... :D

My email is jesirose@gmail.com, if anyone wants to email me greetings!
Happy Holidays everyone!!

For #3, check out the recipes section of my memories. (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=cuddled&keyword=Recipes&filter=all) It's got some of my favorites that I've found here on LJ. :)
And as for 7...Comcast is very good. They're a little bit expensive, but they're reliable and good and just yay.

[jesirose.livejournal.com]

Ah, I should have explained that SBC paid off our apartment complex, and comcast isn't allowed to service us. We used to use Comcast. let me see if I can dig up my bad_service posts on SBC :D

There's a lot, but basically, we're forced to use them. I was just wishful thinking.

Thanks for the recipes :D

Wish #3 I can definitely help with. I can e-mail you a whole bunch of recipies. Right now there's 43 in the .zip file but I can add more (and I collect relatively easy to make recipies, so for someone still learning it's not super-complicated stuff but it still tastes good). I'll add more and sen the file off ASAP.

Oh! And I will also go check out your blog.

BTW? I love your icon...

[jesirose.livejournal.com]

Thank you I got the file :D My blog has lots of House icons in the goodies section :D

lol once i find my recipes websites (which means when it's not 4am and i'm sober when reading this again) i will definately send them to you... although i do know lots about cooking off of cambpells soup labels... although i started to outgrow then and started using the recipes off of the shake and bake box, and also the back of my minute rice box... which by the way had fairly decent recipes... but they involved campbells soup... so it wasn't much of a stretch... but i'm learning too!!!!

[neonrose5.livejournal.com]
