I am a woman of simple needs.  There are only a few things I really want to find under the tree on Christmas morning… :tree

For those moments when you just don’t have time to sit down & have an entire drink.  And are also in the mood for a bite of chocolate.

Oh, who am I kidding?  I’d gulp these down like potato chips—or vodka-filled chocolate :neener —& we all know it.

(With thanks to Darling Laura J. for sharing their existence with me. Because she knows me too, too well. :cheers )

Have I mentioned that my feet get very, very cold in the winter, in both my bedroom & my office?  And that these look really, really warm?  And that I love kitty cats?  And that these are too adorable to resist?  Oh, yes, me(ow) wants them bad. :mistletoe

Screw gingerbread houses, I want a gingerbread Serenity!

I swear on my soon-to-be undead kinfolk that if someone finds one of these for me, I will actually go to the kitchen & bake honest-to-goodness homemade cookies.  I’m pretty sure the oven still works, though I may have to take the shoeboxes full of tax receipts out first.  I may even decorate them with dripping blood & rotting flesh! :letitsnow

Lest you think I’m totally selfish & my Christmas Wish List is all about me, I’ve got a couple of kittehs who look an awful lot like these two, & who would love an adorable kitteh bed like this just as much—maybe even more.  Must find!  Preferably under the tree Christmas morning, but if Santa drops the ball, I’ll just go out & look for one of my own. :effinsanta

When my hero in “Gimme Shelter” shows up on the heroine’s doorstep, she’s curled up on the couch in her pajamas, eating popcorn, watching a favorite romantic comedy.  The problem is, I can’t decide which romantic comedy she should be watching.

Going through my mental list of personal favorites, I thought…

Miss Congeniality?  Morning Glory?  Pretty Woman?  Made of Honor?  When in Rome?

There are almost too many to choose from! :prettylights

But then I got to a point where the hero sat down to finish watching the movie with her, and I wanted this to make the heroine nervous because there was a…questionable scene coming up. Maybe a hot & steamy love scene that she’d be afraid would give the hero—& herself :wink —ideas. Or something a little raunchy that would be embarrassing to watch in I-just-met-you mixed company.

The only one I could think of to fit the bill is The Ugly Truth.  The dinner scene where Katherine Heigl is wearing the “extra special” undies Gerard Butler gave her. :neener   But I’m not 100% sure that’s the movie I want to mention.

What do you guys think? Is that a good one, or do you have a few better suggestions for me?
