This is kinda frivolous, kinda serious...
Wheelie shoes. I think I won't break my neck with them, or even sprain my ankle as I did the first time I tried roller skates. And I want to wear them at work.
Manga. Lots of manga, including some that's published only in Japanese.
Silk, lace- and ribbon-trimmed lingerie of all kinds, in lilac and pink and midnight blue, that makes me look 15 lbs. thinner.
Ivan to not wake me up at 4 am. And 4:45, 5 am, 5:25... By walking on me, of course.
Top-to-bottom apartment cleaning by someone else.
Time off to file or ditch old papers, send stuff we don't need to the appropriate charities (Goodwill, Chesapeake Computer Users Group, etc.) and do some scrapbooking.
Update, Oct. 8:
We went to the Green Festival yesterday and talked and shopped with about 1/4 of the vendors. Small Meadow Press had the most beautiful papergoods. I love the Book Leaves (under "All in Order" in The Shop) and am debating what I want printed on my Name Cards--I like the Lucy Maud Montgomery one with the roses the best.
Also, there's a story that goes with this... Lesley Austin, who runs Small Meadow Press, said "I know you" but wasn't sure where from. We ran through the usual (the libraries I've worked at, New Jersey--nope, she was from Virginia) and then finally something clicked. I asked if she was a Quaker, and she is! Turns out we'd met last winter at the Women's Retreat.
Yes, more!
"Ain't Never Been Plugged," the new cd by Mike Agranoff. This includes "The Dream" (which I'm sure is the infamous song that Amy L. introduced to the Folk Project; Hands on the Switch/The Explorer, which I have fond memories of hearing at his old concerts; "The Water is Wide;" and a parody by Mike called "The Water is Weird" (I can only imagine so I must have it.)

Yum. How was Festival?
Cool! We did just the vendors, though we did see a group of kids, teens and adults from "Roots and Shoots" (an ecology education group founded by Jane Goodall) start off with a peace parade, holding poles with giant doves.
We bought raw honey (yummm!) fair trade chocolate, a shirt for each of us and talked with a lot of vendors and learned a lot. There were lots of cute babies too!
