Objects of Desire

I want to live on my own without housemates anymore. I am so sick of cleaning up after other people. :frowning:

I want a haircut. But one where no one will talk to me and I can just be silent for an hour or two. Or the ability to do it myself. But long pixies are hard.

Desired tickets to see play. Bought tickets to see play. Super excited to see Celia Pacquola, one of our favourite comedians.

ETA: this thread is having a bigger impact on me spending money in line with my values than threads meant to do that. What trickery is this?!

Ceramic keep cup. Desired. Acquired. Ostensibly for the purpose of Baby PDM enjoying Baby Chinos.
4oz size. Perfect for a piccolo.

It’s so cute :heart_eyes:

Yes!

Mr Pancakes often borrows Pikelet’s keep cup for the purposes of drinking a piccolo in the afternoon, so we “needed” a second. Just in case you need an excuse to buy a second one :wink:

It came with a free drink when I bought it…so it would have been a waste to not trial it with a piccolo (Baby PDM wasn’t with me).

I want fancy wallpaper, and it’s @Meowmalade’s fault.

@PDM we get a lot of use out of our babyccino cup. I think it’s going to become a standard present for me to give new parents.

I mean what could go wrong giving an unreliable 1 year old a cup of scalding hot milk in a breakable cup?

I wish I had Photoshop (or wasn’t at work–I have Gimp at home) so I could create graphics that demonstrate my confusion, with a woodwind instrument and a Dragon Ball Z character in your lovely ceramic cup.

Apparently a piccolo latte is an Australian mini latte.

:joy:

Thank you. (Although I assumed it is nice confirmation.)

(Also, a DBZ/woodwind mashup would be awesome.)

Yup. Sort of a mini flat white. (he says deliberately to further obfuscate).

Has anyone ever told you that your baby is super cute? Your baby is super cute.

I’m not going to lie…it does come up. I’ll be out walking him and overhear comments to that effect from passers-by. And yes, it does give me undeservedly large amount of joy. It’s all just random genetics and luck he threw harder to Mrs PDM than me. I’m also aware I’ve surrounded myself with cute things; dogs, wife, baby, small house and nice garden. It is really a boon for Facebook likes and OHMD hearts.

Those cheeks! Oh my goodness.

Ceramic Keep Cup with silicon lid for babyccinos - babyproof? Maybe. Dog proof? Definitely not. This is why we can’t have nice things.


In related news…his wooden train no longer connects together.

I guess what I’m saying is my object of desire is either better dogs or an new lid for BPBCKC (Baby PDM’s Babyccino Keep Cup)

OK now that I’ve determined my problems with blueberries (not enough time during rainy season for root growth) I am desiring lots of blueberry plants and self-watering pots.
