I think most of us want one, but few of us can get one 'cause we're not in the priority groups. I waited and waited, and then I ended up getting the flu, and I know I'm far from the only one. But since they're not testing to see what kind of flu you have, I can't be 100 percent sure that what I had was or wasn't H1N1, so I'll probably get the shot anyway, whenever they get around to allowing me to.
I'm having the same problem. Smaller stuff, I'll probably just buy myself -- as it is, I'm a good bargain shopper, so I can probably find whatever it is for less than someone else would've spent to buy it for me. Clothes, I could use but would rather pick out my own. I just can't come up with much for a list.
I've been one of those grumblers, but I have to admit that yesterday, out in the stores with Xmas carols playing (not pop ones, either, but music-box-type renditions of the old classics), I got sucked in and started my holiday shopping. I hate infringing on Turkey Day, but then again, there ARE only a few weeks until present time.
The parking's not a problem if you get there early... REALLY early. I might go if I see a really good deal on something I need, but as of now, I don't.
I think the problem is that there are always more good books being written, but there's only so much time in a school year. No, I didn't read Twain in college -- I read it in high school. As long as at least a smattering of the classics get in there somewhere in high school, it's about the best we can do, I think. (Not that you shouldn't try to get some in in college, too -- but would you have us not read Toni Morrison, simply because she's more contemporary?)
I'd say going to a party, but this is actually the first year since I was a kid that I've been able to go to one. Seeing others in their costumes is fun, too, though, including little trick-or-treaters. :)
Most importantly, VOTE. Voting is one of the only times you get a direct say over your government. Study up on the candidates, make an informed decision and vote for whoever you think is best.
