I went to the Homeowner's Association Metting last night. My god, what a waste of time! First of all, it seemed the majority of people there had complaints about their neighbors rather than complaints about living in a neighborhood with a wacked out Homeowner's Association. Not to mention there was a 20 minute discussion of how our security might be inadequate and we need more police patrols since people's houses are getting t.p.-ed and egged occasionally (especially at the end of summer). Finally I couldn't restrain myself and said "Give me a break, its some teenagers with too much time on their hands, its always going to happen no matter how much security you have..." (And yes, my house has been both egged and toilet-papered once in the last 2 years). Who cares? Seriously. Don't these people have lives? Laissez-faire that's the way I want my neighborhood to be. I need to move to the country.

For those looking for Christmas gifts for moi (oh, I am SUCH a spoiled brat and feel like even more of a spoiled brat when I have to give people my Christmas list) -- I updated my Amazon.com wish list here. Of course, I might add a few more things if I get around to more shopping. This year's jewel of choice is saphire. Or 1/3 or 1/4 carat diamond earings in platinum settings -- I would prefer Canadian diamonds (or otherwise certified non-"conflict diamonds"). I could also use a dark red scarf with matching gloves and hat, more fleecey than scratchy (I really like the ones at Anne Taylor Loft). And super hurray for Aunt Mary for replacing my "inadequate" television for Christmas! And gift certificates on Continental are always useful too.
