NICE Assignment: Write a Letter to Santa

Hi everyone! Well, I've been keeping up with my blog posts. I did miss one on Saturday because I had three events to attend that day which had me out of the house from 10:30 am until 2:30 am the next morning. But I made up for it with an extra on Sunday. I'm determined!

I thought this assignment from last year was really a lot of fun, so I'm recycling it.

Today's Assignment: Write a Letter to Santa

I could really just copy and paste most of my list from last year because those things I've asked for still ring true. Although I did get Rock Band 2 and a nightstand! Two of them, in fact! But here's my new list for this year.

Dear Santa,

How's it going? I'm sure you're swamped, what with the holidays quickly approaching. Hopefully you'll have some time to review my list and consider making all my holiday dreams come true! Like I mentioned last year, the all-important stuff like world peace are a given. If you could get that done, I'd be greatly appreciative. But there are a few extra things I'd like.

1. Willpower — I don't even have enough willpower to remember to take a vitamin everyday. So when it comes to anything requiring routine, I tend to slip up. I bought that Cardio Funk work out DVD (hehe) and I'd love to actually have the determination to use it. So if you could spare a little, that'd be helpful!


2. Health — I know this actually starts with me, but I have the worst health habits, and I need to fix that. Perhaps this goes along with willpower, but I need the motivation specifically to change up my diet. Big Macs are not my friend!


3. A birthday party — I turn 30 this year, and I'd love it if I could have a get together with my friends.


4. A great job for my dad — He's been out of work for quite a while now. My mom, in particular, is stressed out about the situation, and I want them to be comfortable and worry-free. I know the economy isn't doing so great, but my dad is the smartest, most-hardworking guy I know.


5. A Pavement concert — They reunited to do four shows in NYC, but I'm hoping they tour so I can see them in Philly!


6. A winning basketball season for Rob — Coaching middle school girls' basketball has been a ton of fun for Rob. He cares about his team so much, and I know he really wants them to succeed.


7. A finished sketchbook — Obviously I gave up on my 160 Pages, but I'd like to try it out again this January. So if I could have a little bit of inspiration so I could fill a sketchbook, that'd be awesome!


8. Another full year of Operation NICE — I've been so lucky to have this blog, and I want to continue it for many years to come. Just help me get through the next one!


9. A clear vision — I'm nearly 30 and I don't know what I want to do with my life. A little insight would be great.

Well, I guess that's about it. Oh, and since you were so kind as to bring me Rock Band 2 last year, how about DJ Hero this year?

Thanks so much, Santa!
Melissa

So, do you think Santa reads my blog?? I hope so!
