so hope all is well with the elves and that they can go on a nice vacation soon

and hope they can bring me too but more on that later I have some excellent

videos they can watch on how to look taller in winter you know in their

downtime not on the clock I've been really good this year for the

most part I know I said that one word when I hurt my finger but it was a slip

sorry moving to Nashville has been the biggest change but I am looking forward

to singing tender Tennessee Christmas and maybe heading by the Opry in the

words of Eartha Kitt you know I do believe in you lets see if you

believe in me here's a few things on my wish list wish number one I want a

little downtime like turning off my phone and just having silence wish

number two at the same time I want to catch up with all my friends I haven't

seen in a while it's so much harder to do when you're an

adult except for you who's like the ultimate extrovert and you give gifts

and catch up with everyone on the annual basis wish number three I want a routine

like a time to wake up and a time to go to bed but I don't listen to myself when

I make these rules so any help from you would be welcome wish number four

I want a lovely box of chocolates like the one where you don't know what you're

biting into and it's just a magical surprise or maybe just boxed wine would

be fine too I'm not picky wish number five a dinner I don't have to make myself but

nothing that I'm allergic to as you know this year I found out I'm mildly

allergic to garlic green peas barley buckwheat corn soybeans wheat grain

almonds Brazil nuts peanuts walnuts clams eggs flounder milk oysters and

salmon

number six my wish is for dry shampoo or just eternally good hair days wish

number seven to have your gift of knowing exactly what everyone wants for

Christmas so hard to know sometimes wish number eight about that vacation I would

love to see Scotland or maybe France or even just any beach just to listen to

the sound of the ocean for a few days and not think about much else wish

number nine a set of the best linen sheets known to humans or elves

and finally wish number ten a lifetime membership to floatation therapy oh my

gosh I just started going and it's so deeply healing I wish I could do it

every day well thanks love PS Zack would like an

automatic gadget that picks his clothes up off the floor for him don't double

check with him or anything I just know that I'll love it I mean I know that he'll

love it but honestly just kidding you and I both know I'm the messy one

Dearly, Bethany
