* In-ear headphones that will work better for my tiny ears than earbuds do. Some links below are ones I've looked at that seem like potentially good ones to try. I'm not sure which ones I'd pick; 'gu might be a good resource for advice as well. I am much more interested in customizable fit (because my regular earbuds hurt my ears) than I am in noise isolation. I have tried the cheap-o Apple ones (because they were cheap) and they're much more comfortable than regular ear buds. However, I do really need to loop the wires over my ears (because otherwise I keep pulling them out at the gym) and the Apple ones don't do very well upside down. So in a perfect world, I'd like to find some that will work in the looped-over setup.

Stuff I'd Like

In the interest of being able to look up what sort of stuff I like, here's a list. Updated sporadically.

For the extensive joy of Caryatid, I herein provide my birthday: April 23. If you forget, go ask Chadius. Or my father-in-law.

These items are more or less in order by preference:

  • A gift card to anywhere you can find that sells bras (or swimsuits) in 28E-FF. No, really. Try Europe. In fact, Bravissimo now has them.
  • A pair of lightish weight flannel pajama pants (dark colors/plaid/etc), size about a ladies medium
    • Something like this (okay, it might not be dark, but it's PURPLE.)
  • The new Capitol Steps album
  • under armour coldgear compression tights, M, black. (There might be two different types like 'frosty' and 'outdoor' or something. As long as it says "coldgear" it's good.)
  • under armour coldgear mock neck shirt, S. Neutral color (black preferably, or grey). Something like this. (Note, I am specifically looking for the compression fit and warmth.)
  • An outdoor watering can. I think I'll want at least a gallon of capacity. And the kind that "sprinkles" instead of "pours".
  • A set of free weights
    • 1lb increments up to 5lbs
    • 2.5lb increments from 5 up to about 30
  • Stands to hold the weighs and exercise balls
  • A Marathon gift card for personal training.
  • A gift card for an hour massage at Marathon (Yes, this is now a regular fixture.) You might have to call, but there's a phone number on their Contact Us page.
  • iTunes gift card
  • CD's to add to my music collection (see link for specifics.)
  • Gift cards: Home Depot, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond
  • Gift cards: Kohls, Macy's, Victoria's Secret, R.E.I. (Which one of these is not like the others?)
  • The Errorwear BSOD girly shirt in a medium (or, for bonus points, see if you can actually get in touch with them and find out whether they ever intend to get small. I sure can't.)
  • high-quality milk chocolate, plain or with hazelnut
  • PMC donations -- eGift ID CB0167. This is great for my birthday, less so around Christmas time (due to the mid-October deadline). Sadly, I will probably not participate in 2010 either due to the recent house purchase.
