Just an update that nobody will take notice of...

[conuly]

Birthdays are coming in May. So, in case anybody gets a windfall (*laughs*) and doesn't have anybody else to spend it on...

One wishlist for toys.
One for books. Focus on picture books, please.

And, as always, I am more than willing to beg for accept used toys and books which were enjoyed but which now sit and wait to be loved again. Even if you don't want to send them my way, please consider donating them to a reputable charity - a program which gives them to poor schools and children, or hospitals, or libraries.

This has been a blatant beg. You won't see another until the beginning of May. Promise.

Edit: That said, considering the sheer number of items on my wishlist, I really wish I could rank them on a scale of 1-10 instead of just 1-5.

Do you know the history of the word 'windfall'? It's pretty interesting.

Go ahead, digame.

It used to be illegal in England, to cut down trees, or break off live branches. The only way the poor people could have wood to burn, was by collecting dead branches that were already on the ground. When a tree fell in a windstorm, whoever found it, had plenty of firewood.
