Tis the season for making wishlists

christinahopgood
Okay so I’m going to stop being lame and start blogging again.  Now semester is over (yay Honours done!) I can actually start thinking about nice bloggy things again!

Like my wishlist!  It’s nearly Christmas, which is a perfect time to let the whole world know what you like!  So I’m updating my wishlist with a bunch of things.  First, the modcloth things!  Click on the pictures to go to the product pages.

This plum wedge is gorgeous, I love the ankle strap!

This dress is pretty different from my usual style, but I really like how it drapes on the bodice.  I also like how it has deer on it!

This is a lovely sandal.  Unfortunately they don’t have it in this emerald green colour, they only have it in a brighter blue-green and a red.  I’d love this green though.  I’m into green right now.  My school uniform was green so it’s taken a long time for me to wear green again.  I’ve been out of school, what, six years now?

Engagement ring!

Charles and I bought my engagement ring while we were at This Is Not Art, in Newcastle. It’s an antique, made of silver and sapphires. The stones are very dark, but when in the sunlight they sparkle beautiful blue.

It was far too big for my ring finger when we bought it, so I had it re-sized to fit. Charles went to Sweden while it was still being fixed, so it was a wonderful moment when I finally collected it. It’s a constant reminder that I’m loved, even though my fiancee is not with me!

I’m rich!

christinahopgood
I’m the 682,571,530 richest person on earth!


Discover how rich you are!

 
I don’t feel rich, that’s for sure.  I feel like I’m a struggling student who is on the verge of having a LOT more expenses.  And to be sure, the cost of living in Australia is more expensive than the majority of places in the world.
 
But looking at the Global Rich List made me consider how lucky I am to live here.  Australians love to whine about how poor they are (read this great article on Heathen Scripture for more insight) but compared to many people, they really aren’t.
 
So I encourage you to click on the above link and see how rich you are.  It certainly surprised me!
