helpful things

Things that would be very nice to have:

-a functioning library website that would work when I need it to rather than shutting down mysteriously
-a way to keep the sweat out of my eyes while I'm at the gym without looking like an 80s throwback (suggestions welcome, is this karmic retribution for waxing my eyebrows?)
-on that note, ways to keep my hair out of my face without the elastics falling out and a way to keep the ipod thingies in my ears
-plans for holidays we can't spend with family (Thanksgiving, New Year's)
-details on holidays we plan to spend with family (notably Christmas, mom and co. need to get it together, I don't even know what state(s) we will be in: NH, VT, OH, ME, DC?)
-less butt pain
-at home weight moves that don't involve putting weight on my knees while they're black and blue
-knowledge as to whether going with my parents to New Mexico will take up too much studying-for-comps time or not
-a comps bibliography completed last month (sigh)
-a case for the ipod that would allow the plug for the play-in-the-car-thing
-all the extra computer crap in the apartment disposed of
-an entertaining, efficient, and effective way to teach African art
-small packages of raisins

Thing I really want:
-my grandpa all better (he's in the hospital

But I've already been the bride
