So, rather than lamenting about my birthday (which I've been doing for the first part of this month), I'm going to embrace it and come up with a list of things that would make me smile. BTW, it's not my birthday...why would I post this list on my birthday? It wouldn't give my Daddy Warbucks any time to shop if I didn't give it him ahead of time! So, apart from World Peace, normal looking knees, and someone to come to my house and do laundry, here are a few of my heart's desires:
Reese's cups - YUM!

Wine - any kind...any vintage...I'm not picky.

Lightscoop for my camera...I've never used one, but I've heard that they're pretty damn awesome.

Anything from Ann Taylor Loft...for serious.

Sushi - yes, one of the loves of my life.

Kindle Cover - I have one...it's very safe...very black...but this one? Be still my heart!

Container Store - I'm kind of obsessed with this store lately and could really do some damage, but think of how organized my damage would be!
 |

Dirt book - let's face it...I'm not the "let's go play in the dirt, kids!" kind of mother...but maybe I could be!
 |

Organization book - if someone got me this book and a gift card to the container store, I'd be their friend for life...

Tops - I'm big into blouses this season...don't know why...I'm always futzing with the buttons and such, but there are really some pretty tops out there!

Car detailing - seriously...the thing looks like a bomb went off. It's gross and I love my car...why do I abuse her?
Bike - now that Knee has slightly recovered, it's time to get out there...I want to do my first bike race by the time I'm 40...I'd also like a real genuine garage in which to keep said bike, but it'll come...eventually.

Spin shoes - if I'm going to continue to torture myself with this activity, the least I could do is get the proper footwear...I draw the line at bike shorts!
 |
| Image information |
New watch - I don't really need a new watch...I love my watch, but it has tortoise shell on the band and when I wear black, I'd love a silver watch. Isn't this one purdy???
 |

Diamond circle - I've wanted one of these for a while...it's is SO not a "need," but still...a want nonetheless.

Abs - enough said.

Bath stuff - have I told you guys that every Monday night is Mom's Bath Night in my house? I look forward to it like you wouldn't believe. Crazies are in bed. Husband is at the gym. Brad Wom.ack is being taken care of on the DVR. I relax for about 30 minutes in some heavenly product from LUSH and read Kindle (hoping desperately that I don't drop it into the bathwater)! It's the best way to end a Monday!!!

Flipflops - I love them. They let me know Summer is coming. They make me happy.
 |

Bathing Suit - as much as I don't really want to face the fact that I will be showing 2/3 of my body on a daily basis in just a few short months, I figure that I should at least have a cute suit to do it in. Love this one (and it has sucky-in stuff)!

Beach - yeah...gotta get here. It's been too long!
 |
| Image information |
Crazies' feet on canvas - do you remember this post? The pictures of the Crazies' feet in the bath? I need to get that on canvas...
Remote for the camera - Okay, so I got the tripod for Christmas, but wouldn't a remote be nice too? Then I could not look like a sweaty mess by the time I ran into the picture, but I'd be calmly posed with my family and click the button whenever I felt it was right. I love control!!!

Sun and Sand Candle - again, beach=summer=happy.
 |
| Image information |
Flip video camera - you guys...this is awesome...I gotta get one (eventually).
 |
| Image information |
Roc - yes, because I'm getting older and I can actually FEEL the wrinkles around my eyes...gross...fix me, Roc.
 |

This belt...omg...I love this belt...am I really a belt person though? Short people can't really do belts, right?
Bobbi Brown Beach Fragrance - who doesn't like to smell nice? The beach is nice...I need to smell like it immediately! I've never actually inhaled this fragrance (can't speak about other things, but not this fragrance...that's for sure), but I've heard it's lovely.

Michael Kors Leg Shine - seriously? Who DOESN'T need this?
 |
| Image information |
Shimmer Brick Compact - so pretty, right? I love shiny things and something just tells me that this one wouldn't make me look like a big greaseball...maybe just a little glowy. I like glowy!

So funny though...I spent all this time putting this post together and when Husband offered to let me do a little online shopping the other day, I totally jumped at it. Retail therapy complete, my birthday present is spent! I thought I'd share this anyway though in case you guys needed any ideas for completely frivolous things that you'd want!
What's your favorite???
