Birthday Wish List

It feels like August has been going on forever and September will never come - this is good and bad for me by the way since Richie goes back to school in September - which means my birthday just isn't getting any closer.

Hmm that might be the reason I've already bought myself everything I wanted. I thought about waiting but when I realize August had 31 days (and not 30), I just couldn't do it. So putting together this list was tougher than normal. But.Not.That.Tough.

So here are 24 things I'm wishing for this year (can you guess how old I'm going to be)?

***Since people are actually looking at this list, I am going to start crossing things off the list as I get them.
  1. Plane tickets to see one of my best friends in Utah. I miss her :(
  2. Pedicure/Massage (I don't think these ever leave my list)
  3. Striped delight
  4. Cute flats or wedge heels.
  5. A new purse in a dark purple color. One with pockets for my cell phone and keys.
  6. iPod Nano (my 1G nano isn't cutting it anymore).
  7. Pampered Chef Mandoline
  8. A personal trainer or just a mean workout buddy.
  9. Ice cream maker
  10. Recipe/cookbook stand
  11. Wii Microphone stand (for singing while I'm drumming)
  12. Gummy worms or Hairbo (gold bag) gummy bears
  13. Either this So You Think You Can Dance workout DVD or this one.
  14. Money (because when is this ever a bad gift)
  15. Gift card from Ann Taylor Loft or Banana Republic
  16. To go on quadruple date with my two brothers and sister (she turns 16 next month).
  17. Netflix subscription
  18. ClearPlay DVD player (edits movies for content you don't want)
  19. Subscription to one of the musical theaters in the area (Kennedy Center, Signature Theater, Arena Stage, or Wooly Mammoth)
  20. Dessert at Melting Pot (or just chocolate fondue)
  21. Piano music (since I started playing the piano again)
  22. A weekend in Aruba. Or maybe Grand Cayman. Anywhere with a beach and no internet
  23. Strawberry and nutella crepes in bed
  24. A pepperoni, cheese, and black olive calzone from Ashburn Cafe. And mozzarella sticks.

So that's it. I don't think I'm asking for too much this year. Just enough :)

oh yay! i love birthday wish lists. seeing what other people want is such a fun thing.

you're asking for some VERY reasonable things...i see no problem in why you can't receive most of your 24th birthday wants!

#s 8 & 11 cracked me up :)

and a strawberry nutella crepe?! Oh, that sounds SO GOOD!

and #2? should Definitely be a fixture on wish lists.

Wow - you're easy to buy for. I'd go for Ashburn Cafe too. Love that place.

i think that is a perfect birthday list, especially the plane tickets to see a best friend, i definitely know that feeling. that's why when matt flew her out i was more than excited. friends are totally necessary and great additions to birthday celebrations :)

What?!? No request for a plane ticket to visit your totally awesome friend in AZ? I'm hurt! :-) Well, despite leaving me off your list I still hope you have an awesome birthday and you get what you want. Miss you!

Hmmm... Mean workout buddy? You should move here. I make Downi sick when she runs with me. Not that I'm pushing her; I think I'm just bad luck.

I couldn't come up with anything that I wanted for my bday!!! I really need to go to the Melting Pot sometime!

I had chocolate fondue for my birthday too! LOVE IT!!! And, just the other day I had a dream that Todd's parents were buying us tickets to go to DC, and I got to see you. Too bad it was just a dream...
