Eleven Things I Am Wishing For Right Now

 Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy bi-OH MY GOD I'M A QUARTER-CENTURY OLD!  Wow.  That's just craziness.

It's gonna be a pretty quiet day this time around.  The Man and I both woke up early to make our coffee and whisper sweet nothings to each other while watching the sun rise, which was pretty amazing.  Let's hope that next year we won't have to do it over the phone!  The 'rents also slipped me a nice wad of cash, along with a gift certificate for a haircut.  Gentle hint much?  (I kid; it's for a super nice salon downtown and I did express interest in exactly this).  Thank you, 'rents!

Here's my birthday breakfast: eggs, brussel sprouts, half a baby apple, macadamia nuts (these things are seriously amazing) and coffee with coconut.  And the funnies.  Couldn't get much better.

However, if it could get better, these are the things that would make it so.

1. A Cuisinart!  Yes, I'm pretty good at the chopping and dicing and all that (being literally a pro), but it gets tiring.  And you try making macadamia nut butter by hand!

2. A Handful bra.  I'm not even sure it would contain my mammaries of insanity, but they are just so cute!  They don't make them in bright blue, so I'd have to go with the pink.

3. Closet space.  Just look at these.  UNF.  LUST.  Someday...

4. This house.



5. Or this one.  I'm not terribly picky.

6. A backyard flock of chickens!

7. An all-expenses-paid (including lost income, babysitters, maids, etc) trip for The Man and myself to rural Italy to live on an old but well-established farmstead for a month screw that, if I'm just wishing I'm gonna say indefinitely!

8. Barring that, the time and funds to take two weeks and road trip it over to Cali and check out the wine country.  Almost as good, right?

9. Every single flavor of Taza Chocolate Mexicano.  I haven't even tasted any of it yet but just looking at the site made my mouth water.



10. Everything in this song:



11. Also, just because: PONY!

  3. Happy birthday chica! I have to say, those closet organizers make me swoon also. I love the idea of having compartments for everything. :P

  4. Happy Birthday! I would take one of those houses or the wine country trip in a heart beat. I turn a little older (cough) next month and will have to add those to the list. Wonder if the hubs will go for it??

  5. Thanks for the birthday wishes, ladies!

    Joanne: I know, right? A place for everything and everything in its place...it's cheesy and old-fashioned, but still awesome.

    Megan: I say go for it! Do a little research to figure out cheap hotels and spend most of the budget on wine tours and other fun parts. And take pictures!
