I spent some time on the Internet searching for things that pique my interest in an effort to address problem numero dos. In doing so I realized that with grad school (and it's accompanying loans) on the horizon, my interests are leaning towards affordable necessities, as opposed to splurges. So, without further adieu, here are a few gifts I'd be happy to open next month, with a couple of trinkets thrown in for good measure.
A summer staple!
I realize that, with a birthday in July, I shouldn't be asking for wool gloves. But just look at these puppies! Heck, I would be excited to open these if I lived along the equator. Besides, you can't beat the price of winter gloves in the summer time.
I heart my cashmere. It's about time I act as such.
A love note from My Favorite that I can wear forever and always? Yes, please.
A healthy means to deal with the inevitable stress of graduate school.
A nice, long belly laugh...
Because, let's face it, I'm like 28 going on 58. That and my Magic Bullet just died... R.I.P. little buddy.
(Random Fun Fact: This is the same gadget Marshall uses to liquify his breakfast in preparation for the New York City Marathon during the second season of How I Met Your Mother. It's like famous or something!!)
Finally, in the off-chance that I could possibly appear more beautiful than I do at this exact moment*, I'd like to sample the following wares from Kiehls, which the masses have been raving about FOR-E-VER.
Caviar with Stringy Band Ring by Andrea Corson ($320 plus S&H)
Of course, what I most wish for on my birthday is a big bear hug from this guy:I don't eat caviar, but I'd be more than happy to wear some!
But, you know what they say - good things come to those who wait... To which I respond, I hate "they".
*Note: I am currently plopped on the couch in my hospital scrubs, with a green facial mask slathered on my face. In the words of Paris Hilton, "That's hot!"
Caviar rings? White jackets? Cuisinarts? I had no idea you were so high maintenance.
ReplyDeleteArmy fatigues? Outdoorsy backdrop? Smouldering facial expression? I had no idea you were so good looking.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, yes I did. Giggle, giggle!
