fer ma berfday

one of my favorite things now that i have had a blog
long enough to do it?  look at posts from the same date a year,
two years, three years, four years, five years...ago.
i was doing that the other day and found this post from last year.

obviously the first year was arbitrary
the second year was a coincidence.
last year i probably noticed in january
and planned to post it on the same day.

this year i had it all written and ready to go
and then i went and got the flu
so, i totally missed my cool 4yearsinarownoway moment.

oh well.

my birthday is less than a month away, and i've already
gotten a few things as early birthday presents:


☆ a Wii (Ro and i split it as our birthday presents to each other,  a couple months early)

☆ a massage cushion (Ro surprised me with this saying it's part two of my birthday present)


and for christmas i got several things that had been on recent wish lists:

☆ uggs (from mama santa)

☆ sookie stackhouse books 8 and 9 (from Ro)
side note: we also went looking at jewelry but i couldn't make up my mind, so we decided to wait and then i decided that putting that money toward a new bed or sofa might make more sense right now, so the "something pretty" i wished for sentiment from Ro was there, but i was too practical...

☆ a hat from freetimegoods (from my little brother)

☆ stained glass stars (bought with my first etsy "paycheck" and i love them!)


i am thankful for everything i have and i really don't need anything but since that's no fun, here's my if-i-was-going-to-ask-for-anything-else-here's-what-it-would-be list:

☆ a new computer

☆ these boots (currently on sale!!)

☆ a zebra rug (like this)

☆ ohio necklace

☆ this ring with something meaningful stamped on it

☆ lots of mustaches on sticks!

☆ an ohio version of these states prints.  a japan one would be awesome too.

☆ pb&j cross stitch kit

☆ this book would (still) be really funny in the bathroom

☆ monster ipod case

☆ the practical guide to patchwork

☆ this is as close as i'd probably ever get to having the arcade version of pac-man in my house

☆ these rugs are gorgeous





what's on your wish list?
