i can dream: birthday wishlist

I feel like I haven't been shallow in a really long time.
Ha.
But really.

My birthday is one month from today. I am told year after year that nobody has any ideas for me, and they need a wish list. I always put off writing one, or coming up with one, because I feel like I'm dictating the amount spent on my gifts. Does that make sense?

Regardless, I decided to go ahead and put together my "ultimate" birthday wish list for the year. Of course, it's not a "big" birthday (meaning, not 21, 25 or 30) so I certainly don't expect it to be treated as such. I'm just having some fun.


MacBook Pro
13 inch, 2.3 GHz

 Y'all, I need a new computer. This is actually what I've asked for for my birthday this year. My current MacBook was my birthday present for my 22nd birthday. I'm *ahem* not going to TELL you how old I'll be this time around, but needless to say, my poor precious Mac has been put through the ringer. And since I have aspirations that involve needing my computer for work, I'd really like a new computer that will allow me to work with ease, comfort and security. To be honest, I'm almost afraid to do too much work on my current project because I never know when my computer's going to mess up. *knock on wood* I'm actually not THRILLED that Apple discontinued the regular MacBook, but I'm more interested in the Pro at this point, rather than the Air, because a) I need it a little sturdier, b) the increased memory and the faster processor are a big turn on. But. I'd still be thrilled to get an 11-inch MacBook Air. I'm not loving that the Pro doesn't come in 11 inches, but whatevs.


Otterbox for iPad 2

Yeah, this is a need. We'll be buying one regardless because I've had my iPad since April and it's had issues TWICE. It *needs* this case. It'd add a lot of bulk, but I wouldn't have to flip out every time it slipped out of my hands or Liam tried to pull it off the table.


Rosetta Stone: German

Truthfully, learning German not only sounds like a lot of freaking fun, but it'd help a lot with the project I'm working on right now. Also, I'd really like to be able to do my ranting and cursing in German. Pretty much yes.


Thor & X-Men: First Class on Blu Ray

Need I explain this? NO.
YUM.




That's pretty much it. Of course, I could have made it really outlandish and added thirty thousand things from kate spade's website, but I didn't. I also could have added some editing software, photoshop and the like, but I didn't. I also could have added Jane Eyre on Blu Ray -- which comes out TOMORROW-- but we all know that I'm not going to wait a MONTH for Michael Fassbender in a classic literature come to life period piece. It's like heaven on a disc.

So there you have it. That was fun ;)

birthday boy.

SOMEBODY is TWO today!!

Here's to two fantastic years, babers. 

And a thousand more. 

And that's as mushy as I'm going to get people. 

I love my kid, but it's more important to me that HE knows it and sees it every day, rather than finds it written on my blog. 

birthdays i love: cory

Today is a good day.

Today is this dude's birthday:

He happens to be mine and Zach's best friend. He also happens to be Liam's Godfather.

He is the best there is. 

The absolute best friend, the absolute best Godfather. 

We're so lucky to have him in our lives!

We love you, Cory!

Today is this dude's birthday:

He's pretty much the bomb.com. 

Also one of the people who made college wonderfully fun. 

You can tell how much fun he is, can't you?

Happy Birthday Trevor, dear!

Come home soon, TX is tired of sharing you with CA!
