For My Quarter of a Century Birthday

Andy says I'm difficult and that he can't figure out a single thing to get me for my birthday.  But that's just silly.  I'm a normal girl, and I want many, many things--none of which are too terribly hard to figure out.

First of all, and probably most obviously, I want one of these.  Then, of course, a little baby collar and a little name tag with rhinestones on it.  And the stegosaurus shaped nylabone I saw on Amazon.  Because every puppy needs a bone shaped like a stegosaurus, and mine is no exception.

I also desperately need a pair of nude pumps.  I love them; they are so timeless and elegant and, when I am less poor, I would like to be both of those things.  I am progressively shabbier every year, but one day I will dress well and on that day I would like these pumps.  If that day were to come sooner rather than later (like, say, this Thursday), you wouldn't hear me complaining.

It would also make my life complete to be taken here.  It's totally on my bucket list.  Sooner, though, rather than later, because I'm not getting any younger and I'm already slightly older than the typical demographic.  Fact is, though, I am a super duper avid Harry fan and I am definitely dying to take a little trip to Florida.  The older I get, the less socially appropriate.  Although, who really cares about social appropriateness?  I just have to go--end of story.

I would also like to be taken to see this show.  It's coming to a theater near me in May and I may or may not have been dropping less-than-subtle hints ever since December.  Will Andy figure it out?  (As long as he continues to not read my blog--probably not.)

I also need some ice cream cake.  My sister promises she will make me one, and she will use Cold Stone ice cream.  Yumm.  I hope she doesn't invite anyone else over, because the fewer people she invites, the more there is for me.  Just me.  And I'm the birthday girl. 

Also in the interest of decreasing my current level of shabbiness, I would like a lovely Lilly sundress to wear for various summertime events.  I have always felt that Lilly channeled my personal style but, alas, have been unable to afford it.  One day, though, I will.  Hey, I'm not in law school for my health.

A little margarita...little salt on the rim...

Mmm, tequila. 

A little pampering pedicure...  (No manicure because law school has made me bite my nails off.)   Generally I can't afford frivolity, but sometimes its awfully nice.  

Using the Katy Perry colors...  (I LOVE Katy Perry!)  I like the purple sparkly one on the left... 

Some birthday flowers would also be nice.  Last year my parents sent me the most beautiful flowers on my birthday...  Tulips are my favorite, and I love pink and yellow.  Difficult?  I think not.

Also, I would very much like to wear a birthday princess tiara and go around bossing people around.  It wouldn't be the first time.  I actually have my own birthday tiara at home that my sister and I have passed back and forth on our birthdays, so I will probably get a chance to don it this weekend.

Difficult?  I really think not.  I like fun, girly things that I wouldn't ordinarily be able to afford otherwise.  It would be convenient if Andy read this but, then again, I probably wouldn't be quite as candid.  It's better that way.

You know what else I like?  My mom took off work on Friday to spend the day with me.  It will be so much fun!  I love my Marge.  

I am also of the opinion that birthdays last until you have seen the last person who has a present for you.  Sometimes, I'm not going to lie, I have been known to drag it out a little longer than strictly necessary.  This year that may not really be an option, but I will at least get this whole weekend. 

Ahhhhhh, birthday!!!  So excited!
