I want...

I SHOULD be working on grad school work right now, BUT my brain feels quite a bit scattered (it must the impending presence of Hurricane Earl) so I need to do a "brain dump" in the form of a blog post before I get down to business.

Me-- On my 5th Birthday


On October 11, I will be turning 25.And while I am not happy about being a quarter of a century old, I am happy about passing one more "checkpoint" to November 7 and Apache's homecoming. The only way I've been able to get through these months is by focusing on smaller pieces and making it to each one. Starting school again was one of the checkpoints, which I did this Monday. Now, I'm focusing on the month until my birthday when I can officially begin the countdown to his arrival in the States.

Focusing on my birthday has led me to focus on one thing. Birthday presents.  So this is a me-me of all the things that I would love to find wrapped up in blue paper with silver bows beside some chocolate covered strawberries.

1. 2011 Mustang GT 5.0    Except in silver, please. Thanks :-)   I've always wanted a Mustang convertible since I was young. When I bought my car in 2009, I was with Trevor and the insurance would have been outrageous. Now that almost 25 and dating a man, not a little boy, I could quite possibly buy one. So, I would love one of these with a blue bow in my drive way on my birthday.

2. Keurig Coffee Machine - I love coffee and tea. I rarely drink it cause I HATE making it. So I would love to have one of these puppies in my classroom to have some green tea whenever I want.

3. T&Co Horse shoe Good luck charm & chain.   A horseshoe. from Tiffany. 'Nuff said.


4. A bouquet of sunflowers. Apache better come through on this. I LOVE getting flowers, and have NEVER been with a guy who thought enough of me (apparently) to give me flowers on my birthday. My lovelies got me a gorgeous bouquet of sunflowers for my birthday last year, but I want them from my man. damnit. I want romance. I know he's capable of sending flowers since I know he sent DogFace some on her birthday last year. Keeping my fingers crossed.

5.  Tack Classic boots by The Original Muck Boot Company- High Cut- size 7.5.  Having a horse in a New England winter and spring is cold, muddy business. And while Wal-Mart sells those lovely colorful welly boots, they are useless keeping your feet warm in the snow. These boots are amazing in mud and muck, and I want them! AND they come in hot pink or purple. <3

6. So if I get the aforementioned bouquet of flowers, I might consider purchasing this lovely number to help welcome Apache home.

7. My customized Reebok Easy Tone sneakers. Size 7.5

8. Tiffany Bead Earrings -- To match the necklace I already have.  <3

Um yeah, my birthday is month after yours and I want like everything on your list. Except my favorite flowers are sunflowers but they remind me of DD so I have mixed feelings about getting them and besides I have no man to give them to me.

I hope you get some of the things you are wishing for!
