So Nice, We Celebrated Thrice

So last year was a "pretty big" birthday year. I turned 40. Luckily, I'm told 40 is the new 30 so....great, I guess. It wasn't such a big deal really. Last year, I made my birthday An Event for myself. I decided that I would buy treat myself to a gift for each of the seven days leading up to the big day. And I succeeded admirably!

I decided this year that I should continue the tradition. Here are a few of the things I want this year:

The J. Crew Metallic Distressed Mary Jane
These stupid shoes sat in the Sale section of the J.Crew website for months, and of course, they are no longer there. Buzzards. Found them, of course, on ebay. Auction ends tomorrow. Damn the price! It's my birthday!


A pair of Adirondack Chairs
Not exactly this pair, but close. I want to paint them Charleston Green and put them on the back patio after I get the 16 x 16 slate tiles put down. Oops! Did I just say that? About my next project? Sorry, Lovey! You had to find out eventually...


Dooney + Bourke Tiger Bag
Cute, huh? But I'm way too cheap, and I so want other things more, LIKE:


Vera Wang Flower Princess Lotion
I bought myself the perfume a few weeks ago. So summery! If all goes according to my evil plan, I will have this this afternoon after work. While motorcycle boys are away, motorcycle wives will spend $$$.


Matchbox 20 Exile On Mainstream
I can't help myself. I love these guys. I must have the new CD.

Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep line
Part of the reason I love my new bathtub. The scent is Vanilla Lavender and is heavenly! This Dream Bath in particular is bubbly and pleasantly scented at the same time. Wish I was there right now actually.


OPI Black Cherry Chutney
So what if it's summer? I can still wear deep purple polish.

The best part of my birthday this year is that I am off, not working, out of the office, gone for the day, leave me alone!!! Dogs willing, I'm going to sleep late and do absolutely nothing if I want to. Surely there is some girl movie I haven't seen yet...
