my birthday is aaaaalmost here!!!
I'm a big little kid when it comes to my birthday :) I've never been afraid to remind people weeks in advance "My birthday is coming!!" It is such a fun day and no matter what, any day where friends and family are thinking of you & wanting to send you love and gifts, it's a day to bathe in all it's glory. *glow*
Jake, my co-facilitator/editor at BAMboozled, was super sweet enough to bring me a cake lastnight to the meeting!! That was SOOO thoughtful!! Even though, I've been trying to cut down on sugar, I had a sweet lil' piece anyway. It was yummy! The best part is what he wrote on the cake: "Fearless Leader We ♥ Willo" How sweet is THAT?!!! He's awesome. And the kids were glad to partake in the fiesta :)
Everyone's been asking me what I want (which I love cuz I'm such a huge supporter of efficient shopping - if you're going to shop at all - so as to not fill people's closets with horrible gifts they'll never use, that's not very environmentally friendly!) So it's very kind of you to ask, sweet friends and family of mine! Over in my "wants" list there to the left, you find a link to my Amazon Wishlist, and a link to the spendy frivolous thing I'd love to have (but probably won't get) is a Fisheye Lense for my beloved Nikon 5700. This year all my gifts from my family will probably be practical - home stuff & the like - which is great cuz that's what I need! Rugs, curtains, a throw for my couch, etc :). Anyway - I never expect gifts on my bday... I'll take a lovely big bear hug any day!!
Speaking of home things, I bought a red couch!!!! It's not the greatest thing, but it was super inexpensive AND it folds out to a bed - woohoo!! It was originally bought from Cost Plus - it's called the "Red Manhattan Sleeper". The best part is that it's just a foam fold out so it's not super heavy. However, that means that it's foam cushions, which is just sorta cheap (not any super expensive down filled overstuffed couch or anything) but it was cheap & it'll do the trick for now. Oh - and this weekend I'm selling my futon AND my filing cabinet (exchanging it for an office chair maybe). Yaa craigslist!!
Also, I'm still debating whether I should let go of the coffee table I love so dear (cuz it's taking up to much floor space in my little place), thinking maybe I'll use it as an entertainment center instead of the entertainment center I'm using now - OR I could just get a smaller entertainment center (more vertical so it doesn't take up as much floor space) and then maybe I could keep the wonderful cutie coffee table?! Decisions, decisions! Ok - don't wanna bore you with any more of THAT!!!
Alrighty - off to have some lunch & humm around my day as the clock ticks closer & closer to my bday!!!!! wahooo!!
