Mandy's Birthday Wish List

Here it is! The highly anticipated, highly researched birthday list 2009! You see, I must confess there is a guilty pleasure among my family members. As grown adults, we still give each other birthday presents every year, each and every one of us. Yes, it gets a little old sometimes, after you've doled out cash for the 14th time that year, but when it comes time for your birthday- I swear, its the best thing that happens to you all year! Makes me feel like a kid again! So, every year, I get at least 6 phone calls with the same question- "What do you want for your birthday?" In response, we have started carrying around "lists". (Janna started it)
And that is why, this year, I'll be unabashedly posting my list online- as a favor to you, dear siblings. To make your shopping just a little easier. Just consider it a little birthday gift from me to you.
So, without further adieu.........

THE LIST


1. A sporty pair of sunglasses. I'll try to demonstrate what I mean by sporty. I'm looking for something like these....

Not so much like these.....(love you Jami)

2. Cute Jewelry

3. A new Ironing Board (lame, I know. I recently saw one for $12 at Wal-mart, but couldn't figure out how to get it home in my cart with 4 kids & all my groceries. It's really a matter of convenience)

4. A cute pair of Mountain Bike Shorts

5. A collection of good music.
Here's my dream......I want someone who owns a lot of great music to copy me some of their favorite albums, or even make some "mixed tapes". I just really like good music, but don't have the time or the patience to acquire it. Another bonus, this could be a really inexpensive gift that would mean a lot to me.

6. 2 Euro-sized pillow inserts. Sold at Target for much less than Pottery Barn. I have Euro shams for my new bedding, but so far, havent been able to afford pillows to go in them. How sad :(

7. Big square baskets to put on the floor by my back door & have the kids put their shoes in them when they get home. Destined to fail, right? You can't blame me for trying

8. A new fall Purse. Isn't this one the cutest? Its by Juicy Couture and is only $350. Ya right! A Target special will do just fine.

9. Book- "The Time Travelers Wife"

10. Mountain/Road Biking Gloves

11. New P.J. pants. These are the ones I told Heather about from Aeropostale. When I went to buy them, they were $39.00. REDICULOUS! Now they are on sale for $19.99. More reasonable. Hint Hint
