And then she turned 37.

Today is my birthday! Do I look older to you? 

To make things easier for the one of you who buys me a gift, I thought I'd post a list of things that I'm currently admiring.

This dress from Old Navy. Or this one. This skirt (gray or orange) from the Gap. A white one of these open cardigans.

Twig. The iPhone charger slash tripod. And not the black one, please.

A mini-Keurig. Andi tells me there are yellow ones too.

This cool ring. I'd wear it as a wedding band next to my current band.

This French press for making iced coffee.

A variety of this (Malibu Heat, tho I wouldn't mind a sniff of the Wild Citrus Sunflower) from Bath & Body Works.

Quiet time, and not just an hour.

A trip alone to the thrift store.

A sewing room.

A kitten.

Annual Birthday Wishlist for 2011

It's really hard to return to normal posting after that flood post (my second most viewed post of all time!) but despite the flood life goes on. There isn't really a polite way to segue into something fun, so I'm just jumping in-

My birthday is 11 short days away, and with all the flood excitement I have failed to provide you with a shopping list.  We can't have that!  Since we've been on a tight budget since the girl was born, my list is extraordinarily long this year. Feel free to pick anything on it.

• A flickr pro account upgrade
• iTunes gift cards
• A cool lens for my iphone
• A tripod for my iPhone
• This cool drying rack for my coffee mugs and water bottles
• This awesome hot air balloon necklace.
• New sandals for summer (Size 8.5, please)
• Fabric (this would be my first choice)
• A fun wrap  bracelet for everyday.
• Oliver + S Little Things to Sew: 20 Classic Accessories and Toys for Children
• A wallet just big enough for my phone, id, library card, and a tiny bit of cash. With a belt clip. I haven't found a perfect one yet.
• Time to myself.

So there ya go, presents for Lisa.  What would you buy yourself, if it were your birthday?
