My birthday is two weeks from tomorrow!
Usually, it sneaks up on me — I don’t flip the calendar prematurely, and then all of a sudden, I realize that I have missed out on the excited anticipation stage. I am not letting that happen this year. Tomorrow, I’m sending out an invitation for a frost-your-own-cupcake open house, and I am mulling over the options for the traditional dinner out on the town. JG has been taunting me about a gift he’s ordered that is so amazingly awesome, even though, supposedly, I don’t even know that it exists. Well, then. I just hope whatever it is lives up to the hype, or else I will be severely disappointed.
In the meantime, in case there are any wealthy benefactors out there with money burning holes in pockets, here is a smattering of items* that, despite some gasp-worthy prices, may cause squealing from yours truly:
- Periodic Table Refrigerator Magnets at Think Geek: $9.99
- Eve Peeptoe Flat at Ann Taylor: $98 (but I swear they were on sale two days ago…)
- Celtic Knot Necklace at Red Envelope: $58
- Calico Wedge at Piperlime: $75
- Periodic Table of Sentiments Cards at Pink Loves Brown: $13.50 for assorted set of six
- Lightweight Cardigan (also in Violet) at Old Navy: $24.50
- Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink at Amazon: $19.77
- Azalea Top at Ann Taylor Loft: $44
- Zinc Letters at Anthropologie: $18 each

Such a succinct list of birthday wants! Love it!
ohhh great list. and pretty, too! I always think about getting #1 for my chem major sister. And I want #7 for myself! I’m impressed that only one thing on the list is green, RA!
I’m mad you’ve gone fishing for presents. And I can say that because I am your zeester. You’re right. There is no more 30% off those cute shoes at AT. Those suckers. Lucky for you - I will be sending along your birthday present once I return from PR. You should definitely go for the traditional birthday dinner. What is a birthday without some pretty good food (hopefully) that you don’t have to make yourself? It will be a cold day in…somewhere…when I don’t go out to eat for my birthday. How old are you anyway? I should know this…
Hooray for birthday anticipation! I love all of the things on your list.
I’m sure you know this, but if you relentlessly stalk those AT flats, you can totally score them on sale. (That is, unless you receive them as a gift!)
my birthday is at the end of march and joe, like jg, says he is getting me the most awesome present ever. and, like you, i don’t even know it exists. i hope your present rocks…can’t wait to hear what it is.
That is a brilliant birthday list. And I don’t think the prices are horrifying. Has my perspective been skewed by The Man?
I love all of them! Especially #s 3, 4 and 8
Birthdays are just so fun!
That ATL blouse is GORGEOUS!! It would look quite fetching with numbers 3 and 4
Happy Birthday anticipation time! I love everything on your list and I hope at least one of them is what JG ordered for you. Also, a frost-your-own-cupcake open house sounds like the best idea ever.
I almost bought that Ann Taylor Loft blouse on Sunday….but it wasn’t what I was supposed to be shopping for so I abstained!
Cute shoes too!
I love birthdays….hope some rich person will read this and buy you everything on your wish list!
Oh I love the necklace, it’s gorgeous.
Love the necklace! Love the wedge shoes… swoon!
xox
Great picks! Love the necklace…
I’d be happy to pass along my 20% off coupon at Piperlime if you want to buy shoes on sale!
