Wish List Wednesday: Birthday Edition

I am going to try and lend a hand to my gift impaired husband and do a little day dreaming at the same time.

 I want a new bicycle, which may seem odd since I’m pregnant, but I enjoy riding my bike with Matthew in our neighborhood. I had a good cheap bike previously, with the baby seat attached to the back and we rode all the time, then some hoodlums stole said bike! I couldn’t believe someone would take a bike with a child’s seat on it, and Matthew’s helmet was also taken because it was hanging on the handlebars. Thugs.

This simple, Wal-Mart brand, cheap-o bike will be just fine for my needs. And when the 2^nd child makes his/her debut we can go out and buy another child’s seat for the back.

Second on my list are shoes: Yes I have a ton but I do love some new shoes. I am currently on the hunt for the perfect pair of closed toe black heels. Seems simple enough but since my feet have decided to be two different sizes it is a rather hard feat to find the perfect comfortable, stylish pair. Plus new other cute shoes would be nice too. And some sensible, work appropriate sandals for when my feet become swollen Vienna sausages that feel like they might burst open at the tips like little fire crackers. MMMM wiener tots.

A day at the spa- to include a facial, pedicure and prenatal massage. Aveeda Salon and Spa Downtown

Cast iron dutch oven- no photo necessary

Blender/mixer: two fold gift, our blender has a giant crack in it that could burst at anytime. Plus we use the blender at least twice a day and when the new one gets here I want to puree my own baby food so a mixer would be required.

Oh and the ultimate would be a night at the Westin Downtown Greenville, alone, so I can sleep as much as I like, in a quiet , dark room, and get up only to answer the door for room service and watch as much cable TV as I can stand. That would be the ultimate gift.

 That will be all :)

Wish List Wednesday

Okay it’s been too long, I have had many thoughts since last I wrote but life impedes my blogging ways.

Wish List Wednesday

On the list today is a bird bath slash water fountain. I have the perfect spot for it amidst my South Carolinian bushes and plants that are flourishing despite the fact that I have a black thumb. The problem is I can’t see spending the money for the one I really want but also don’t want to spend less money on something I don’t really want. Anyhow, here is the ideal Water Fountain with the backup bird bath following it.

Next on current list of wants is a food processer. The only time I have really found the need for it is when I am making Oreo cookie ball truffles and have to smash the Oreos in to crumbs with a meat tenderizer. Just seems wrong. I am sure if I owned one I would use it for many other cooking projects but the Oreo Balls are what sparked this desire.

Does anyone have they recommend?

Now some more random items that have made it back on the list:

A Galileo thermometer. I believe we had one when I was little, I probably broke it.

I have wanted one for a few years now but when I see that they are $30 bucks for a decent size one, I skip it thinking that there is something more important to spend my money on. Like Starbucks or photos, you know the important things. So alas I have not purchased one for myself yet. This would be a great gift if anyone is every in the need to buy me a gift.

Nude shoes. Nuff said. I found the perfect pair a week or so ago, not too old fashioned, but not harlot like either, appropriate for work or a casual outfit and the suckers were out of my size. These are not a photo of said shoe but a good replacement unit however they look like they are blister makers.

Terrarium

They are so beautiful and seemingly hassle free. Perfect for the New Year’s Resolution to keep more plants alive. I am not sure I have the patients or the right size tweezers to operate in such a confined space to make this pretty but perhaps I will try or find one that I like enough to purchase.

Wish List Wednesday

Here is what I am swooning over this week.
Babies.
Perhaps swooning isn’t the right word is as obsessing.
I want another child undoubtedly but in the meantime I will  swoon over these photos of these children.
How cute are they?!?!

I want to eat them ALL up
