Birthday Wish List

My 26th birthday is coming up on the 29th!! I am super pumped!! I love getting another year older! I know this enthusiasm will probably die down once I hit 30, but as for right now, I'm enjoying it! Although I don't need gifts, I do have a wish list & since it just happens to be my birthday soon, I thought I'd share!

I would obviously want one from Amazon or eBay because oh my gosh! But seriously. I have a goal for the next year or so to somehow become the owner of a DSLR camera & I think this is a great starter one! I'm currently saving up for it!

Nude Pumps
I love the Olympic & Trinitie nude pumps from Steve Madden!! But $80 & $100 is a lot for me. Target has a great pair right now for $30, but not at MY Target store. Should I order them offline? Can you return them to a store if they don't fit? Forever 21 & Charlotte Russe have some suede ones, but I want something I can wear in summer or winter & that's not suede. I needed a black pair of nice shoes I could wear with dresses & a nude pair of pumps. I bought these black shoes the other day, so now bring on the nude pumps!!

Speaking of shoes, I find it ridiculous that I don't have a pair of TOMS yet! Lewis does, but I don't. And they have ones for Isis now!!

How awesome would this be? I love to read & this way I could just carry it with me everywhere! Some books I'm wanting right now - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, One Day, Sacred Parenting (to read with Adriel at The Mommyhood Memos), 20 Times a Lady & The Me I Want to Be

Kings of Leon
I know it's crazy that I'm just now getting on the Kings of Leon bandwagon. What are your favorite KOL songs? Which older cds of their do you like?

Paramore
I love Paramore. I love Hayley Williams. I have their old stuff. Now I want this one.

Carrie Underwood
She just really makes me smile! And I like every song of hers that's ever been on the radio.

New quilt or comforter for our bed
There are several I like. I have a dark red bedroom, so I like to have lighter accessories. I like this DwellStudio one from Target, but I'd also like just a plain white quilt like this one.

TV Shows on DVD
There are several shows that I collect. Some of these come out right around my birthday. Bones Season 5, The Vampire Diaries Season 1, Grey's Anatomy Season 6, One Tree Hill Season 7 (although I still need Season 6) & I've decided I need to start collecting The Big Bang Theory because it's one Lewis & I can watch over & over again!

I did one of these posts today too! I love that Dwell Studio comforter - I've been looking for something like this for my guest room for almost 2 years. I'll have to stop by Target and check it out. I hope you have a great birthday!

what a great wish list! big bang theory - yes!! new camera - yes! new pumps - yes! i love those nude pumps! and you can get some at target for $30? dooo it! (you should be able to return in-store if they don't fit, no worries... i ordered some for my wedding online that i ended up returning. oh, and don't judge me for almost wearing shoes from target to married in.. i ended up wearing some awesome deep red pumps that i got at ross for $14.99. heh.) and now, to end the run-on comment... please send me your address in my email. birthday wishes must be sent properly. :)

I still have 2 1/2 months until mine! I should make a wishlist, actually I need to for my hubby (he isn't very good about it when left to his own ideas- he gets things I don't feel are worth the cost- gift or not).
Although I also long for a better camera, so I can try my hand at 'real' photography (or better quality, and by the way, several of my photographer friends recommend Nikon over Canon), and with that I also want a really good software program for photoshop. And I also totally want a book reader, but I prefer the Nook, I believe it has color screen unlike the Kindle.
Well I hope you get some of the stuff you wish for ;) Happy birthday early!

I totally laughed that you linked to Charlotte Russe! Ha!

I'm not a modern decor girl, but I do think Target's Dwell line is pretty great.

Yay for turning 26! Yay for new bedding (I have a slight bedding addiction and a little ADD)!!!

Great way to...ahem..."hint" to your faithful, devoted followers what you need! bahahahaha! Wish I wasn't a starving student my darling because I would so get you the Steeve Madden pumps...right after I got a pair for myself..even though I would have nowhere,absolutely nowhere to wear them!
Also read your post below on breastfeeding...sigh...I loved breastfeeding. I miss it.

Oh, and I got the Nook instead of the Kindle. Oh wait! You were asking about that right? (I gotta look back at your email.) I went with the Nook because if there are problems you can take it back to a person at b&n instead of mailing it back into amazon. I'm really happy with it so far. I got the one that's compatible with Wi-Fi and 3G in case I'm ever somewhere you can't get Wi-Fi. You can get newspapers, magazines, and some library books on the Nook. My understanding of the Kindle is you can only get books offered on Amazon. I'm not totally clear on that but I believe that's the case. Anyway. Do a Google search comparing them. That's what I did. Good luck!

I've been looking for nude pumps as well. I'll have to check out the Target version. I'm saving for a DSLR. It will be a while, but I'll get there. Happy Birthday Month!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog...
