Birthday wish list

Seeing as my birthday is less than a month away, and we've been really trying not to spend any money on frivolous objects, I've been lusting after a few things that I've seen on other blogs and I've decided to put some of them on my birthday wish list. If you're interested in gifting me with any of these items, know that I will love you just a little bit more. ;) So what am I currently wishing for?

An Erin Condren life planner. Perhaps with a sweet picture of Nick on the front...or maybe just a pretty design. Since having Nick, I feel like I make plans and then immediately forget I've made them. Keeping important dates, birthday's, anniversary's, appointments, events, and holiday's straight has become tedious. And I'm terrible about checking my iPhone calendar. I'd much prefer to have somewhere to write down something I need to remember. And I know my sweet hubby would benefit from being able to check the schedule as well. For the past month I've been using a blank calendar that I printed off of Outlook, and have been filling it in with colored markers to make it appealing. But oh, how I'd love a pretty planner to put in my purse/work bag.

A Tervis Tumbler (or two). I've been lusting after a Tervis tumbler for a LONG time now...and my desire only intensified as I watched my sister-in-law jump waves with her tervis full of sangria - and she never spilled a drop. PLUS, no ocean water got in her cup, and had the cup been knocked out of her hand by a wave, it would have floated. At least for a short while. But my favorite feature about the Tervis is that it keeps your ice frozen for a LONG time, meaning your drink stays cold for a VERY long time, and the cup itself doesn't sweat! Again, I'm not too picky on design...maybe a George Mason Patriot's cup or a University of Michigan cup to use during my hubby's favorite time of the year (i.e. football season). Anything goes...so long as it comes with a lid and a straw -- a must in my book!

So far that's all I have on my list. Sad, I know. Only two items. But I'm sure as September 8th (aka the most wonderful day of the year) rolls around, I'll think of some fantastic things that I just can't live without and I will update this list.

Until then, please keep in mind that these items do not need to be birthday presents. They can also serve as "I just really wanted to give you a gift for the hell of it" presents. And I ALWAYS accept those.

I just looked at the life planner and now I must have one! It has everything I could ever need all in one little planner! Thanks for the idea!
