This year I have made the final birthday decision. See, every year everyone tells me how impossible I am to shop for and what do I want????? I never want anything. Trouble is that when I want something, I go get it. I also don't want the most interesting of things. When Mr. F asked me what I wanted for my birthday I gleefully shouted, "An irrigation drip system!!". That apparently wasn't the expected answer. It doesn't matter anyway you know. The begonias had to be brought in before the heat wiped them out. So I can wait for the water system. I want it to be solar powered anyway... Instead of racking my brains, this year I took a whole new approach. When I was told how hard I was to shop for I responded by telling them how not true that is and then told them to get me whatever they thought I should have. Surprise me. Man oh man, it was worth it! I don't normally get into material things, but the bounty bestowed on me this year is excellent enough to share. Here's a little list of some of the things I was presented with.
My mom got me pearls. It's my birthstone. Normally I think pearls are hideous but didn't she find this bracelet/earring set that are beefy enough to call cool? Yes she did. That's why she's my mom and not yours.
Mr. F's mom got me one of those flat floatie things for the pool. This is BAD ASS since I was lying out next to the pool on the cement. When I got to hot I would jump in and then I would have to dry off my hands to pick my book back up. Now I can just float around and sun and read all at the same time while staying coooool. Sick. Check it out. Mine is better, but you get the picture.
Solar powered garden decorations. There are six of them. Two dragonflies, two butterflies, and a pair of hummingbirds. They go from blue to green to red. I have three going up the front walk and three out back in the plants. Those are the types of things I wish for in Lowes but never actually buy because I can't justify it. Staring at them hopefully finally got me somewhere!
SHUT UP!!! A CUCKOO CLOCK!! I live for things like this. Every time it goes off I either stiffen with excitement or cheer. I wonder how long Mr. F can take this kind of stuff. It's almost been a year people. He's a rock.
A really neat hummingbird chime. I might cut the chimes off because even without them it's super to look at. It's not that I don't like chimes, I just don't like to hear them all the time and when I don't want to hear them, I really don't want to hear them. Like enough to get scissors.
Metal dog art. It looks nothing like this, but you get the idea. It looks a lot like Tabitha actually. Spot over the eye and everything. The tail is on a spring so it wags and the back leg is on a hinge. Hidden compartment metal dog art? I dare say!
Impossible to shop for my ass! All I have to do now is get some thank you cards. I dig on thank you cards. My favorite one to date was the one my dad sent me. It was classic. Nothing says loving like a thanks for not fucking up and making me ashamed card.
OMG. I almost forgot! Remember the Jeep post? Right. Well, I was going through every last Jeep ad on CL when I came across a 1982 CJ7. It's a beauty! Like this but grey with black rims. It's all redone and a very decent price. I am in love with CJ's. I can't stand it!! I'm looking at it tomorrow. I'll tell you how it goes. If all goes well, I'll be putting the Dodge up for sale tomorrow night. YAY!
