Always Thinking of Others

Well, folks, it’s almost that time of year again.  I am sure I don’t need to remind you because you have it in RED on your calendar: MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING!  You have 10 shopping days left, so in case you’re stumped about what to get me, I thought I’d give you a few ideas, like I did last year.  Because that worked out pretty well for me!  So, because I’m always trying to make life easier for you, here ya go.

JENNY’s BIRFDAY LIST:

1) New styles from Lands’ End.  Oh em gee have you SEEN the new catalog? Me want!  And don’t think it doesn’t KILL me that I am too pregnant to wear much of it right now!  But as I will be un-pregnant in just a few short months, I would like these for my birthday anyway.  They are so pretty they will distract from my baby fat!   I would like this cardigan and shell from the Blissful Knits collection. I will need at least two different colors in each, pleeeeeaaase:

Also, I will need a couple of each of these fab comfy tees. Love the feminine details! Surprise me with the colors, I trust you! Just make sure you get a size medium in everything!

2) Speaking of clothes…one of my FAVORITE retailers, Shade Clothing, is going out of business. 🙁  I can hardly imagine why as Bobby claims that SURELY I must have bought enough to keep them in business…but they are.  So that is the bad news.  The good news is that they are liquidating EVERYTHING so you can get some really great prices on stuff for ME!!!!!!!!!  I would like one of everything they still have available, in a medium please.    Especially this Embroidered Cami and V-Neck boyfriend tee.  Multiple colors in the tee would be SUPER!

Ok, so, moving on from clothes (bottoms are JUST gonna have to wait til I lose all the baby fat!)…

3) I need a nice pair of everyday earrings.  My suggestion are these Effortless earrings from Lia Sophia.   They are only $22, they are perfect for what I need, and they are sold by Melissa Ballweg who has supported our last two Dayton Mom’s Night out parties.  Really, you cannot go wrong!

4) Maternity Clothes. Seriously I have no shirts.  And the world does not want to see me pregnant and t*pless.  So do the world a favor and give the birthday girl a gift certificate to Old Navy, Motherhood, Gap, or somewhere else I can get something to put over this bump!  Sadly, I already bought out the *two* maternity shirts that Shade has left in my size. They are hopefully on their way to me as I write this!  If you really want to get me a *specific* item, go for this tee from Old Navy (ahem, it comes in two colors, *cough*Medium*cough*):

5) Finally, let’s talk shoes.  I mean my butt may be larger for awhile in 2010 but my feet I expect to retain their size 7.5 as they did in previous lives.  And mama wants these Exitosa black boots from You by Crocs for the winter.  My old black boots died a sad death when the heel broke off at BlissDom last year. SO it seems only fitting to move on to wedges, yes?

So, how do you like my birthday choices? I’m pretty much in love with all of them…I need pretty things to cover the grief I feel at getting to be such a GEEZER!
