The 34th List

Alright, admitting:  In a few days I will be 34 years old.

You know I never really thought about my age before.  It was always just a bogus and blonde sounding, "Yeah I'm (insert number here)!"  And then I moved on.

This year I'm thinking - 34?

Don't get me wrong, I'm super stoked to be turning this age and I pray that it is a great year.  I also pray I have many, many more birthdays to enjoy.  However, I'm at this weird point where I feel like I'm in an age "purgatory" - my twenties, um where did they go?  Forties ahead.  What?  Why is that only six years away?

Then I think:  I spent 18 years wanting to be older, I got it.  Now I'm on number 34 wondering why getting older is the fastest phase I have been through.

Even my birthday "wish list" is getting older...

A snap shot at what I would love to go out and get for my birthday - cue the Kleenex.

1.  Good bake ware.



That is the Williams & Sonoma Traditional Finish Bake Ware set.  That is making my heart go crazy.  I know that sounds weird.  I don't care.  We're approaching that time of year when I bake like a crazy woman so it would be nice to have some proper bake ware.  I have my old school Wilton - and I love it - but it is showing its age now and well a girl likes pretty things.

2.  A can opener.


Y'all just put me on your prayer lists didn't you?  I know, I sound insane telling you I want a can opener for my birthday.  34, look at what you have made me!  Here's the deal I have a can opener that has been broken for two years and I still use that bad boy.  This would be a delicacy up in my kitchen. Bahaha.

3.  

Yeah a slow cooker.  The one I decided to show you is like the Cadillac of slow cookers.  It has all these cool settings and can do stuff that means a human is really no longer necessary to even touch it.  Fabulous.  Oh my gracious...I just called a piece of kitchen science fabulous...bless it!

4.  

Yes, I'm an old geezer.  I want the blanket you gave your grandma to cuddle with last year.  I don't know exactly why I'm craving a plush blanket so badly - but I am.  When I see them in stores I'm drawn to them and envision coffee, Downton Abbey, and my blankie.  Oh man, let's move on.

5.  Michael Kors


I have been on the hunt for a new fragrance and this just captivated me.  I love it so much.  This gets me some "not an old lady yet" points, right?

6.  Earrings, hell just jewelry!


These kind of melted my heart...they are topaz, my birth stone.  I just really love jewelry (costume and the real deal) and so any jewelry makes me super duper happy.  I think it makes us all a little super duper happy.  Ageless.

7.  Music


That girl.  Dayum, am I glad she's back.  I wondered if she would ever come back after having her baby.  Yes, that is Adele.  Of course to get her music I would have to have a car that has the adapter for my phone.  Oh who cares.  I want it.  Am I redeeming my old self now?

8.  I need these, for realz.



My Pack wear is very low.  I need to buff it back up.  (via ncstateshoppe)  I cannot be wearing t-shirts that say - Geritol.


Alrighty, I get it.  I am old.  My wish list has evolved into cooking products and sleeves.  

What are you wishing for this birthday or holiday season?  Share it!
