this cookbook of healthier baked options:
as well as this one, cuz momma needs to lay off the meat for a while:
this book of walton ford paintings so that i can frame some around the hizzy:
this globe for fiona's room (i'm not totally selfish):

and these...also for fiona...her birthday is also this month and i want to give a few of these as party favors and then keep the rest for decorations for the party.

thanks.

You are the awesomest almost 40 year old I virtually know. Lets just get 14 yards of that fabric and split it.
ReplyDeleteBrave soul announcing your big 4-0, although you're a poster child for how-to-be-more-awesome-than-ever. As for the wish list...I'll see what I can do... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat last pic is killing me. My birthday's in January — maybe if we both wish really, REALLY hard, it will come true!
ReplyDeleteThat is my favorite fabric ever! I have been dying to use it somewhere in my house!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great fabric for your new chair. I also would love to wake up to kittens and puppies every morning :)
ReplyDeletewhen ur gay 40 means ur a troll.
ReplyDeletewhen ur a straight woman it means ur a cougar.
crone is reserved for later, much later.
Happy almost birthday! I hope you get everything on your impressively healthy list. Oh and the globe lamp is spectacular. We want to name our first little girl Fiona. You have such great taste : )
ReplyDeleteXX Kate
There is no way you are a crone...that is reserved for the real oldies like me....xv
ReplyDeleteWell well, the big 4...0. I am 2 years from it but I kinda can't wait. I think there is something cool about 40. Anyway, I love the cupcake book and the cute animals. Thanks for all your well wishes last week.
ReplyDeleteWell, than I am a crone plus three. Welcome, Dahling. And happy and healthy, too. I think these suggestions are all wonderful HINTS and I am loving that globe for my daughter's room as well.
ReplyDeleteMr. Charming and Smart here to remind ever aging wife that your birthday is actually on Sunday not Saturday.
ReplyDeleteNo reason to crone the queen before her time.
Did you not get the memo? 40 is the new 30! Hello?!?!? Here's to hoping both of your outstretched hands are filled with wishes!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is just beautiful. And that globe??? So fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club old lady..what took you so long? and dang! You make 40 look good!!! PS your husband called, he said go ahead and get everything on your list!
ReplyDelete40??? I never though I'd say "my youngest child is 40". How depressing is that?
ReplyDeleteDad
Excuse me, Ms. Queenie B-day Cha Cha Momma soon to be Cullen, but just exactly where does the infamous Nicolas BB fit into the white fluffy quarter you so desire?
ReplyDeleteI image him lounging on a pale green velvet (to match his eyes) throne next to the largest feed bowl possible while the white fuzzies look on.
hot damn u look good! definitely NOT A CRONE. (that's much later now)
ReplyDeletehappy almost birthday & hope some of your wishes come true (especially the globe foe fiona- love it!)
xooxoxox
The truth? 40 is WAY better than 30-something. You're gonna love it.

secret word: wingil
i have it all in my trunk..i will drop it off tomorrow..Happy early birthday girl!
ReplyDeleteThe 40!
ReplyDeleteI would totally hump Mark Bittman.
We did the pom-poms for my 5 yr old's bday and they were SPECTACULAR! (and so cheap and easy. Like you.)
xo
How great are your dad and the Mister for stopping by! Awwww!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy early 40, girl. I hope you get everything your big heart desires and then some!
hey 40,
ReplyDeleteyou can make those pom pom things - i'm gonna email you a link. my sister made them for my nieces birthday. very easy. very cheap. very cute.
happy birthday week to YOU!!!!!!
Like SGM Said, the tissue paper puffs = best/cheapest decoration ever. You don't even have to buy them like that, because you can make that shite for about $.50 a peice. Layer sheets of tissue on top of each other (all one solid color or varying colors, duh, will give you stripes or not)then fold them, accordian/fan style, back and forth on itself, until you have a stack of accordian folds, use a twist-tie (extras come in your trash bag box - a la Hefty Sack), tie it in the middel, cut a scalloped edge, and proceed with pulling the layers apart.
ReplyDeleteThere! (Did that make ANY sense? You probably already knew this anyway, but I couldn't resis)
So this is my first time to your blog... I followed a link from MHLP because I liked what she got you for your birthday. My birthday is tomorrow and my husband has no Idea that Rob is the top of my list. Just a cuddle though... I am not the cheating kind! I am happily married, but that man could make me unhappy real quick! Anyhow, happy birthday and I am a follower now!
