Me and My Extravagant Birthday Wishes

March 20, 2008 | Filed in: Lucky Me, Pictures, Quirky Me, meijer

Today is my 33rd birthday. Why yes! Happy birthday to me!

You know how Oprah does her favorite things shows and talks about how reasonably priced some of the items are, but really they’re only reasonably priced if you make $260 million a year? Yeah, so I’m going to share with you my favorite “reasonably priced” gift ideas. In the event that you are reading this and are Oprah-rich (or Oprah herself..hi Oprah!! squee!), please feel free to buy one (or all) of these things for me.

Thanks in advance to my well-to-do readers. Your generosity is most appreciated.

I know it’s wrong to covet thy fellow blogger’s camera, but I think I really MUST have a Canon 40D just like Casey’s. She let me hold it and caress it and hear it’s intoxicating clicking sound. Accompanying lenses and gear would be a lovely way to complete the gift and commemorate my special day.

While I realize I’m one of last people on Earth who doesn’t own these, I’m finally ready for my iPhone, iPod, and macbook. One of each, please.

A $5000 gift card to Williams-Sonoma should cover most of my much coveted items. Oh the cookies I could bake.

I’m a huge fan of my Honda Pilot. However, I’d like to have something a bit more sporty for those rare occasions that I’m alone and driving around blaring Britney Spears with the windows down. A Porsche Carrera GT, silver, with black leather interior would certainly fit the bill.

And if you’re feeling super generous, I would truly enjoy a week long vacation at a 5-star resort in Hawaii, complete with a personal butler and masseuse (a good masseuse, though. Not one that will torture me). My children would need reliable childcare while I’m away, so if I would need some recommendations for a nanny.

I realize that it’s highly unlikely I’ll actually get any of these for my birthday, but in the event you’ve made a purchase for me, please let me know in advance when to expect delivery of my gifts. I want to make sure I’m home and not out shopping at Meijer.

Share with others

Happy 33rd Birthday, Jennifer! (My 33rd is on March 29.)

I, too, would be perfectly satisfied with any one of these gifts. I think the vacation and nanny sounds most suitable, though, if your well-to-do readers are feeling extra generous today!

Hope it is a happy day and you get a little something you want!

Happy Birthday!!

Sorry I can’t help you out with any of those fab presents, but if I could….

Happy Birthday girlfriend! If I were Oprah or even if I associated with Oprah I would certainly buy you atleast one of those items on your list. I also think since you were so kind to plug these great companies that each one should shower you with these things on your birthday. A girl can dream.

Happy Birthday!

Oh those sound nice. I’ll be your freind if you let me share!!!

I could make the hawaii thing happen for you. my parents live there (I was actually at that exact picture you posted above) but….it would not be exactly like you planned. if you don’t mind staying with the construction crew and skipping the 5 star thing, give me a call.

Oh, and Happy birthday!!!!

Happy BirdieDay!

I confess - my birdieDay wishlist is far more mundane. I’d love:

Self-neatening children

Magnets on socks so single socks stuffed in the VCR are a thing of the past

372 clones of myself so I could get all the work done…

Be good to yourself on your birthday! May you have a wonderful time.

Best wishes,

Barbara

Happy 33! For me, that was a very good year. Hope you get all that you wish for, and more.

happy, happy, happt birthday my friend! if i had the money oprah has, i surely would give you everything on your list!!! but since i have like, you know, a small fraction of that, i will send you good vibes!!

shaz’s last blog post..Life sucks and then you die

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!! How exciting!

If I win the lottery, I will be sure to promptly notify you that your gifts are en route. But until then you can leave to go shopping with ease..

Happy Birthday!! You and I covet similar things!

Happy Birfday to you!

I would love the same camera - still kicking myself for being cheap before our youngest’s birthday and panic buying the crappy one we have when even at the time I really wanted a DSLR - *sigh* some day!

Happy Birthday!

I’m playing MegaMillions tomorrow. If I win, I’ll be happy to send you a little something if you promise to send me cookies…

CourtneyRyan’s last blog post..it brings you back…

Happy Birthday! And I hope you get at least one of those gifts - if not all of them…

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

And I wouldn’t send you anything less than the Canon 5D. I’ll fedex it to you overnight, k?

Until then - tell Tate togive you the ROYAL treatment today!

MamaGeek’s last blog post..Wild Thing

Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a great day! The least Oprah could do is send you two all expense paid tickets to Chicago to see her show and do some shopping on Michigan Avenue.

Love all of your choices …. so much, in fact, that I’m thinking any one of them would make a fabulous “push present” ….. sadly I don’t think D. is even aware of such a thing.

tulipmom’s last blog post..This Post is All Over the Place …. Sort of Like Me

Happy happy birthday!

All together!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOO YOU!
HAPPY BIIIIIRRRTHDAY, DEAR JENNIFERRRRR!
HAAAPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOO YOOOOUUUUU!!!!
AND MANY MOOOOORRE!!!!!

((birthday hugs)))

Hope your 33rd year is the best for you so far!
Oh, and hoping tha tyou get at least ONE of your coveted gifts. I agree - you should get something - store credit at least - for plugging these wicked awesome products!

Happy Birthday Jennifer! I’ll be 33 this year, too.

I’ve learned to ask for three things that don’t cost much but are priceless in my book.

1) an extra hour of sleep
2) a meal I did not cook myself
3) a clean house (not cleaned by me)

I think I could go the rest of my life on those 3.

Happy Birthday Day! Hope you have a wonderful day. And thanks for your comment on my blog. I am not “in the family way”…Yeah for me!

Happy Birthday!

Here’s to hoping you get at least ONE thing from your list. Or diamonds. Which, if you wanted, you could hock to pay for all the other stuff!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday! Sorry I can’t help out with the presents, although I will as soon as I win the lottery.

If you get an extra Ipod, can I have it? I’m pretty sure I’m the only person I know who’s never even used one.

Jerseygirl89’s last blog post..Champagne Stitches

Happy 33rd Birthday you spring chicken you!

p.s. If you need a personal assistant to accompany to you to Hawaii, then I’m there.

Happy Birthday. I’m wishing you all the above, plus (in reality) maybe a few moments of peace and quiet today.

Have a great day!
T.

Teri’s last blog post..Stripes!!

Happy Bday! I turn 33 as well on Monday. How cool is that?

I really hope you get the camera. The sports car, vacation, nanny, ext would be awsome… but I would love to see what you did with the camera.

I hope you have a nice relaxing day!

And I’m 34 next week!

And my birthday list pretty much matches yours. But I think all I’m getting is a wooden bracelet from Red Envelope. I’ll just pretend I’m wearing it on a tan wrist while driving in my Porche to the beach in Maui to take fabulous pictures with my SLR Canon.

Happy Birthday Jennifer! I hope you get a bit of magic today
OOOhhh, that’s a pretty camera. I can’t decide between that one and the rebel XTI.

Happy Birthday!!!

rachel’s last blog post..No expectations

*giggle* I’ve been waiting all week for this post!

I wouldn’t mind the 40D myself…but I may actually end up with a Nikon. I’ve been snapping away with my own cruddy camera trying to take artsy fartsy pics this week…and for one of them that I showed to hubby I got “you really want one of those cameras, don’t you?” *snicker* I can almost feel the heft of the pretty camera in my hands. No, it won’t be a 40D…but it could be an XTI (with lenses) or comprable Nikon (with lenses). I can feel my budget SOARING *g*

Oh, and as for everything else…well…if you get it, you have to share!! Especially a vacation with a nice masseuse. I definitely need one of those!

Sadie’s last blog post..Thursday Thirteen #7

Happy birthday friend! I hope you have a GREAT one!

Aw, and all I got you was this comment.

*snicker*

Today is Rae’s birthday too! I forgot that ya’ll had the same birthday. Hope you have a wonderful day. Too bad we can’t get together for some Krispy Kreme , some Ugly dip and a few drinks.

happy birthday you fine YOUNG thing.
Im in for the car.
but you need to come along.
Ill bring the coathanger.

please to dress in all black and wear your running shoes just in case.

MizFit’s last blog post..Guest Chef Time!

Happy Birthday!! Funny, I did a little list of the oddball crap I want for my upcoming (as in within the next few months or less - gotta start early) birthday, but I think I’d like to re-do it and have something like a laptop instead of the gallon of olive oil I chose. You’ve clearly thought things out in advance, and that’s good Happy, Happy!!

(the other) Maggie’s last blog post..Thursday Thirteen 3/20/08

Okay, I read “personal butler” and thought it was strange that anyone, especially my bloggy friend Jennifer, would want some “personal butter”. I thought, how wonderful it would be to have those little butter pats wrapped in gold foil at the table in the morning. My personal butter, if you will.

I did think it odd that personal butter would be right up there with a trip to Hawaii but to each her own!

Oh and take me with you to Hawaii if Oprah calls and I’ll do the same for you! I’ll be sure to arrange the masseuse and personal butter.

Happy birthday!

I can’t believe you don’t have an i-pod! They are fantastic.

I would like all of the stuff on your list - well, except for the car. It seems like that might be an unreasonable purchase for me when I live in this winter-possessed land.

Oh, and I should send you my Kitchen Aid mixer. I got one for my birthday last year and haven’t used it yet (shh, don’t tell my mother).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. May your champagne wishes and caviar dreams come true!

Michelle’s last blog post..the breakfast club

Here’s sending you a virtual birthday gift *poof* LOVIN the camera. How about some colored goldfish to replace the ones that met their demise in your pantry? Nah, not indulgent enough. Rite Aid has a big sale on Easter Candy. Cream Eggs are evil. That would be good. Chocolate is always good. Enjoy.

Sarah, the Spunky Mommy’s last blog post..Finally. Hot Water.

Happy 33rd! I’d love to say that I’m one of your well to do readers and can buy you all those fabulous things.

But , well, then I’d just be flat out lying.

I am sending you birthday love though!

Mwah!

Worker Mommy’s last blog post..WWYDW - Installment 2

Nope, you’re not alone….I haven’t joined the Mac cult yet, either. The only Mac product in my house is my SON’s iPod.

Happy birthday! I hope ALL your wishes come true! (Will you take me with you on that super-sweet spa vacay?)

Well, Happy Happy Birthday…You spring chicken….

I hope that all of your wishes come true.

I’m sending all of your requested gifts over via UPS. They should be arriving within 5-7 business days!
Kathryn’s last blog post..Birthday Boy

Happy birthday. If you find you accidentally get an extra of any of your presents? I have none of those things.

Anglophile Football Fanatic’s last blog post..We Interrupt this Blog: Blame in on the LAME!

Great choice with the Canon! That is a way better camera than the Rebel, and well worth the extra money.

Happy belated birthday! I love that $5000 should cover MOST of the cost at Williams Sonoma - I can do such damage there is a very short amount of time. I congratulate you on your exquisite taste of gifts and if two people give you an iphone, maybe you could offer one up as a bloggy surprise? Cause that’s one thing I’ve had my eye on for quite some time:)

Happy birthday! I am here a few days late getting caught up so I am sure you already have all those lovely things and I will just send you good wishes. I know you don’t want too much clutter…

Sorry you didn’t have a better birthday. If it makes you feel any better - I covet your Honda Pilot. Oh man how I want one!

Happy Birthday. I tried to buy something off the list, but they had all been purchased. Kudos.

I would have been here *on the day* you know, but it was *also* my Mom’s 63rd Birthday (gawd help me if she finds this comment, lol), and she requires much fete-ing.

I love me some March 20th females!! (Had two friends w/ that bday growing up!)

Hope you got some Birthday cheer this weekend!
