July

July is my favorite month out of the whole year. I am off of work, it usually entails a trip to the beach, AND...it is my birthday month! I tease John because he is so hard to buy for. Well, he would love anything Auburn, but I can never get him to tell me a few things he wished he had. I usually end up buying him things I want him to have/things that would be useful to us as a family. I on the other hand can usually rattle off on any given day at least 5 things I would love to have! Here are a few things I am wishing for this birthday...

1. Kavu Bohemian Bag in Wallflower. How cute is this!!?? I have always wanted kind of an expensive purse but know I really don't need one because I like to trade them out. I think this purse is great and very versatile. These days I have a slew of things in my purse...this would stylishly organize all of it. And for $30 on amazon.com what's not to love??!!2. Nikon 50mm fixed lens. This is a very affordable lens and after doing my research they say it is the easiest to fall in love with for a very novice photographer like myself. I have also heard this is a great lens to have for taking pics of kiddos. At a little over $100 it is really reasonably priced for a lens!

3. New tennis shoes-My eyes are set on these Asics which happen to be on sale at zappos! Coincidence? I think not!! I have had my running shoes for 4 years. They have about had it. They have no support anymore.

4. Ipod with connection for my car. I know...welcome to the 21st century, Brooke. I have an Ipod. It is the 1st model that came out I think. It still works perfectly fine, however now that my cd changer in my car is broken and we are not willing to shell out $500 to fix it, I really want to be able to play my itunes in my car. My parents tried to buy me something to allow it to play in my car a few years ago and turns out that the model I have is too old and they don't make the connector thing for it. So this is the main thing I have been hinting at to John...for a while :)

SO here is to wishful thinking! A girl can dream right....especially during her birthday month. Happy July to me!

Ok - I am totally cracking up. Mark does the same thing to me - never has any idea of presents he wants. While I can rattle off a list that would make yours look short! :) And I am laughing that I too want the same lens, new tennis shoes, and another technological gadget (not an Ipod - I do not have one) but a Droid. :) And don't we share a birthday? Strange how similar ours lists look! :)

As for an Ipod connector- I just bought Seth one for Father's Day and we got the $70 Belkin one from Best Buy- it was AWFUL! Then I did some research and found the MONSTOR Ipod FM transmitter and it is WONDERFUL and way cheaper! Not sure where you can find it in stores, but you can find it online on sale from $20-$30!
