Birthday!

I know I did a post like this around Christmas.  To be honest, I don't do posts like this because I really expect people to get me anything on this list...it's more fun just to make wish lists, you know?   But if you are struggling to figure out what to get me for my birthday, here are a bunch of fun options!


1. Les Miserables on DVD.
Seriously; this should be a no-brainer.

 Update: Nathan got me this. :)

2. Cute rubber boots for gardening

This spring I bought a plot in the community garden that's about half a block away from our apartment. I'm super excited to plant, but also super nervous, because I have no idea what I'm doing. 

3. Old-timey stuff. 
If you've ever been to my apartment you should be quite aware that I'm in love with classy stuff.  A couple current classy things on my wish list include record player (with horn) and phone.  Surprisingly, you can find modern remakes of these items on Amazon, which I would probably prefer, since then they would actually work.












4. Books!  Duh!  

Once again, I really like books.  I would say, "Get me anything!" but I learned from last Christmas that, well, I can't say that to everyone.  So let me say this: "Get me good books!"  Here are some I'm currently desiring:
Paper Towns by John Green
Silmarillion by Tolkien
The Book of Common Prayer, paperback
Reflections on the Psalms and The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis
The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald.  The blue copy with the face on it.  Paperback.

Not to be confused with a top hat-sized rabbit.

5. A rabbit-sized top hat and black bow tie.
I am having a Great Gatsby party in a month.  I don't think I need to explain myself any further.







6. A 2013 Minnesota State Park Vehicle Pass.
I'm so excited that summer is happening again this year!!


7. A Hennepin Theater Trust Gift Certificate. 
I don't really remember what my life was like before Les Miserables.
 

8. A Bike Basket!
Can't you see Milton's ears flopping in the breeze? 


9. Earrings or other fun jewelery.
90% of the jewelery I own is from, like, when my mom used to sell jewelery at the flea market.  I want some new jewelery...some fun, vintagey stuff.  

10.  A conglomeration of stuff I asked for before!
Most of you did a very bad job getting me stuff for Christmas, so I still have a lot on my list from a few months ago.  I still need cute stationary, literary t-shirts, and the new Mumford and Sons CD.   Please revisit my blog post from Christmas to try and redeem yourself for my birthday. http://whan-that-aprill.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
