Friday Preparations
John's birthday is Friday- what should I get him. He gave me a list yesterday. Here it is-
bday list 2010
Shirts
iPhone 3G with no contract
a better weight bar
more weights
work out clothes
more 30 rock
pajamas for winter
A smaller backpack designed to carry a laptop
Awesome movies with german voice overs
Disney movies in german
Amazon gift cards
iTunes gift cards
I found a backpack at REI. It wouldn't get here in time. I wish there was a way to skip birthdays sometimes.
Oh wait- that is what gift cards are. Awesome- at least they will get here by Friday.
Or we could trade- I could get myself a bunch of stuff for my birthday and he could do his own. Here is my birthday list.
1. Insulation in the basement
2. Echino Japanese fabric
3. Minky fabric
5. A new car. Just ask Sara to pick it out. (Ok I think it is a funny tradition to put a car on every present list. Probably it isn't.)
6. A serger
7. Something from Jonathan Adler
8. Tile in the kitchen.
9. mint meltaways. Santa did NOT bring them. I guess girl scout cookies are also good. I like the peanut butter ones.
10.White frames from the Pottery Barn.
11. Amy Butler Rug
12. Fleuvog shoes.
OK I don't know why it is so hard for John- just thinking of presents makes me want things. Oh wait- maybe he actually wants these things. I never catch him just filling up a shopping cart online to feel like he has things- if they are in my cart they are a part of me.
What in the world should we do for John's birthday?

I say just go out to dinner and buy him a DVD, but that's because that's probably all he really wants. I bought Andy a frame for the picture I bought him years ago. He made a frame for it, but it fell apart, so I bought a new one. Yeah, I'm real romantic. =)
