Hey Family! Can I Have Your Attention Please?

Dear Family,

It has been brought to my attention that my birthday is exactly 2 months away from today.  Have you started thinking about a present for me yet?  I know it's a little stressful.  After all, what do you get for the girl who has probably already bought the book she's been wanting and lives as a recluse during the summer months so she doesn't get out much?  Well, wonder no more!  Here's a list of items that would be perfectly acceptable to give to me!

Gift Certificates to Shutterfly
After all, I do have over 20,000 pictures that would like to see daylight rather than the inside of my computer system.  (No, I don't have to print all of them out, but if you ever want me to finish those scrapbooks, some are going to have to be ordered.)

Gift Certificates to Publix or Sweetbay
Since I am trying to eat healthier and I'm learning to cook a little bit more, gift certificates to the grocery stores are a welcome relief.   Those veggies are pretty expensive!

Gift Certificates to Target
The home of one-stop shopping for essentials and much better than that "other" place I used to go to for items.  I even found out that they're adding groceries to the store right around the corner so I may be able to do some grocery shopping there as well!

Gift Certificates for Boot Camp
As you know, I've been working with Carrie for the past 6 months to try and "get in shape."  I've lost a large amount of inches during this time and I would like to continue with my training so that I can stay on track.  Carrie offers many different programs and is diligent about responding to my questions and my emails.  She truly cares  about my welfare and my well-being, so I'd like to continue training with her.

Hopefully these have given you some ideas about what I would like to see in a few months.  In fact, they'd be perfect for that other holiday coming in another six months too.  As always, if you have questions, please let me know.  Yes, these are things I REALLY want.  No, I'm not kidding.  Have a great day and happy shopping!


Love,
  Your daughter, niece, granddaughter, aunt, cat's mom, sister, and other names I'm unaware of...

Geesh.....I wish you had told me this sooner....do you know how hard it was to get my money back for that "Date with Josh Groban" I paid to have delivered on your birthday?

You all are too funny! BTW--A date with Josh Groban is perfectly acceptable! :)
