Guysss, my birthday is in like 8 days!

My mom keeps bugging me about giving her a list of things .I want her to get me, but .I seriously have no idea! I found a hoodie .I really want, but that's only like $35, &she spends about $100 for my birthday.

This is probably my last chance to ask for stuff for myself, so .I wanna make it good!

Annnny suggestions at all!?
I am at such a loss.

Hmm... If ur a techie, u could always ask for a blackberry or something... But those are more than 100 dolla... Maybe you could ask for new shoes or maybe (i dunno some people find this tactless and others don't mind it) you could just ask her for the money, and then you save it until you find something you really like?

See, that's what .I thought, but she seemed kinda bummed when .I suggested that. She really wants to get me stuff that .I want. I told her to get me a new laptop, lol, 'cause mine is horribly broken. But laptops, at the cheapest, are like $600. Birthdays suck when you get older, haha.

Ahhh they do, this is true (that rhymed... Lol)

anywho... Hmmm, maybe you could ask for a gift card to your favorite place? Then it's like sorta getting you something? Or maybe you could ask her to help fix your old laptop, so she doesn't hafta get you a new one?

My mom is the opposite of your mom I suppose, lol. She just gives me the money, or whatever she wants to get me, she's usually good at giving me what I want. I hardly ever ask her for stuff, so she never knows what I want.

My boyfriend on the other hand... Lol, he just offered to buy me a cockatiel I saw at the petstore the other day, I want it sooo bad. But its expensive and so is the cage, so he offered to help me out with the costs, cuz i'ma poor college student who works at a pizza place. Pffft. Lol.

But no, why don't you surf the web and see if you like anything? Are you into purses? I saw a bunch of new stuff at the coach and dooney and burke websites.

Ahahahaha. Wow. I don't know what I was smoking when I typed that word as it is no where close to what I meant to say "cockatiel" as in the bird. I had one when I was little, and would like one again.

Yaay i'm glad I helped out with the purse idea. Lol. You know... Costco always has good laptops for cheap? Mebbe you can save up ur money for a new one. You know I saw this reallllly cute coach purse that was kinda like a patchwork quilt, it was awesome. I wanted to get it but it was almost 300 dolla... If I got it, I would have no money left to put in it.

Well chica, happy early bday, and I never got to congratulate you on becoming preggers, so congrats on that as well.

Lol! The same thing happend to me one time when I was talkin' about my .penis.A.T.I.E.L. And it took me awhile to figure it out!! But .Shasta, those birds are so smart. My husband got one for me last year for my birthday. Unfortunately I had to get rid of her since her lil buddy died (a little parakeet, that was old Sad )and I don't have the time for her that she deserves. But she would talk and she will whistle almost any tune she hears. I miss her so much, but I know she went to a good home.


.Krissy, you should get a bus/plane ticket to good ol' .W.I. For your b-day :p then you can meet my munchkin and see how much fun you have to look forward to. I swear I never had this much fun babysitting!!

*edited to add-
if you do get a 'bird' I would get a hand fed baby from a breeder....Because most of the birds in the pet stores aren't hand-fed, and are much more expensive.

What if you ask for a ew small things for yourself arcadia, honestly why not get a hoodie and maybe a gift cerftificate that way you can get what you want as well as make her happy by getting you something, you really enjoy!

Animals are a bad idea, cause you dont know how they will act around children and your lucky to have time for them when baby is born.

Hey cool about the hoodie. What brand is it? Did u ask ur mom about a purse yet?


Ooooo guess what, I bought my tiel today, he's a cuuuuuttttiiiieeee. Lol I had a tiel when I was 4 and it lasted me until my freshman year of highschool. His name was birdie. He could mimic the phone, the microwave, he could say his name, he could whistle the cucaracha (my family is mexican lol), he whistled at females that passed by his cage, and he could make kissy noises and blow rasberrys. He was awesomeeee. He was also obsessed with feet for some reason.


Arcadia, lol maybe it's good ur getting another animal sounds like you've got a handful. I've seen previous pics of ur cats btw and they're adorable.

Edited becuz i'm horrible with my grammar today
