call me columbus

while perusing the mecca of online shopping (ie amazon.com) i discovered this little treasure; it made my heart skip a beat and my mind wander to long-time-gone days of 2hr lunches at home with my connie. i immediately added it to my birthday list. along with new track pants, the livestrong nikes, zen shorts, no more heartburn, a day off, world peace...i'm getting away from myself. (i really would like to have them all, but i understand the latter 3 aren't exactly things you can pick up from target.) so, have i built up the anticipation enough for you? are you ready to see what it is i just don't think i can make it through my 27th year without? drumroll please...

oh and these are the shoes my feet cannot wait to get into (size 8, if anyone needed to know)...

and the book my eyes long to read over and over and over again...

and while you're at it, add this one too...

wonder what else i'll find on amazon to add to my list...?
