my totally extravagant and mostly unrealistic birthday wish list!

today is my birthday! 29 years ago i began my life. crazy! it really freaks me out when i think about how the simpsons has been on air for 20 years, and that i used to watch the very first episodes on the tracey ullman show - that was 20 years ago?! crazy!!!

so today, i thought i would take the chance and share my

"in my wildest dreams" wish list:

* a super fun tree house with a rope swing, a climbing wall, and maybe even a couple elephants in the yard! there would also be a stargazing platform and a great view of the ocean. two blocks away would be a cute strip of cafes, bakeries, and vintage stores. there would be a "bikes only" path to get there so i could ride my bike without a helmet, preserving my cute hairdo {am i right ladies?}.

you would all be invited for the weekend!

* an offer from modcloth to give me any dress of theirs for free whenever i wanted one!

* a cute scooter for getting around town, complete with an invisible bubble guaranteeing my safety.

* a super huge, inspiring, cute art studio that is always stocked with all sorts of fun stuff and always cleans itself up after me!

* a job where i could decide what sort of fun thing to do that day {bake? create flower arrangements? make hair clips? act? paint? make books? make gift baskets? dance? sew dresses? sing? knit window garlands? talk to people? travel? write? build

mobiles?}, and still get paid!

* be a backup singer for zooey deschanel! {la-la-la!}

* a private music festival with arcade fire, sufjan stevens, radiohead, and sigur ros in an old stone cathedral!

and that's all! not too much to ask for, right?

;D
