Happy September

Since it is officially my birthday month, I thought I'd take the liberty of publishing my Birthday/Christmas list. Not that I'm expecting many of you to actually take heed of my birthday - in fact, I would feel bad if many of you did, but there may be some 4 or 5 readers out there who are wondering what to get their little/big sister/sister-in-law/wife/daughter for her birthday and I figured the rest of you wouldn't mind reading about just what it is I want for my birthday/Christmas.

1. The Taste of Home Cookbook (cheaper at Sam's Club).
2. The Taste of Home Baking Book.
3. Additions to my Little House on the Prairie Series. I currently have numbers 1-4: Little House in the Big Woods (the Big Woods, by the way, are the Northwoods of Wisconsin), Little House on the Prairie, Farmer Boy and On the Banks of Plum Creek.
4. A new flat iron (hair straightener).
5. An aerobic step so I can maximize my Jillian Michaels workouts.
6. A Pilates DVD.
7. Sarasa pens (conveniently sold individually in the BYU bookstore).
8. Moccasin slippers, like the ones at Payless.
9. A really amazing grammar and punctuation book (This is so I can prove all my co-workers wrong when they use comma splices and incorrect possessives). But it has to be really amazing.
10. A Bundt pan.

I may make additions to the list as I think of more items, so check back often!
