Phase 2 and Birthday Countdown

Today is Day 3 of Round 2 of Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. I only have 11 days to go until I get to start Phase 2 where I can start eating (healthy) carbs again...yay!

Now, onto more important things...

I know it's silly that I'm almost 30 and I still get excited about my birthday, but I don't care...It's not that I'm excited that I turn another year older or anything, I just really enjoy hearing people say, "Oh, it's your birthday today? Well, happy birthday!" Also, my selfish butt just likes to get presents. (Hey, at least I'll admit it.) In fact, here is my "offical wish list":

*Tom's Shoes--The best thing about Tom's is their cause, "One for One". For every pair of shoes you buy, they give one pair to people without shoes. I love their classics and glitters! I just haven't bought any yet because of the cost. That's why I want to wait 'til my b-day.

*HP Mini 210 10.1" Widescreen Netbook PC with Intel Atom N455 Processor & Windows 7 Starter--I don't neccesarily want this computer, mostly any laptop or netbook will do. I don't even need Windows 7. I just want to be able to blog, peek at Facebook, shop online, check emails, etc while my hubby sits at our desktop doing endless amounts of homework!

*Contacts--I know this is nothing but pure vanity, but sometimes I feel ugly when I wear my glasses. I pretty much have to wear them all the time beacause I need them when I am driving, working at the computer, or watching TV. They are also helpful when I'm shopping so I can spot sale signs easier :) (just sayin')...So, I want contacts for those times when I am so over having these black plastic rimmed things sitting on my face!

So today, I am starting my official b-day countdown...33 days 'til May 9th--The day I turn 28! Woohoo!!!
