As I get older, all I really "want" for my birthday is to spend lots of time with the people I love. And bake birthday things. And get my way all month long (mwah ha ha ha).
But, in all seriousness...this year for my birthday month I'd like the following:
1. I would like my favorite contestant on the Batchelorette to marry Emily. One F Jef, I dig you. You are super cool. You would be a great birthday surprise...and I wish my hair could poof like yours.
2. This dog. His real name is Fizzy but I would probably call him Chewy. Doesn't he look fresh from a Star Wars movie? I saw him on the beach a few weeks ago when I was visiting my best friend. He stole my heart when he waddled over to our sandy beach chairs. Chewy and I would be great pals and probably be totally snarky about how Jabba can't lose any weight. Anyone willing to dog-nap? That would be lovely.

3. An ice-cream maker! I keep seeing lots of seriously awesome recipes for seriously yummy ice cream and sorbets. It would also make an awesome wedding registry present...except, I can't see myself asking my love bunny to propose this summer just so I can have a kitchen gadget. He might think I want to marry him just to make ice cream. So totally not true. But kind of.
4. A synonym for the M Word that I hate so much (M-O-I-S-T). Yuck. Haven't found one that compares and doesn't make my ears hurt. How will I ever describe my M Word Cupcakes?
5. World Peace.
Well, I think that should do it for this year. Except that I still haven't found the PERFECT birthday cupcake recipe yet. Perhaps that will be #6. I want to try a Tiramisu concoction but last night the strawberries in the grocery store were calling my name. They were all hey, girl...what's your number? I gave in. They were too cute so I gave them my digits and took them home. This morning I went berry crazy and made Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes AND White Chocolate Strawberry Blondies. Let me just tell you, they were both absolutely amazing. I normally don't snack too much on my goodies...but today I just couldn't help myself. The cupcakes were M word, light and lemony. Which, really just means that I can eat more of them without feeling sugar overload. The Blondies were super delish too...though my baking time for them WAY longer than the recipe called for. I thought I was going to have a kitchen fail.
Disaster was avoided, so I'm going to indulge my FULL self in a tiny nap followed by a spray tan.
Here's hoping you love your birthday month as much as I do!

Fizzy/Chewy looks like the best pup of all time. Also, I'm so with you on the M word!
