Grown Up Birthday List by Ami Blamires (No, not Amy Grant)

As we get older, we come to realize the things in life that really matter. Things like birthday gifts and big celebrations seem unimportant. Age is, after all, just a number, right?

I could not disagree more. I've decided that aging quietly is the worst idea ever. I would like everyone to know that in precisely two weeks, I will be celebrating another year survived in mortality. And, since there's nothing good about entering my late mid-twenties, I've compiled the following list of worldly items that may ease my passing:

- A garlic press.
- A Magic 8 Ball.
- A fancy hummingbird feeder.
- A toaster.
- A grapefruit knife.
- Glow bracelets.
- A Scentsy Plug-In. (Camu Camu is my favorite.)
- An aloe vera plant.
- Twister.
- A white orchid. (I'll try not to kill this one. Uh... it could even be fake.)
- Sour worms.
- A bobblehead of myself.
- A good flashlight.
- A John Wayne refrigerator magnet.
- A strobe light.
- An air pump.
- A lover.

Just a few quick, affordable ideas for my adoring fans. Happy Almost-My-Birthday to you all!

I happen to think that the fact that you are here to enter your mid twenties is a VERY GOOD THING! And my opinion COUNTS!
