\"\"<\/a><\/center>\n

Mother\u2019s Day 2010 is Sunday, May 9th. Since back in March, my dear husband has been asking me what I wanted for Mother\u2019s Day and for my birthday which is also this month. I had no answer. Now that it is the week of Mother\u2019s Day, I have a gazillion ideas. (Sorry, honey!) By not including the obvious (spending time with \u201cmy 3 guys\u201d\/the homemade crafts from the boys\/etc.), I have been able to narrow my Mother\u2019s Day\/Birthday wish list down to ten things\u2026<\/p>\n

1. A Drug Store Gift Card:<\/strong> I have said it before\u2026drug stores are to me what toy stores are to kids\u2026heavenly! I could spend hours in my local CVS or Duane Reade. When I did my \u201cbeauty makeover\u201d last month, I learned that my skin was dry. I would like to get a facial cleanser and exfoliator for dry skin along with a new mascara and light pink and light blue nail polishes. (I will get these things anyway. It would just be more fun to get them all at once with a gift card.)<\/p>\n

2. A MAC Gift Card:<\/strong> MAC is my new favorite makeup. I spent most of last month\u2019s expendable cash there when my friend took me on a makeover spree. There are still a couple of things that I would like to pick up including a bronzer, makeup primer and brow gel. I also want to get both a large and small makeup bag. (I\u2019m not sure if they sell those there. I didn\u2019t check.)<\/p>\n

3. Earrings:<\/strong> My boys like to play treasure hunt\u2026a lot. My earrings tend to be the treasure\u2026.leaving me with one from the set of almost every pair of earrings that I started with! Inexpensive but cute silver hoops or colorful, fun earrings would be nice. I don\u2019t want anything extravagant or pricey, because (more likely than not) I will end up with half a pair! (Life is too short for me to care that much\u2026at least until Sean gets a bit older.)<\/p>\n

4. A purse or handbag (whatever you call it):<\/strong> I want an every day medium sized bag in a neutral color \u2013 something that I can stick my writing notebook (and a toy or two into) and hit the road. I don\u2019t like little itty, bitty bags unless they are brightly colored, because I tend to forget about them!<\/p>\n

5. A Gift Card to a Clothing Store:<\/strong> For Spring\/Summer, I want a white shirt (I always want a new white shirt every year), a trench coat, jeans, a pair of strappy silver heel; and a cute little dress in a creamy pastel shade (pink\/yellow\/etc.). The Gap, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic and White House Black Market are some of my favorite stores at the moment.<\/p>\n

6. A Gift Certificate to the Spa:<\/strong> Pampering is my friend. If my husband wants to get me a \u201cpedicure of the month\u201d gift card and\/or a spa day consisting of a massage, body scrub and pedicure, I would not resist. Smile. I actually won a Spafinder gift certificate as a raffle prize tonight at a charity event that I attended. Prior to winning, I joked to my friends Isabel and Jen, \u201cLet me go do (such & such), so that I can come back and claim my spa prize.\u201d We all had a laugh when I actually did win it. (I\u2019m going to try that \u201cclaiming it before I get it\u201d with the #10 thing that I want!)<\/p>\n

7. A Barnes & Noble Gift Certificate:<\/strong> I love the written word and stationery. That is why I love Barnes & Noble stores. (The fact that they also now have free wi-fi helps too.) Anyway, their stores stock a few of my favorite things \u2013 books, stationery and thank you cards. I\u2019m getting the desire to read and write just thinking about it!<\/p>\n

8. Dance Fitness DVDs:<\/strong> Maybe I shouldn\u2019t put this on the list. My husband bought me the \u201cVideo Vixen\u201d video from Flirty Girl Fitness when I casually mentioned that it looked like it would be fun. I haven\u2019t used it yet. I\u2019m still intent on making physical exercise a part of my daily life. I did the Shred (Part I). It was great in regards to getting me in the habit of daily exercise, but it hurts my knees too much. Bummer. I\u2019ve been doing a variety of dance workouts \u2013 from Bollywood to hip hop \u2013 and they are both fun and a good workout. I read that Dance Off the Inches: Sizzling Salsa<\/em> was a good dance workout DVD. I used to take salsa classes back in my Single days. They were fun and a good workout, so I would try it out.<\/p>\n

9. Tech Toys:<\/strong> No, I don\u2019t want an iPad. I want a netbook or a new personal computer to replace my dinosaur PC. What I REALLY wanted was the Droid smartphone. I won\u2019t be getting one for a while though, because I just bought a new cell phone a couple of months ago. I\u2019ll save that wish for Christmas.<\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

10. A TRIP TO PARIS:<\/strong> It never hurts to ask, right? I\u2019m turning 37 on May 21st. Let\u2019s just say that I am committed to getting to Paris before I turn 40!<\/strong> Enough said.<\/p>\n

Enough about me. What do you want for Mother\u2019s Day this year? You never know who might be reading\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
