New Blog: 10 Best Non-Existent Birthday Gifts
Yeah, sure, I know these don’t exist but I want them I want them I want them.
Birthday List
My mom and sister kept bugging me for a Birthday list. Here is what I sent them:
- Vodka.
- Chocolate.
- But no chocolate vodka!
- A tiny striped tie for my dog. Remember, he has a fat neck.
- Lifesavers but only rolls, no bags. I’m old school, ladies. I mean, like, butterscotch or root beer flavor. I mean, like, the kind an old man would pull out of his pocket with his handkerchief.
- Some lotion that smells like summertime.
- My Little Ponies, one pink and one sea green but really alive, please. Rainbow tails preferred.
- A house for the ponies. Or a condo. But, if it’s a condo, it should have an elevator and laundry.
- Like, a facial, maybe?
I hope I get all of it!!!
