stuff i'm going to give myself for my birthday -- the top ten

1. a full and complete head to toe physical, wherein my lovely upper west side gynocologist tells me i've lowered my cholesterol drastically since my last test and, as usual, gives me a clean bill of health.
   
2. a digital camera with all the accessories, to capture more of these kodak moments that won't stop happening to me.
3. an ipod, for crying out loud. a freakin' ipod.
4. a membership to the Whitney Museum and a renewed membership to MoMA.
   
5. the usual bi-monthly must-do beauty treatments: manicure, pedicure, eyebrow wax at jeniette as usual but this time the monthly facial at Bliss instead of mario badescu -- preferrably in soho (because it's the original location), and probably with my soon-to-be sister-in-law, emmett's fiance melinda. why? so we can lounge in and out of the steam room and graze at the mini-buffet while we wait. where could she possibly do that in atlanta?
   
6. a stupidly super-cheap string bikini i found for sale online at victoria's secret.
7. a subscription to BUST magazine. and last but not least:
   
8. three enid collins handbags.
9. three diane von furstenburg vintage wrap dresses. (is it possible for anyone to look bad in those dresses?)
   
10. three watches: one for sports/working out, one for everyday and one to commemorate my birthday.
