It was brought to my attention last night by some amazingly awesome friends, that I will not get kicked of the island if I don’t figure my life out by the time I turn 30 in a month. Shocker, I know. Basically the consensus is I’m worrying about something that is completely mental. That I need to relax about it, because I really, truly have enough to worry about. Also? That I’m not the only one who had no clue what they wanted to do at 30 years old. Which really is good to know, because I’ve been freaking out for days now. This is why one needs great friends. Friends to listen to you whine and cry, who will also tell you to CHILL OUT ALREADY!
My mother asked me yesterday what I wanted for my birthday. Of course in that moment had no idea, however I’ve managed to think of some things. To move the last three posts down a bit (Because holy cow, hai depression. Sorry friends. Today really is a better day. Promise.), I’ve decided to post this magnificent list for you all. Because really, it may be a bit more than my mother can handle. Maybe some of you can help her out? I know you are all just itching to get me birthday presents. Anyway…
1. An island. Preferably a warn, sunny, beautiful, relaxing, great beach island. With cabana boys, drinks in coconuts and a free Starbucks.
2. The winning Power Ball numbers. Because I’d like to be independently wealthy.
3. My own private jet that will fly me wherever I want to go, whenever I want to go.
4. A House Elf.
5. An iPhone. Oh and a Kindle too. While I’m on this subject, a new Mac laptop, one that doesn’t over heat and need a time out after 40 minutes would be nice too.
6. A brand new house, with a huge kitchen and all new furniture.
7. For all my closest friends to live on the same block as me.
8. A Hawaiian vacation. Two weeks would be lovely.
9. A trip to London.
Nine sounds like a nice round number, so I’ll stop there for now. Let me know if you have any questions whatsoever.

Grab My Button!
I’m a joiner
I want a personal chef.
I’m glad you realized you won’t get voted off…if that was the case, I’d have been gone 3 (gulp) years ago! My list is long as well…only I never do anything to help my situation (you know, like PLAY the lottery if you think you’re going to win!).
HUGS friend.

@Heather, Oh yes…personal chef. Good one.
It sounds like all you really need is those lotto numbers. Then you could buy yourself all that other stuff.
I’ll get back to you as soon as I figure them out. Promise.

@Marla, Found them yet???
Yes, and it also might help if I ever played the lottery. Hmm.
Uh, Issa? If you had a large kitchen, you might have to cook. Or something. You might want to rethink that one.

@avasmommy, Personal chef friend, I’ll get a personal chef.
Shh, don’t tell anyone, I am 50 and still on the island . . .
I wish you free groceries for your new kitchen.
A personal chef who also does laundry.
All the time to sleep you could ever need.
I would loan you my house elf but he is busy . . .

@gaylin, But where did you find the House Elf???? No one will tell me. Sigh.
Um I’m 40 and still have no clue.
I’d love an island. We actually had a plan to buy one and build a little resort (you know with the millions we were going to win playing powerball). Didn’t quite work out. A house elf is a good idea in theory but the are knida creepy looking

@But Why Mommy, There is still time friend.
I’m glad to know it’s not just me. Because dam, some days it feels like it is.
Saw your comment on Mom-101 and had to stop by as I loved it. At 30 I found myself facing divorce and not knowing what came next. Now I am 46 with a 3 year old daughter, so just know you have plenty of living left to do and plenty of time in which to figure it all out.
A very modest birthday wish list I think – I’d just add Johnny Depp to bring my my cocktails on the island rather than a cabana boy.

@Aging Mommy, This sort of made me cry. thank you for commenting. Truly.
I’m not sure what I’m doing or how I’m going to figure it out. But for some reason the fact that at 46 years old, you have a 3 year old gives me hope. Because as funny as it may sound, I know I’d like more kids.
I’d take Will Smith…instead of Depp. Well him or Orlando Bloom, with elf ears. Ahem.

I would not recommend waiting until 43 perhaps – we got lucky in the end, however at 30 you honestly have plenty of time ahead for more children.
Funny, I love Orlando Bloom too, but only with the blonde hair and elf ears, not so much dark haired and without. You can have Will Smith all to yourself though, not my cup of tea!

At 35, I am still very emphatically on the island. I am in very good company, it seems!
And to add to that spectacular birthday wish list of yours – unlimited free downloads for the Kindle. And be sure that you make that Kindle a DX, okay?

@Joy, So DX is like the better model? I swear you can’t buy anything without them then putting out a new one with an added letter. ha.
Sorry I yelled at you on your other post. So glad today is a better day.
I can get you the whole island thing slightly modified. I practically live in those EXACT conditions ALL SUMMER LONG in Naples.
I HAVE COCONUTS TO DRINK OUT OF.
Just sayin’.

You drink out of coconuts? NICE!!!!
Oooo, a House Elf! I want one too!

@Kari, I can’t find one friend. I want one, but can’t seem to find one.
I also have no clue. Thirty-seven. So, yeah.
XO. I better be invited to your island.

@anymommy, Oh heck yeah friend.
That sounds like a great list! My favorite would be having all of my friends living on my block. I’d like my family on that block, too. And then, Hawaii. I’ll take a month, though, in a house on a quiet beach near turtles.

@J, I’ve always wanted that, all of my friends on the same block. One day maybe.
For my 30th, I got pissed at some newly found “fine lines” and got a microdermabrasion series. Ohs wells.
