Somebody’s 25th birthday (MINE) is approaching quickly.

Here is (almost) exactly the wishlist that I emailed my family today:

• spiral-bound book for writing in recipes.
• a knife block for my wee kitchen.
• a comforter for my bed.
• a kitten.

Here is what I really want:

• a new digital camera, preferably SLR but higher than 8 megapixels would be nice, too
• a kitten.

Seriously, a new camera and a new kitten of which to take excessive (and GIGANTIC) photos? I can’t think of a better way to spend any birthday.
