the birthday is coming.

That's right, folks.  I'm about to be another year older.  I'll be 34....and April 6th is the big day.
Personally, I celebrate all month.  I've done it for years now.  All of April are belong to me.  I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing this year to celebrate.  
I'm a fan of birthday parties. What can I say?  I like attention.  My 30th birthday was an 80's Bash since I was born in 1980.  

My 32nd birthday was my first birthday back in Texas...so a Texas Rangers theme was appropriate.  PLUS, I'm a super fan.   I love me some Rangers! 

Number 33 was spent at my very first 5K -- The Color Run.  Seriously, best birthday ever!  We had so much fun!

Now we're here to the big 34.  What to do?  While I've been thinking of activities...we can't neglect the thought of the infamous wishlist.  You know I have one.  Everyone does.
Here's what has made the birthday wishlist so far:

1. Batman Funko POP! Vinyl
2. iMac Desktop Computer
3. Happiness Junky tee
4. Mantis Orchid Women's Bike
5. Totally Rad tee
6. Rainbow Unicorn Mug from Lenny Mud
7. Star Wars Saga DVD set
8. Womens Sanuk Bedouin Sky Bootie
9. Wonder Woman Retractable ID Badge Holder

 

Any celebration suggestions?  Let me know in the comments.  Any and all birthday cards will be accepted with leaps and squees. :)

 

Later, folks.

 

 

 

8-bits of awesome.

Each week I talk about 8 things that I find to be awesome.  Whether it be geek news, things to be added to my ever-growing wishlist, funny pics or some rad new music...you'll find it weekly here at The Shiny Happy in my

And here we go:

• Can you truly pass up seeing The Boss cover Lorde!?  No.  No, you can't.  Springsteen's cover of "Royals" is pretty sweet.
• Ever wonder which superhero you resembled the most?  For me, yes...everyday.  I thought I was Wonder Woman.  Apparently, I'm Captain America.  I can live with that.  Which Superhero Are You?
• My friend introduced me to MOG this weekend.  Anyone else using this?  I might be hooked.  Especially since I haven't gotten on the Spotify wagon yet.  Which is better?
• I seriously died laughing when I saw this.  This is so me...sorry.  Pin for the win!
• I have been obsessing over this watch for too long.  Ugh.  It must be mine...soon!  I just have to win a little from the lottery first...
• I have big plans to go to  my very first Dallas Comic Con in May.  I can't stop thinking about it.  Anyone else going to be there?
• I have a new love in the form of an Etsy shop.  Everyone should check out House of Darkly.  So many wants!!!  Especially the 8-bit Geek necklace!!
• It's Pi Day!  Pi Day!  3.14 Pi Day!

Alright! And that's a wrap on this week's 8-bits! What things are bringing the awesome to your life this week? Let me know by sharing your links in the comments. I can always use more awesome.

she's miiine!!

I'm sure I've mentioned before that I have an unhealthy obsession with Funko POP! Vinyls.  The mister may laugh, but I love them oh so much.

To be so in love with them, I have a small collection.  Tis sad.

It all started with Yoda.  It was all downhill after that.
I searched them out online and created a virtual wish list.  Not sure why....I love them all!
Since then, I have acquired Darth Vader and General Zod.

All the while, I wished and wished for my beloved Wonder Woman.
Last week, after landing a new job, I decided to reward myself...and she is here.

She is miiiine!!!  Finally!!!
She just looks so good on my desk with my Wonder Woman coffee mug and my Wonder Woman tumbler.  It's magical.

There is a Funko POP! for practically anything you fangirl over.  Since my birthday is coming up in April, I thought I'd include a few other super rad Funko items on my wishlist:

Do you have a Funko collection?  Let me know!  I'd love to swoon over it.
If you don't, proceed with caution, friends. You'll be hooked soon enough.
