A Girl After My Own Heart

This is my friend Christina's daugher, Candace. 

She is a very beautiful girl, inside and out.  Candace just turned 13 and is quite possibly one of my favorite people.  I've spoken about her before on this blog, but have never posted her picture.  (Don't get weird on me, Candace. I love this picture.)

Think about what most girls would want for their 13th birthday.  What comes to mind?  When you think of how preteen girls are marketed you think of clothes, makeup, iPods and other techno goodies, dvd's, etc., right?  Well.  I have news for the big marketing companies of the world.  There is something you have overlooked greatly:  electronic labelers.  That's right!  This is what our "little Candace" (as her mother and I lovingly refer to her and watch her cringe every time) wanted for her 13th birthday.

And this is what she got.

She loves it.  Her mom posted about it as well (http://www.christinasthoughtsonlife.blogspot.com/).  Apparently she is labeling everything in the house.  Of course, her primary reason for wanting an electronic labeler was to let everyone in the house know what was hers.  She even labeled her leftover birthday cake, "Candace's Cake. NO TOUCHY!".  She has also labeled the rest of the food in the refrigerator that she claims is only for her consumption.  Apparently there is a food shortage at Christina's house.  Really, Christina.  Your poor children are starving. 

But at least everything is neatly labeled. :)
