You've had scooby forever though...I didn't know that was your Christmas present. Don't tell DH...he'll try to make the "bots" mine!

Did I tell you I got my sister Roomba. She's gonna freak. I wanted to NOT get it for her, cause I love having a cleaner house than hers...but I figured that was selfish...

I don't really want anything, but I did fall in love with this beautiful cashmere coat at BR... I was hoping they discounted it big time. Well, I just checked and they haven't... AND they only have size small left. Oh well!

I'm secretly relieved they don't have my size because I was finding it extremely hard to resist!

I'd love a freezer for all my super coupon sale shopping.
A new pair of Uggs, my feet won't accept other shoes any longer
And a new comfy -n- ergonomic chair for my studio.

Camera gals....are you all familiar with B&H Photo online? We've used for years and never had issues. I've been using photoshop for a couple of years now. My one sis is a photographer and teaches, so I had lots of help from her.

I LOVE my Uggs. Once they're no longer "presentable" enough to wear outside (like beat to death and messed up from work) I rotate them into "indoor slipper wear".

B&H is awesome. I splurged on lighting last year...good thing I did it then, now would be tough!

I'm looking at freezers right now....I've decided that this is a must have on my list. There's barely enough room in our freezer now, I can't imagine squeezing kiddo foods in there.

I got my present today. I got to go out and buy a replacement water heater and install it today instead of putting up the Christmas tree. $600 and 8 hours later, we have hot water again. Merry Freakin' Christmas

I really want a good photo editing software for all those fun pictures of DD.

Ooooooohhhhhhh! I might have to add that to my list!

He bought it for the boat, didnt want him to take my big one out as it will be abused- bounced, dropped and possibly splashed at times. It cost around $150.00 and takes good quality photos that we send to magazines and website-quality is good enough for full cover page a couple of times.

If I were looking for a digital camera just to carry around in my pocket, this would be it!

Thanks....I will keep that in mind. Mine is getting old but works. Perhaps I will be able to talk DH into getting me a new one next year for my birthday.
