Hooray for Presents!

[wednes]

My Aunt Barb sent H and I some awesome belated wedding gifts. Although given the timing, I'm thinking of them as anniversary gifts. Anywhoo...we got a new Brita pitcher, which we really needed but didn't want to shell out for. We got some new mixing/storage bowls with lids and two of the awesomest (yes, it's a word) memory foam pillows I have ever seen. They kick the ass and I can't wait to go to bed tonight so I can use one.

So now the only thing I didn't get for the wedding that I really wanted was the bread machine. I'm wondering if H will get me one for Christmas, even though I've been pretty clear in saying "no more kitchen stuff" he still might get it.

You know what's funny? Aside from some movies and books and stuff, there's not really anything big or expensive that I need or want this holiday season. Make no mistake, I could still drop $500 bucks at amazon at the drop of a hat if I had it. But I don't really NEED anything so I don't know what to ask for when H asks what I want for my birthday or Christmas...well, except the bread maker. I grow weary of making my own bread, so I don't do it and have to settle for stupid store bought bread. Good bread is one of the great joys of life. But it takes a whole day just to make, and I have other things I need to do with my days.

I put the wedding photos into the album today. It looks awesome and tells the lovely story of me and H getting hitched. We literally jumped the broom, and it was groovy. Now there's a picture book to prove it all wasn't a lie.

I also got some character development underway for my NaNo novel. Of course, it's been so long since I've had a crush on someone I kinda forget what it's like. I need to track down my Hot Hot former Boss and--on second thought, maybe that's a bad idea.

Did you have a specific bread machine in mind? I have one I'm dying to get rid of. I wonder how much it would cost to ship it...?

I picked out a fairly sizable one, 2 pounds I think. But I'm not so picky that I would turn down one for a good price.

;-]

Dude, you can totally have it for free. Let me find out how much it will cost to ship it.

Really? That'd be sweet.

We bought some memory foam pillows but we actually didn't like them. They were like ... too stiff and too tall. It almost felt like we were sitting up when we laid on them. However, our kids have them now and love them. =)


LOL!

Really? They have them at the vacation house I stay at to write and stuff...I like them a lot.

What if the 'memory foam' contains the wrong memory?! (You'll be snippy and discombobulated forever!?)

It snaps back pretty quickly. As long as it doesn't remember the time I threw up on the streets of Chicago...maybe that's not the kind of memory it remembers. ;-/

Yeah for some reason we just weren't very comfortable with them.

I am glad that you like yours, that usually helps you get some good sleep.
