That's pretty intense.

Santa brought Myself, my wife, and my daughter....THE FLU! He really spoiled me with a 102.7 temperature, while only teasing my wife with a temp of 101.6. He did give my daughter a vicious cough that made her throw up! Twice! He gave my son the shaft and only gave him a cough/cold, so we spoiled him with toys.



Wife got me a new pair of Flow snowboard bindings, my kids bought me the game Battleship so we could play together (winner!), parents got me the Simpletech 250gb Simpleshare NAS / Print Server. Father in law got us over 800sq ft of the most BEAUTIFUL cedar decking material so we can rebuild our rotting deck in the spring. And who knows what else from other various family members.

Twas a good year....

1.) EOS 400D with Canon 28-90mm and 90-300mm lenses, along with an aluminum carrying case and assorted filters
2.) 30GB video iPod (black)
3.) Four legume bowls from William-Sonoma
4.) Various gift cards
5.) My grandfather's secret book o'recipes that was recently found in some boxes from his basement

The wife purchased the dSLR and iPod...so that came from my pocket, and we had promised not to buy anything for each other as I recently resigned from work...but she did anyway. Stupid woman.

Sennheiser HD555's, $400($200 went to the headphones), a giant jar of assorted chocolates from Costco, a book and 2 non-electronic games. Oh, I also forgot my Wii with Zelda and a Classic Controller. Also the HD sattilite box, and could I add my iRiver H10? Some of them were bought back in the summer because I can't see some of my family during the winter.

$100 from my father, and a nice benchmade knife is in the mail. Gran turismo 4, and a few books. And a amazon.com gift certificate. The rest is still in the mail, and probably wont be here for a few days. Oh well.

My dad just wrote me a check for $500.

That's a very expensive gift considering my family's income.

I got... a Canon printer (actually went with mom to buy it a couple of weeks ago), a pair of jeans, a casual shirt, a sweatshirt, a dress shirt & tie, super duper heavy duty lets bake those feets until they fall off socks, and a couple gift cards to Best Buy.

I'm planning on buying myself a Christmas gift in the near future... haven't decided whether I want an MP3 player or a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx. One or the other.

Nothing yet. As usual, for 90% of every Christmas since I remember (and other holidays), my dad is working 12 hour shifts. So we are celebrating on Wednesday I believe.

No biggy, I told my parents I don't really need anything. They do know that I'll need money next semester, and my tuition/fees bill paid ($2k), but I believe I'll be getting a couple of small things still. Probably will get stuff like clothes or things I need for my car I'd imagine. Which works for me, I don't wanna spend my $ on clothes! And probably gift certs or money from grandparents and/or relatives.

But I got a few things for myself... managed like my highest GPA ever in college (was 1% short from a A in one class, which would've gave me a straight 4.0), and found this old laptop at my buddy's that his old roommate left. It doesn't work, but very good chance the power jack needs to be replaced, and possibly the battery then since it is completely dead. Cel 650mhz, 256+ ram, 20 GB hard drive. Woot!! Laptop for $75 (IF it is just the power jack and battery, otherwise don't want to put any more money into it) tops. Hell yeah.

30gb iPod from my boss

I was gonna get myself a nice 24" LCD/HDTV in the same resolution range, but it looks like I'll have to wait for some issues to be resolved for the one I've decided to get
