My Christmas list

Well the first thing on my Christmas list is a new USB mouse for my computer. Mine has been on the fritz. I have to keep unplugging and replugging it to get it to work, and even then sometimes I receive a message telling me that there is an unrecognizable device plugged into my port...Grrrr....I hate it when my toys are on the blink.

Then I want (just like I'm sitting on Santa's lap eh?) the Civ IV expansion pack. A girl has to have a nice new game to use her nice new mouse on right?

Then I want the PalmOne Tungsten E Handheld. I particularly like this one because it can be used as an MP3 player. I love my music but really and truly am a sucker for audio books. Especially as I'm finding less and less time to read for enjoyment. I can listen while I'm walking to school with my son or waiting in line at the bank and I'm not relegated to carrying multiple devices with me at all times. It's an calendar, address book, mp3 player, portable game system, ebook reader and it takes less space than most of these would take alone.

And the last thing on my Christmas list is someone named Raul wearing impossibly little clothes, with a tan buff body...to ahem, wash the dishes for me. And I quite honestly am not kidding on that one. I hate washing dishes and if I'm going to get the day off I may as well have some great scenery right? TTFN!

Cool New Gadget!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm always running out of juice on my electronic devices at the most inopportune times. It's immensely frustrating and I'm not always in a position to take care of it. My gadget of the day will help prevent this from happening. It's the The Solar Flare Messenger Bag by Eclipse Solar Gear. This neat bag has compartments for a laptop, cell phone, pda, and your papers and pens and such. The coolest thing about this bag though, is that it has a solar charging module that trickle charges your electronic devices on your commute, on your walk, etc. I think this is the coolest thing. It saves and extends battery life and prevents a great deal of frustration. I'm sure I'm not the only one that notoriously forgets to charge her phone until it's dead. Unfortunately I'm not always in my car or near my charger when this occurs. In fact I almost never need my cell phones in these situations. Well, that's my cool new toy for the day! TTFN!
