McToaster anyone?

I have to say that I love the idea of this one. I'm a big fan of sausage mcmuffins and have spent my share of dinero on them rather than having a quickie breakfast at home simply because I like them. The Back to Basics TEM500 Egg & Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher will change all that. I can have my mcmuffin at home and the savings over time can add up to an Outback rather than McD's outting.

Anyway, I've seen this in several catalogs and even the local Lowe's. I've gone to great lengths to point it out to my dearly beloved, who occassionally reads this. Let's hope that the message gets through. If not I'll just save my pennies after Christmas. This is one gadget that this geekette must have! TTFN!

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!

Roomba, the work free vacuum

I'm really torn on my wintertime wish list for a new vacuum cleaner. Part of me wants the new Dyson for pets. But, we have no pets(unless my three children qualify) so that may be a bit of overkill. Barring that, I'm all about the Roomba robo vac. I mean if I can't get the bigger, better, more girth vacuum, why not get one that will do all the work for me. I particularly like the fact that you set it down in the middle of the room and let it do it's thing. It even goes under tables, chairs, beds, and picks up what is in its path. This gadget gets my vote. I'm definitely adding it to his Christmas list this year I don't want appliances for Christmas!

I would like to add that if you have pets, especially pets that shed, the Roomba probably isn't the best choice for you. The dyson is probably the best choice in this situation. I guess all the cleaing I have in front of Christmas morning has me on the lookout for vacuum cleaners. Merry Housekeeping! TTFN!
