Tom Tom

We've seen the commercials with the guy driving around and asking Sue Sue for directions and being rewarded with a blank stare. How many times have you been lost? Me? I can get lost trying to find my way out of a Cracker Jack box. Armed with that knowledge, of course I am extremely interested in Tom Tom. It seems the perfect gift...hint hint to my dearest loving hunk of a ...well I digress. This gadget has made my list of number one interests for today because of the simple coolness of it. While it is rather pricey, you can get it for your palm, pocket pc, or PDA for a much lower price. If you do a lot of driving, I highly recommend it. Especially if much of your driving is in unfamiliar territory.

Why is this so cool for a guy? Because he will NEVER, EVER, hear..."why don't you just stop and ask for directions?" Again. With Christmas coming up this is something that I would definitely keep in mind for the man on your list. Put this under the tree and he will absolutely forgive you for the pair of shoes you bought yourself while you were out shopping for him. You may even get him to feel a little guilty for getting you a blender to make him smoothies instead of the diamond earrings you've been hinting about since August...then again a girl can dream.

TTFN, we'll have more dish and girl talk later.

Gadgets and Gizmos A-plenty

I think that as a child I was always a little bit like Arial from the little mermaid. I loved collecting new and unusual things. The more buttons it had the better. None of the other girls understood my fascination. To tell the truth neither did I, but still my love of new and more technologically advanced toys continued and grew. Then along came Tim Taylor...you know the one. "More Power." Perhaps that is what it was. Maybe I'll never know, but my love for new and exciting gizmos and gadgets continues to grow.

The man in my life loves it. He doesn't really have to justify spending the money on it, only not buying two. I don't roll my eyes when he wants to darken the door of Radio Shack, Best Buy, or Frye's, I am right there with him. In fact he sometimes has to drag me out.

My goal is to try to help the average girl who isn't really all that fascinated understand. I mean most men aren't all that into shoes. My guy tried to give me a twelve pair limit...so I put 12 pair where he could see them and hid the others (insert wicked grin here). But it's something akin to that. Gadget weaknesses are akin to todays shoes. And face it girls they can cost about the same. My guy is doubly lucky, he gets my shoe fetish and my gadget droolings.

Anyway I will attempt to point out nifty finds and explain the real coolness of them in girl speak. That way not only will your dear guy be delighted with your acceptance, he will be impressed by your knowledge. TTFN and check back often for new enlightening gizmos galore.
