Now that the holiday season is drawing to a close, I've used some gift money to treat myself to a few things I've been wanting:

A Moleskine large address book
Spider Robinson's The Crazy Years (okay, I haven't wanted it for long, but it got me free shipping, and isn't in local libraries)
A wide-angle lens and two filters (one for the wide-angle, one for a lens I already have)

I also got a few things that weren't just for me:

Friendship: A Philosophical Reader for Jodi
The latest Our Bodies, Ourselves for both of us

And if I can just find out where exactly Office Depot delivered my assortment of disposable fountain pens, I'll have fun with those soon too.

Bed shopping is continuing. It occurs to me that maybe we should buy a low-profile foundation first, and then if that doesn't provide the support Jodi needs, we could go for a new mattress.

Devin stunned me with an amazing Christmas gift: Guitar Hero with the guitar controller. I was just telling Jodi that I wanted to play Guitar Hero while I was in Stuart, since I can't play it at home. That's when Devin sprung the gift on me. Man, I can hardly wait to play this at home. *fierce grin*

The iPod is back up to $349.99, though -- I'm kind of upset about that. When I sold the 30GB iPod, I accepted an Amazon.com gift certificate as payment because I figured I'd be getting the best deal at Amazon. Now that the sale's over, though, I'll just wait and see. Maybe it'll be a better idea to buy one at a retail store, if I see a better deal (no more than $327+tax), but I doubt I'll be able to beat Amazon's price anyway, what with the lack of sales tax.

Well, still, it's hard to complain. I'm so blessed. This morning I said "God, this is gonna be a stressful trip; be with me. No, fuck that, be with Jodi; she's under more stress than I am." And five minutes later, at Burger King, the woman at the drive-through offered Jodi a free coffee that someone had mistakenly poured five minutes ago; Jodi accepted gleefully and smiled for the first time of the day. And the woman said "Merry Christmas, have a God-blessed day!"

Thanks, big guy. I noticed your impeccable timing.

Since people are bound to ask (and if they don't, I'll bind them a bit tighter):

Jodi has an

that I set up for her.

I also have an

as well as a list of other ideas.

If you want to get an Amazon.com gift certificate for either of us, or for anyone at all, please use this link. Doesn't cost you anything, but I get a percentage anyway. Ain't commerce special?

And finally, if you'd like to buy a gift for someone who needs one more than I do, I'd suggest Shands Children's Hospital or any of the hospitals under the wing of Child's Play.

Current Mood: grateful

Man, if my brother roleplayed, he'd so be getting this for his birthday.
