What do YOU want for Christmas?

[GLC1968]

The only thing I actually asked for is an Ipod. I've never had one and I feel left out!

The things I really want:

A answer as to what is wrong with one of our dogs legs
A new job for my husband that he likes and that is in a place that we want to live
The ability to fit into all the clothes in the guestroom closet


Does anyone have any good gift ideas for husbands who say they don't want anything? I'm trying to think of a good idea for him...possibly bike related. Man, he's hard to buy for!!

10,000 miles for the year
To figure out Camtasia and Smartboard and make a kick-butt presentation on teaching algebra with it
a way into a certain person's heart

[LBTC]

so many things I could say....

for DH to have a stellar 3 month review with a nice 20% raise (that should be happening next week.....we hope the raise comes with it!)

to have a bunch of sales of pictures from my new online page

to see my friend from Vancouver - and have the perfect weather to go mountain biking and snow shoeing!

for my energy and pain levels to be predictable enough that I can have fun and start working on my fitness again

some amazing change in my psychology that will allow me to stop procrastinating and get my taxes done!

hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Peace of mind.

Oh, and a wireless cyclocomputer with an HR monitor and PI Microsensor bibs would be nice too.

May all our Christmas wishes come true...

Yes in fact I surely do!!! Get several boxes that can be nested into each other. For each box, get a silly card, It must get progressivelly silly-er. Into the smallest box, place a lump of coal or charcoal brickette. with a hand written note. You can say whatever you want something nice would be good. then wrap the box up in a beautiful wrapping. Place the box into the next larger box, add the silly-ist card then wrap it up in little less beautiful wrapping paper. repeat three or four more times. The last one should use a plain brown paper bag.

Alternative is to leave the last box completely empty, just a bautiful box.

Tickets to some event he would like---sports, music, whatever.

Gift certificate for a weekend away in some cool place. Or a great dinner.

How about a Bose iPod stereo.

Bike related gifts:

Park multi tool
Park bike repair stand
Bike Cube
toasty gloves
LED light
compact digi camera for those rides
windproof, waterproof cycling shoes

Oh, and a North Face polar fleece sweater with a pocket for the iPod.

Unfortunately, he has almost all that stuff, already!

He doesn't have a bike cube though, so I'm definitely going to try getting one from Terry for him. That's a good idea! Thanks!

I also like the box idea...definitely going to use that, too!

Tickets would also be good, except that there is rarely anything good around here that he'd want to see. I got him a 'Braves' weekend for his birthday last year since that's his favorite team (and sport).

Thanks for the ideas, all!

GLC, how about a subscription to a magazine or newspaper?

My Christmas/channuka wish list:

Lots and lots of snow. Big piles of fluffy white stuff that goes phlumph when BF falls over trying to learn how to ski.

For BF to feel better and no longer be tired and stressed and sick and achy.

For BF to be offered the perfect job in a great location (and if possible the same for me in the same location).

And if I still have any wishes left.....a Garmin 305 or similar gadget would be very nice too...

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I got this for my DH one year and he loves it. He sits and relaxes and spins. Also, bicyclists make excellent spinners, because they have the cadence thing down. It's cool. And it's cool when guys do it. You can get fiber from anywhere - check for local alpaca or merino sheep wool farms. He can then sell his yarn, which is in high demand these days with the knitting craze....

A trouble free transition from our life in the USA to our new life in Australia.
Hopes that my husband will get the job he is after and that after 25 years in the military we will adapt to life as civilians.

That a great house will come along that is in our price range and has the required huge tree for that beloved tree house the boys have been dreaming of.

Happiness and inner peace for all my friends here at TE.
