I got me:
MSR 3 season 4lb tent for Hawaii

Canon SD750 for Hawaii
new Nike Volleyball shoes
Rock Band
Assasin's Creed
Mario Galaxy
a sewing machine

Tons of clothes from REI

I get to go to Maui!

And today Heather got me an RC car to chase Grrr with !!! Its charging in my office... Tomorrow it will be time lapse captured in our conference room.

And its not even xmas yet. I cut myself off until Smash Brothers comes out.

I decided next year I am not going to buy me 30 things at probably $2k. ( I do this because normally I get no gifts and everything is on sale) and instead am just going to buy The Addam's Family, Twilight Zone or Rollergames pinball or a hot tub.
