It’s been awhile since I did any blogging. I’ve been awfully busy with stuff.
And now it’s almost Christmas.
Christmas can be annoying. I always get asked what I want, which is fine. But in my family, surprise is a key point. So I either end up getting not quite what I asked for or I get what I wanted and something… weird.
Two years ago, I ended up getting bath sets from my aunt for Christmas. Very nice soap stuff, but I still haven’t used it all up. I cringe a little when I think about how much each bath with the soap costs.
I’d much rather have something useful, but fun. Like an MP3 player. Last year, one of the gifts I got was Star Trek: The Animated Series on DVD. This was a bit better than usual. I did want the set eventually. But I haven’t really had much time to watch it.
This year, I’ve asked for a Palm PDA. But it has to be a specific Palm. I do not want the Palm Z22 - they apparently left out the SD card slot! So I want an older model, one that does have a slot. I’ve said I want a Tungsten E2 or Tungsten T2, I don’t care which, refurbished or used - whatever the case may be. I don’t really care if it’s here by Christmas either. A little late is fine, since it took awhile for me to tell them what I want.
But my family has a ‘thing’ about ‘used’ gifts. Antiques would be fine; a used bit of electronics, not so much.
So will I get what I want or will I get more bath sets and candles?
22 days and counting…
