Top 5 Things I got for Xmas

5. Houndstooth print heels (from spouse, purchased by me)
4. Really soft slipper socks
3. Gift cards to Barnies (what the spouse and I call Barnes and Noble) and Borders.
2. Dog ornaments. One was a Dalmation with a santa hat on. I cried like a baby. (My dally Kara died in April 06)
1. Automatic garbage can. It's a sleek stainless steel and it opens and closes automatically. Cool.

And, today, we went and bought a stove/oven mix and a new fridge. $1700. WOW. Anyway, the stove is my bday from last year and the fridge is my 5 year (jan 4 08) anniversary gift. I was SO sick of my stove taking 400 years to heat up and 500 years to cool off. And, the ice maker on the fridge hasn't worked since we moved in...besides it didn't match! Aesthetics, people, a visual rhetorician has got to have em!

I plan to work on syllabi this afternoon.

400 years is a long time to wait for a stove to heat up. I am glad you got a new one. Personally, I can't believe you waited 10 months to get a birthday present.

I got a Christmas present today. With the cash my parents gave me, I bought the nicest purse I have ever had. I love it.

You should post a picture of present #1. Or at least post a link to a picture. I love shoes.
