*** THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGE GIFT: a job.
* MY CAR BACK! Or at least one with anti-lock brakes. :-(
* A snowblower. Man was that stuff heavy this morning.
* an iPod. I know, I know. I've always said Apple drives me nuts, but it would really be handy to use while teaching classes. I figure I'd need at least a 4GB version to hold my class music that I've got so far. 8 or 16GB would give some room to grow. With a larger one than that, I could move my music off my old mp3 player (that's no longer made or supported but still working). All things being equal (price), I'd choose the larger one, but if it were my money I wouldn't pay much more to get the big one. Even with a big one, 40 or 60GB would be more than enough.
* Body Combat jersey from www.lmclothing.co.nz. "Essence Sinclair, Moko Sinclair or Andrew Sinclair" in that order. If you go to the website, the programs are listed across the top. Click "Body Combat" and you'll see the available options. Remember the site defaults to New Zealand dollars. Under RPM, I'd like "Andrew Sinclair, Solar Sinclair, and Moko Sinclair" in that order. I'd probably need a L or XL based on their size charts.
* Cycling shorts, probably Medium.
* a road bike.
* a kayak.
* clothes. Mine seem to be growing.
* A cool key rack to hang inside the front door of my house. If you're unsure, check with Keith for 'coolness' verification.
* A crock for my counter to hold all my kitchen utensils.
* Quilts. I'd love a nice quilt (queen/king size) for my bed and/or one for the couch (twin size?). I don't often think to shop for one, and never remember to put it on my Christmas list, but I've thought about it for a few years.
* A regular-sized food processor. My small one is great for some things, not so for others.
* Circulon saute pans like the small one Dad got us last year. I think it's an 8" pan, so the larger ones would be handy.
* GC's for Banana Republic. See above regarding clothes.
* A laptop. Nothing fancy, just would like it for the internet in the living room and while traveling. Ability to view MS Office documents a plus.
* ski tickets and plane tickets to Mammoth Mountain
* GC's for Home Depot, Lowes, Crawford Windows, Mead's, Furniture, etc., etc.
* Did I mention gift certificates for house stuff?
* NY Jets merchandise. Not too cheesy (unless it's cheap and has humor value). Something I can show/wear/use/etc. I hate bobblehead dolls.
