If Money Grew On Trees

Oh, if only money grew on trees. Imagine what I could do! I could drive a slick new car, remodel the kitchen, or...build our dream home! But, since those things are pretty unrealistic, I choose to dream about more attainable things. Sort of..

I am a girl, I love to shop. But not the usual girlie things. I am not into clothes or shoes. But I am a sucker for electronics. DSW? Not for me. Best Buy? Now we are talkin'! Nothing excites me more than shopping for sleek new toys. And lately, I have been coveting the iPad. I never understood what the big deal was with the iPad. If it isn't a phone, than why would you want to lug around a mini computer? Seemed a little pointless to me. But, since Christmas, a couple of friends have showed me theirs and I am totally in love. This thing is SO cool!

Just think of all the things I can do on it!
I can read books!
I can get textbooks!
Even Mia can read books!
Interactive books!
Movies!
Games!
Cartoons!
Color!
Draw!
Write!
At home, in the car, out to dinner, on a plane!
Being a student and a Mom, the possibilities are endless.
I dream of one.

But, at 600 bucks a pop, I will continue to dream :)

And speaking of dreaming, this baby has been on my mind for quite a while now...

The NordickTrack Incline Trainer. Perfection. A machine you can run, walk, hike..etc. One of my favorite things to do in Colorado was hike. And since we live in flat lands (compared to Colorado), hiking isn't an option. So why not hike at home? Not as pretty I know, but better than nothing.

But again, 1300 bucks I will continue to salivate from the couch.

If only money grew on trees...

Wondering if the Nordic Track thingie majig might become the next elliptical thingie majig... might make your hip (or whatever it was) hurt, too - and end up a lonely machine sitting in the corner of your basement. You know I'm kidding, right???

You and I are soooooo much alike - I had the original Nordic Track and it eventually became the thingie that I dried my clothes on. My Pro Gym is now in Dustin's basement - he uses it, but I didn't.

As for the IPad - now that is some action I would go nuts for!

Loving you and will see you in a couple of days!
