Well I guess it is that time... time for a Xmas list of things that I might be interested in this year to guide family towards things I am interested in. These are just thoughts ideas and suggestions feel free to ignore them.

1) Money for me to put towards a certain investment many of you are aware of... I know money is lame and my family doesn't normally do that, but in all honesty it is what I probably need most, but if you want to be more fun have no fear look below.

2) A shirt to match these pants, my brother got me this cool outfit shoes, pants, and such, but no shirt to go with it... I have no shopping skills so I can't find anything to match it and every time I wear the outfit someone tells me the shirt I tried with it doesn't quite match. I tend to wear small or medium shirts depending on the store.

Me confused trying to look cool... I know to normally wear brown socks with these pants, but it was a quick photo shoot so just let it slide.

3) A pair of Gap jeans in this style or damn near close, my favorite pair of jeans (pretty much the only ones I will wear) are falling apart and I need a replacement. So if you find something that would be similar to these jeans go for it. The jeans I love that fit so well are size 30 x 30. Here is everything I know about the jeans... Gap Low Rise Boot Fit they are 100% cotton, they are amazing and I love them.

My favorite jeans and I spending a moment together... ah how relaxing and comfortable...

4) A suit travel bag. I guess it is time I have a good bag to travel with my suit, other hanging clothes items, room for a basic bathroom kit and other over night items. Something I can use while doing short trips that require me to dress up like interviews and such. Something so I can show up with out all my clothes being a wrinkled mess.

5) Plane tickets, what can I say I like to travel, but I can't visit and travel everywhere because I can't keep blowing all my money on plane tickets... Do they sell vouchers or something like that? I don't know but it is just an idea.

6) In car navigation system. Something I can move car to car preferably. Those that know me also know that I could get lost in a large circular room. I generally can't drive anywhere unless I have driven that route a few times before while following careful directions, at which point I can only get to that spot following one route that I memorize. If a road is close, I am screwed because I generally have no idea where I am at any given point. I don't know where I am or how I got here right now.

7) Decent fall/spring gloves. I have really nice ski gloves, but now that Erin and I have to walk a dog in the freezing cold it would be have nice to have something to warm my hands... It would also be nice while walking to work I guess.

8) Anything that is a selfish waste of money, but things that are great to do... Gift card to a really nice restaurant I wouldn't normally spend money at. A nice bottle of wine, vodka, or tequila. Some really good cooking ingredients that are expensive sesame oil, olive oil, spices...

9) A duplicate of Erin so I have have two of her. Then when she is busy or at work I can still hang out with her, not to mention how often we could travel if we added on a 3rd income. Then when Erin is gone in Honduras I would still have another Erin to spend time with. Your all smart get working on a duplicator, Calvin and Hobbes made one why can't you.

10) A time machine... to many reasons to even begin mentioning here.
