Friday five + stuff
Nov. 19th, 2004 11:05 amJust finished a week of total hell at the Scholastic Book Fair at my son's former preschool, where Jon will start possibly this summer. But the good news is, even with fewer board books and pricey gift books - and NO cookbooks! - we beat last year's intake by around seventy dollars. Well, it's something!
So I'm returning to real life with the Friday Five, gacked, as usua, from
fridayfiver:
1. Your most favorite gadget:
See icon.
2. Your most useless:
My waffle maker. I used to be good at making waffles with a maker, and now, for some reason, I've lost the knack.
3. Your most useful:
What, you mean after the toaster oven, the computer, the baby monitor which ticks when he breathes, and the ipod, all of which are vital for daily life? My sidekick. Definitely.
4. Best-bargain gadget you've purchased:
My Belkin iPod FM transmitter, which allows me to take over the stereo system at my gym with my iPod's music. Wheee, total control and no headphones needed.
5. The one you would love to receive this holiday season:
I am getting a Roomba, because with another baby, I think it's the only way I'll be able to keep the wood floor in the kitchen & playroom vaguely sanitary. I may be getting a tivo, but with the whole removal-of-commercial-skipping feature thingy, I'm now rethinking it. I don't really care to upgrade to a new iPod - I love the one I have already - so the one thing I really want, but am probably not getting, is a MAC G5. SO shineeee! And so unlikely!
