My haul:
A new Craftsman snowblower. Hopefully now that I don't have to break my back shoveling it'll never snow again.
A heavy wool shirt in my favorite dark red color.

A 750ml bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac. :jumping:
Bottle of subpar champagne, a decent winter vest. :shrug:

I'm still a bit dumbstruck my wife bought it for me, with her :furious3: guns attitude. Oh well, she's my girl for a reason!
Doctor Who Series 1-4 box set, some books (including Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter), a few DVDs and a new Digital Camera that is good but cheap enough for me to take into moshes at concerts without fearing for it.
Same. :thumbsup:Quote:
