way to blow it, wal-mart.com
Well, I guess that whole we-don't-buy-anniversary-presents thing is out the window. Last year I got the cell phone, which was a total surprise and hence I, in keeping with the previous nine years of tradition, did not get anything for T, and felt like a total heel. Not a sexy stiletto heel either, more like a worn-out Converse gym sneaker heel. But then I just found out that this year I am getting A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA, WOO HOO!! It's not a D70 like my brother's; I didn't want one of those -- a little too much camera for me to handle, frankly, and I am just not cool enough. No, the one I've been drooling over in a "someday" kind of way is the Coolpix 5400. AND ONE IS ON ITS WAY TO ME even as we speak, because I have the best husband IN THE WORLD.
Who will be getting a motorized focuser and a new tripod from Orion, by the way. Because at least this year I wasn't caught totally flat-footed by the fact that I was actually receiving a gift, thanks to the fact that the wal-mart.com person couldn't figure out that if it was gift-wrapped with a gift tag saying, "Happy Anniversary Honey," it probably wasn't the best idea to discuss the order with the customer's WIFE. Thank you, clueless wal-mart.com person.
