yep. I like that too......*G*

This should prove how much of a gadget nerd I am. *L*

The other day, Mom and I were walking through Zellers, which is a department store, for those who don't know.. kinda like Kmart. Anyway, we were walking through the toy department, and I picked up this thing that kinda liooked like a little bunny.  The box had a "try me" sign on it, and pointed to the nose, so I pressed it.  It made little giggling noises, and there was music, one sounded like a barking dog, another sounded like a sneeze. *L*  I sat there for about 5 minutes, pressing the nose of this bunny...

Not this one, but there is one out there that does that is about actual size that George Lucas took the company to court for. It cost a lot nd is more of a high powered laser pointer. I think I have the link and can post a picture, but that would be waaaaay about the maximum Secret Santa cap or gifting.

ahhh, Netflix.. I'm not overly impressed with Netflix, although I"m told that the American version is different than the Canadian version.  We can only get streaming movies, and the selection is crap..

Jenna gets DVD's in the mail, Netflix has an extensive selection, and she can also watch online.
Oh that reminds me, she also is a huge fan of Mystery Science Theater.

Can't wait to see who I get.  Me and my husband went to Atlantic City for a few days and we were browsing for stuff to buy my secret pal. This is gonna be so much fun, buying for someone you don't know it really makes you work hard to find just the right thing.  Makes shopping FUN!!! :yahoo;
