I normally don't like to blog during work hours but for this, I need to make an exception.

I asked my brother what he wanted for Christmas (I drew his name this year). He wanted these. The minute I saw them I forwarded the site to hubby and said that I thought he should have a pair because they look really really comfortable. As a side note, I'd benefit too because then I wouldn't have to see him wearing black socks with his shorts anymore. That's always a plus.

But I digress.

One of my friends sent me a link to a gadget that is, well, pretty fab. I sent that link to hubby and said that I thought it was really cool. We're both geeky and like cool gadgets. The rest of the email exchange went like this:

BJ: This looks pretty freaking cool. Set up the docking station in the car so that it is removable and you can swap it to any car we're currently using. Hmmmmm...

Me: I know! I thought you'd like it... Maybe this is another Christmas present that we can buy ourselves, then I'll take complete custody of it. (tee hee... oh... that wasn't a very good try at subliminal suggestion was it?)

BJ: Oh, I thought it was for me! I get it now. You get the cool new satellite radio for Christmas with the docking stations and the TiVo recording capability and I get..............slippers.

Then I got a follow-up to that, just to dig the guilt knife in a bit deeper...

BJ: Yeah, and then for our birthdays you can get an Aviator with a GPS system, leather interior and a 7 speaker stereo and I can get ..............a tie.

He's a quick learner, don't you think?
