My Final Post

Just for fun wish list for going back to school:

To Have

• A bike for me and dw, and kids bike seats on the back of each of them
• A helmet
• Good bike locks for each of us
• A laptop (I am crazy for the new lightweight Toughbook covertible, but hey, I'll even settle for a netbook...just something hopefully reliable I can use for notetaking and school work)
• A Kindle (did you see the new Kindle is out and it is finally supposed to be readable in sun?)
• A printer (turns out there is a charge per sheet for printing things out at school these days...phooey!)
• Some clothes I feel comfortable in (time for the every-15-year wardrobe update that I can never afford LOL)
• A fix to those little plumbing and electrical issues, etc., in the house that we can tolerate, but that we can't leave for a renter
• And if I am getting really dreamy...maybe an iPad

To Shed

• Our second car
• My broken laptop
• My house for 9 months out of the year
• 50 pounds
