What is on your Christmas wish list for yourself?

I hope you get to go!

Yes, OSU and Oregon are big time rivals, but we root for Oregon in all their games (except the Civil War game vs. OSU). :) It's good to see our state do well in football!
That's how we are also. If K-State is out of it but Kansas is still in something, I root for them (like basketball almost every year!). Same with ASU (DH's alma mater and Grant's college) and Arizona.
 
We're coming Mary!!! :thumbup:

We got our tickets through K-State so we are IN! :) We were hoping to fly, but with flights running around $600, it looks like it's going to be a road trip instead. I'm still crossing my fingers that something cheaper will open up but it's doubtful. We'll be making the trip with my sister and her husband and I can't wait! :)

We are working on it! I'm waiting for my niece to decide is she is going. She just moved from Manhattan (KS, where K-State is), to California less than a month ago. I'm hoping she and her boyfriend can drive over for the bowl game. They went to all the home games while they lived there (they both graduated from KSU too). His job is sending him to Ireland for 2 weeks so they are waiting for the dates. I still want to go if they don't, but of course want to get tickets with them if they are coming. My niece went to the Fiesta Bowl the last time KSU played in 2004. I happened to be back in Joplin, MO at the time so she just got me a shirt. :)

OK, since you live in OR, you get a pass for rooting for them. But aren't they OSU's rival? ;)

I'm now crossing my fingers big time that they practice at our high school since OK did last year. It's right in our neighborhood and we live 1/2 mile from it and that would be so cool! :thumbup:
 
i want a kindle paperwhite (well, i have it but can't HAVE it until christmas), a lightscoop and a new mixer since mine crapped the bed.

I have a light scoop just sitting if you're interested, Laura :) It was for my Canon 40d but now that I have a 5d (no popup flash), I can't use the light scoop. I'm saving up to buy an external flash. PM if you want it :)
 
I wanted a new long zoom bridge camera - DH bought it for me in the Black Friday sale when we were on holiday but he has wrapped it so I can't play - he's a meanie :)
 
OK, got my Christmas present! We are going to the Fiesta Bowl to watch K-State! WOOHOO!!! :) :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm just a tiny bit excited. :blink:

How did I miss this!! Yay Heather!! Let's see how close we are sitting to each other so we can meet up! :)
 
Same here! I get really frustrated every year because I fill all 5 of the kids' stockings and Chris' stocking, but he never fills mine! I got after him about it a couple times, so then he threw a deoderant and a lip gloss in there one time LOL. Seriously, he just won't do it, and it drives me batty. I guess I don't really care about the stuff in it as much as the fact that the kids are always like, oh poor mommy, I'll give you some of my candy since you didn't get any!! Sometimes I put stuff in my own just so that it has stuff in it, but I hate doing that. Last year mine was completely empty in the morning. I just don't think he gets it for some reason.

I'm sure if you left his empty one year he'd get it.

When your kids get older maybe they will help him. My 14 yo is in charge of mine, DH just takes her shopping and lets her get what I'll like.
 
And since we're all friends here... we also do an 'adult' stocking. We started this tradition quite a while back. I have this super big stocking that was mine as a kid. We use it for 'our' stocking and we each buy things to put in it. On Christmas Eve, after the kids have gone to bed, we open the gifts from the stocking together. It sure helps keep the spark there. :hugs:

Oh gosh, I might have to give this a whirl this year. DH would be totally excited. :w00t::o
