Birthday Presents & On My List
Posted by Chris
I had a great birthday weekend. Got a round of "Happy Birthday" from the Catalyst and GiANT Impact guys along with an ice cream cake. Had PF Changs Friday night with the fam. Scavenger hunt in my house for birthday clothing that the kids had hid everywhere (including one shirt inside the hide-a-bed). Lazy Saturday morning, including breakfast in bed from my beautiful bride and Beverly Hills Cop (which I probably hadn't seen since the late 80s). After mowing the lawn, relaxed for a bit before our new friends Ben and Ainsley Arment came over with their two boys for dinner.
Sunday watched highlights from the U.S. Open Saturday with the boys before heading to 12Stone for church. Watched the NCAA Championship DVD I got for Father's Day, again with the kids (Emerie cheerfully ran to tell mom when "The Jayhawks won!"), then had the Kubiceks over for an evening of food and cards.
In addition to some new clothes and the Championship DVD, bought myself some new tunes (James Hunter and Duffy), got a GREAT CD from Jeremie (The Weepies), and a two month subscription to Gamefly (think Netflix for Video Games) from my good friend Craig.
Still on the list? I think I've decided to pass on the 3G iPhone as I don't really need the GPS and the Edge speeds don't really bug me that much. Instead, I'm probably going to use my birthday cash and my $100 apple store credit (thanks to Steve Jobs) to by an AppleTV. Been eyeing it for awhile.
UPDATE: Bit the bullet and bought the AppleTV last night. Loving it so far! Picture & user interface are incredible. Still need to get a cord to get the digital sound to my receiver - had to borrow the DVD cable last night.
